There's too many reality shows and people trying to make a buck of what others see as their weird or different lives. Some is fun, some just stupid. But if people watch them then they stay on, if not, they disappear. Pretty simple formula, no need to argue about it.
Not everyone sees the appeal of every show or movie out, I can only take so much duck dynasty at a time, but it's mindless tv, good to chill after a long week of work!
