You've touched on a subject that I can easily get "fired up" enough to jump up on my soap box and go on & on about! I agree with you wholeheartedly
I will confess that I watched some of the initial showing of Survivor.........curious about the " latest" in TV programming.....but it didn't hold my interest long and later,.....when I happen to see some of the later episodes of another rendition......I viewed it quite differently.......without curiosity....and a lot more disdain......I consider it another example of the kind of meritless .... even worthless,..... stimulation for our minds. I'm not trying to offend anyone who happens to enjoy watching this "lightest" of entertainment.........forgive me if I have,........I just believe that our American Society has been "guided " into putting our minds in neutral
with these reality shows.......it really is all relative...the subject of "entertainment". Afterall,.....some folks may actually be entertained by worse things that reality shows!
