Norm Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Anyone else watching this? One of those social experiment reality programmes. 20 folk spending 2 months living in the stone age. One old dear in her 60s didn't even make it to the camp and another guy jacked it after the first night. Not sure if this could be interesting or shite. I'm hoping interesting but suspect it'll be shite. Edit - FFS. Some stone age. Their f?rs got maggots on day 2 so they've given them blankets.

Bridge of Djoum Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ''Reality'' TV is about as detached from reality as you could imagine. It really is about as low as entertainment can go. I find it tragic people waste chunks of their lives watching this utter dross. My post count is low, so I can't be accused of wasting my life on JKB just yet!

I find it tragic people waste chunks of their lives watching this utter dross. My post count is low, so I can't be accused of wasting my life on JKB just yet! To be fair, I would struggle to find anything on TV that is close to reality. Outside of the news and perhaps documentaries. I don't think many people take these shows as complete reality when they are watching them, it's just anther form of entertainment. Just becuase you don't enjoy it doesn't mean that people are wasting their lives. If that was the case then I'd say people were wasting their lives hillwalking as I don't enjoy it, which simply isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have a vague recolection of something similar being shown in the seventies. I was very young at the time but somehow memory of bare nips comes flooding back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives something back. Reality TV gives zero. It just isn't entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Spackler Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 To be fair, I would struggle to find anything on TV that is close to reality. I can help you out there. I watched the Hearts match on BBC Alba on Saturday night. From personal witness accounts given on here I would say the weight of opinion is that BBC did actually show "reality".

From personal witness accounts given on here I would say the weight of opinion is that BBC did actually show "reality". Good point. However I'm more getting at the point that If someone enjoys watching these programs then why should it be deemed that they are wasting their life away. The vast majority of entertainment programs are on tv for that very purpose, to entertain. Not everyone has the same taste and if someone prefers to sit in and watch a bit of celebrity big brother instead of the football then that's their choice. It isn't going to have a negative effect on their life anymore than anything else might. I know my fingernails take a hit watching hearts and don't if I decide to watch "I'm a celebrity get me out of here"! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I hadn't properly comprehended the point you were making and I kind of agree with you. Forget these programmes though, it's soaps that are the scurge. Eastenders and the like. The equivalent of the songs written to appease the Proles in 1984 if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to see friends and family, travel, find out more about my adopted city and country. Spend time reading to my daughter. You know, the enriching things in life.

djh83 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 And they've all been fed and watered.. I had to laugh. The producer, when deciding whether or not to intervene went "Look this experiment is not to starve people, but to see if they can survive, living as they did in 10,000 BC" Well if you have to intervene and give them food then the answer is clearly NO. Experiment over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
