no sign of big brother ending after 2 decades, lol

I think part of the idea is that people would watch it when there's nothing else on. Flip onto it when the ads are on elsewhere, that's still ratings

After a late night at the pub, I once sat up and watched with sick horror a concoction called "Celebrity Love Island".

It consisted on a bunch of tanned, athletic young men and women sunning themselves on loungers around a swimming pool.

After about ten minutes, somebody said something like, "Did you see {so-and-so) in the hall yesterday?" to which the answer was, "Yeah." Another ten minutes of silence.

Then a "splosh" as one of them dived in the pool, swam one length and came out again.

Then I think it was, "What did (so-and-so) say?" to which the answer was "Don' r'member."

Silence again.

I was waiting for something, anything to happen, like two of the guys being ordered to fight to the death, or something. Perhaps a competition to see who could hold their breath longest at the bottom of the pool.

But nothing did happen. Just a bunch of well-fed, self-satisfied, hedonistic young people with no more evident intellect than a somewhat backward traffic bollard might display.

I saw it was on again the next night. I didn't bother.


The restitution of life is no great feat. A variety of deaths may well enter into your punishment

I agree. There was no drama in his life until he started to suspect.

Watching the Truman Show in this movie's world, would be like watching 'Empty Nest' every day. No one can do that, it's one of the, if not the most boring TV show I have ever tried to watch.

I absolutely adore and LOVE Richard Mulligan, but that show is just ridiculously boring and repetitive, if not predictable. I could never go through another episode of that.. it's just so awfully bland and boring.

I guess some people would want to watch something like that, but I bet most people wouldn't - they would have to spice it up somehow, and this is even seen in the movie, they often 'dramatize' things and orchestrate dramatic music to certain places - this means they would probably dramatize it further with all kinds of things to make it interesting.

That kind of 'regular dude''s life is just not interesting to watch without some kind of dramatization. Just watch what they do with his 'dad reunion' stuff; the stuff of the most watched soaps. No way that's the only case where they'd do that, if this was real.

This is why 'reality TV' can never be truly real - no one trusts that real stuff would be interesting or entertaining enough, so they try to always 'spice' it as much as they can. The Dog Whisperer and Supernanny are probably the only two 'relatively truthful' shows, because you can't direct dogs and toddlers and kids all that effectively for the most part. It'd be impossible to find this many good 'kid actors' and 'dog actors', they're way too authentic. Plus, Cesar's wounds are way too real, there's no way that's just make-up and special effects.

Just as an example; if anyone watched MY life for two episodes worth, they would fall into a coma out of sheer boredom.
