Are there too many reality shows on TV? Virginia and Pablo, two of our students, give us their opinions

Realities are programs where there are real people and not fictional characters in a series that are interpreted by actors.
First we can say that today there is a great variety of realities about dating as “Who wants to marry my son?”, “Who wants to marry my mother?” or “A prince for Corina”,  about kitchen as “Master chef” or “Top chef”, about famous as “The island with the celebrities” or “Alaska and Mario”, about singers “Your face  is familiar for me”, etc.
But realities all are equal and there is nothing educational. It should have more series, movies or documentaries but the TV is based on the audience and there are more programs as the realities because people like laughing at other people and that is the reason that we find very strange people on realities.
(Virginia)



Every time I turn on the Spanish television, I’m sure to find a reality show on most channels. In my opinion, there are definitely too many reality shows (I  said “rubbish program”) on TV for the following reasons:
Firstly, there are several daily reality shows in the public channels.
Secondly, there is a channel, whose owner is Berlusconi, and which only make reality shows, even in protected time.
Finally, the rest of the private channels do the same.
I think that public channels should never have reality shows, so it should show culture programs and films in original version. Also, Berlusconi’s channels should be closed because it doesn’t obey the TV’s laws.
I think that these programs wouldn’t  exist when:
a). We distinguish between public (awards, world champions, works of the people) and private affairs (relationships, weddings, …). Channels only should show public affairs.
b). We eliminate double morality:
If a woman works in “the oldest world’s work” with other person and earn a few euros, they can be fined with one thousand euros and we think that they have done a bad thing.
But if the same woman stay with a famous person in a luxury hotel, she can go to these programs (such as “Salvame”,…) and earn in five hours more money than in all her life and this program will be the most watched program of the day.

P.S. This text is dedicated to Isaac, who hates these programs.
(Pablo)
