Blame Bush!? No way.

All of this has to have been caused by the Obama chick that was too busy partying to keep the Salad's, or whatever their name is, out of the state dinner.

Of course, barring the political gaggery, the sad thing is that the networks keep putting this garbage on the air because people just keep watching it.

Dancing w/Stars, American Idol, even if I don't watch I get it. They're game shows taken in a new direction.

But, Survivor, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, really? Why? Is watching someone eat bugs really that interesting? Or, watching the rich and infamous hob knob intriguing? Or keeping up with the celebrity wannabees enthralling?

I think I'd rather watch a re-run of Gilligan's Island.

Someone please bring back "My So-Called Life" or Daria or Aeon Flux. I miss the days where The State and Liquid Television (and similar shows) were the only NON-MUSIC VIDEO productions that MTV produced. Video killed the radio star, but reality killed the music videos.

      How many people actually watch this show? I remember working at one of the production companies that produces most of the major reality shows.

      My eyes would roll when these "contestants" would ask us to speak with their agents. It's not like we were hiring actors. We were hiring non-performers to appear in reality programming.

      Unless this show is highly rated, and I don't know because I don't care, these people may just get canned, or the show taken off the air. Producers really hate being upstaged.

        #1.18 - Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:41 AM EDT

        The "reality" shows I like are actually talent competitions.

        Dancing with the Stars and America's Got Talent are two of my favorite programs.

        Other than, I normally watch the news. I used to watch TVland but I saw many of those shows when they first came out so I know all the episodes by now.

          I'm glad they're STD-free, but do we really need to know that, much less care? Ugh, MTV has really gone downhill. Please just make this, The Hills brats (namely Pratt and Montag), and every other "reality" show just disappear. A lot of the things on these shows are either not realistic or just don't happen in reality period. Can someone just please make them go away? Please? For the sake of human sanity?

          Dump the reality shows! YEARS ago they were fine, now they are scripted and in their contracts to play characters. ALL FAKE JOKES! MTV has made huge money locking kids (they used to be college students) in contracts that are worthless and then making millions.

          If you want reality tv not on crack, go to the Discovery Channel. At least you learn something real.

          Sure, there are some, as there are in all states, but take note of the fact that they had to go outside of New Jersey to New York to get this batch of skanks. Staten Island, Brooklyn, etc.

          Note how Snooki went to school to be a Vet Tech. This girl has no business being around animals. I'm thinking her way of cleaning the pelicans is to use the Sitch's abs as a washboard and scrub them that way. But it works out for him too, he gets all the oil on his abs that he wants! Then again, it might deplete the spray-on tan...I'm sure that damage would be worse than the oil spill.

          Jneen...Jersey doesn't have a fraction of the crime on Longuylind, Stetinylind or Brooklyn. And, if you notice, it's always the same kinds of crime young punks beating up on street people, minorities or else they're shooting innocent kids in gun wars over drugs.

          Noo Yawkahs make me laugh. They whine and cry about the cost of living there. Then, they move to Jersey where the cost of living is higher.

Reality TV "stars" need a dose of reality.... listen....you are not a celebrity! Do something in your life and then go on strike.

            I have met the 1% that loves this show. Of course they were a group of early 20-somethings with sh*t for brains. I was hosting a bachorlette party for a friend and she had some really dumb young friends. Anyway, the show was on while we were getting dressed to go out and they were raving about it. I had never seen anything more idiotic in my whole life. I think that it scrambled my brain a little.

                You asked "Why would anyone want to see a group of people who portray trash so well?" Answer is because the people who watch it want to feel better about themselves and their lives and these "trashy" people are such dumbasses that they can make anyone feel better about their life. So in that sense the show does have some value but not enough to keep it on. HEY MTV, IF YOU CAN ALL THE REALITY TV SHOWS AND PUT THE MUSIC BACK ON YOUR RATINGS WILL INCREASE!!!

                    ewent - if you were truly born & bred in NJ, you'd know that the ferry has nothing to do with Jersey; it runs from Staten Island to lower Manhattan. Although I understand that there used to be a ferry from Staten Island to (I think) Hoboken, but it's long gone.

                    It's the Verrazano Narrows bridge that's to blame. My wife's a native Staten Islander and she says the Island used to be beautiful and unspoiled until the bridge opened in 1964, allowing the plague of Brooklyn to expand, and pollute the entire area..

                      Sometimes I feel really old cuz I remember when MTV meant "MUSIC Tele Vision" When was the last time anyone saw music on MTV?

                      REALLY EARLY IN THE AM AROUND 4 or 5am. but your right MTV needs to get back into the music. Ditch the reality TV cause its not worth watching.
