Anyway, after "Big Brother" had come you couldn't switch on the tv without seeing it or hearing people talk about it - on every channel. Even though I've never seen it, I couldn't avoid to see those dull people and hear their stupid talk (one of them didn't know who Shakespeare was). Many of the people I know, even and especially the intelligent ones, followed the show, and annoyed me with their frequent talking about who was to leave next and who was the most handsome and such.
Ironically, those who left first (and were permanently in the tv after that) earned the most money. They became "stars" (well, in Germany, everyone who's been on tv once is a star). All this would have been still endurable, if not three(!) of the ex-candidates had recorded songs and seriously hurt my ears. I can only recommend to permanently disable all tv and radios everywhere this should go on air.

I heard there was some type of Big Brother idea where a woman was put in a small house complete made out of glass, and standing in the middle of a city...

Adn they weren't psycho's. Although one of them was very weird.
Quite frankly, it's far far FAR better than another fly on the wall documentary series about Vet's, or Jerry (which has gone downhill recently. He's not even trying anymore. And the new theme tune's crap).

I refuse to watch ANY of these shows. When they're on, I go down to my basement and watch porn. It's more intelligent entertainment.

My friends and co-workers thrive in all the bullying, backstabbing and trashing taking place in this new era of TV, so me feels...pretty lonely.

But why exactly the negativity towards the reality TV? Far less annoying a trend than, oh, newsmagazines or hospital dramas, both of which have had their day on U.S. TV. They may make me hate everyone on them with a passion, but that's part of the fun.

Mercifully, it's lifespan was brief. It was beaten in the ratings by "American Gladiators," another program we would have been better off without.
