When I read "Fugitive" show, my first thought was that Schwarzenegger's "Running Man" might be possible in the near future too. They probably won't show live killing - but who knows?

See, you can almost hear the thoughts percolating inside my braincase. But I still don't have the energy for it.

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.

I don't know if I'd call them less annoying. I put them all on about the same level... :-)

There was a "Fugitive"-like show on American TV a few years ago. People running though open country chased by fascist-looking guys on ATV's, as I recall.

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

What's even worse than reality shows? Teen soap operas......No, actually reality shows are worse. But then you could argue that they're on equal footing. Because reality shows are solidly grounded in soap opera.

I don't watch reality TV. There is a gay couple living next door, and crack heads across the creek, and we all live in a hollow (holler) with hillbillies and red necks. Reality TV just isn't as interseting as reality.
One of the gay guys is a cousin of mine, and I'm realted to most of the hillbillies and rednecks.
