Say someone asks me, "Do you like Science Fiction?" I have no trouble responding, "Yes!" because I know what the question means. But if someone asks, "Do you like Reality TV?" I hesitate. Not that this is a rage issue for me, but it's a minor life irritant to have to provide a lengthy explanation for the only honest answer I can give: "It depends on what your meaning of 'reality' is."
Two programs on my must-see list are Duck Dynasty on A&E and Big Rich Atlanta on Style. I fantasize seeing Ashlee and Katie (Big Rich Atlanta) sitting at the dinner table of Phil and Kay Robertson (Duck Dynasty). Oh, what I wouldn't give for an SRO ticket to that event!! And, in a contest of who is the better "true southern lady", I'm betting on Miss Kay over Katie every day of the week.
I watch reality "makeover" programs such as Kitchen Nightmares on FOX, Restaurant Impossible on the Food Network, Tabatha Takes Over on Bravo, Hoarders on A&E, Love It or List It on HGTV and re-runs of the now-cancelled Supernanny. I enjoy these for their feel-good, happy endings for struggling individuals and families, even though not every episode turns out that way.
Furthermore, I enjoy biographies, documentaries and general news and information programming which all deal with "reality" but it doesn't feel right to include them in the same category as the examples above.
