I'm still proud of the fact that I haven't seen Tiger King to this day.
That's an odd thing of which to be proud, but I'm the same way with mainstream music. We just like to feel like we are unique sometimes.
If more people would have rejected reality tv slop, we wouldn't have had The Apprentice. Tiger King is in the same category of weird, voyeuristic shit.
Wasn’t the apprentice was a game show? I believe tiger king was a documentary. Both slop sure but I don’t know that either count as reality TV do they?
If a game show leans heavy on the scripted drama, I classify it as reality tv. People aren't interested in the competition. They're interested in the conflict.
Same. Zero interest in that drama.
Thats because you think of it as just another carefully choreagraphed reality show. But this is more a WTF lets sit here and see what happens documentary. The guy who filmed it saw a train heading for a pile of dumpster fires and took a seat in it.
Me neither. Never saw Star Wars or any of the Harry Potter movies either.
As I tell my wife every time she reveals another pop-culture media source she's never seen, "m'eh. You're not really missing out on anything unless you actually want to watch it. In that case, I'm sure we can find a copy on the seven seas."
Congrats on your ignorance.
The irony.
Congrats on your superiority
Sad if true
