I have recently viewed a number of new reality television shows. Some of these are concepts that are of interest and others I have watched just to see what all the fuss is about. I generally do not like watching reality t.v. because there is so much fighting and yelling. I do not like getting yelled at by the t.v. after a long day of doing whatever I have been doing. I do not like the cattiness and superficial characters. I guess that just means I haven't been watching the right kind of shows, right? The shows I have opened up to are not like that. They are mostly on TLC or The History Channel and feature a lifestyle and not a circumstance people were thrown into by a producer. Maybe this is the recipe I prefer if I have to chose a reality genre.
A couple of shows that I have recently tried out have been about concepts that are relatively foreign to me. I've enjoyed Duck Dynasty, although before watching it I didn't think I would and couldn't see why others did. I saw the posts about the show on social media and questioned why the poster had been watching a show about duck hunting. The show does a nice job of tying all of the story lines together with one family value lesson that has been observed by the Duck Dynasty family.
I also recently tried out Deadliest Catch, which I have nicknamed King Krab because I like to give things silly nicknames. The series is not bad, however I would have to say that I am in no way hooked on it. The show offers an interesting insight into fishing and reveals the complexities of the process. Although I have been crab fishing, this is a concept that is alien to me.
Both of these shows have some sort of educational value inserted in between the drama. For the most part, there is no yelling, or backstabbing, although I could be wrong. It is still early in my viewing days.
