sport. not just live sport (because I do like -some- sport, just not the ones they show on tv), but sports shows. like the footy show. horrible. I'd sooner stab myself in the eye with a rusty spork and follow it up with an eyeball bleaching than watch that. |

There is nothing "real" about "reality" TV, it's plain boring and inane. |

As I expected reality is winning closely followed by sport.
Mine would have to be reality and some sport,ie any kind of racing,golf etc sends me into a coma. |

I find that surprising becasue of the "success" of BB, then the continued success of shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race. The Apprentice -altho there has been a whole season of that in the US that we haven't even seen.
Maybe people are caught up in those other 'real' shows like Neighbours and Home & Away....
I can't believe ppl would rather watch a doco than a reality show, even BB! Get real. How many ppl have actually watched a documentary? |

So pretty much every show on TV that requires some thinking is in the bin for you  |

Thrilling television I'm sure... Anyways, this doesn't seem to be a good representation of how the entire society views these genres, since in Australia Reality TV is very popular. |

hehehe im starting to like this thread. excellent comment. and yea, since the ratings for reality shows are quite good, i think its pretty plain that more ppl are watching that than documentaries. Some of them are good i have to admit, but they aren't on free to air except during the day in non ratings - because nobody watches them! |

 ! now thats what I like about this site - everyone has a good sense of humour. I think we can't say we like only one genre - if you like reality, you might like Survivor but hate BB etc. I'm sure there are shows from each genre that we like. I hate american sitcoms as a rule, but occasionally there is one I do like, like that'70's show, and then they bloody well take it off!!! |

I put down Realty TV... but its hard 2 judge sport altogether in the one group... cause I love sport but there are sports that are really boring as hell like golf, racing & test cricket.... even though I love cricket test cricket sometimes can be really slow |

Reality is my least favourite genre, especially since I don't think it is possible to make a show that is genuinely real. The presence of cameras, microphones and other people must make it impossible for people to behave in a natural manner.
I like some documentaries, but some are really boring.

Reality TV was a bit 'wide' for my choice. I hate the 'good for you' type health shows. They turn into adverts for some dodgy remedy or expensive alternative service that has dubious value.
I voted for sport. . I almost never watch it . . and even this soccer thing is getting 'old' for me now and the games continue for another 3 weeks.!
