Title: Reality TV
Post by: Scott on September 23, 2003, 10:41:13 PM
I know we have talked about this topic before, but has anyone seen THE JOE SCHMO SHOW on Spike TV? It's a reality TV show that is not real. Not sure if they can duplicate this kind of show. Everyone on the show knows it is fake except one participant. If you like reality TV catch this one.

Also SCARE TACTICS is the most insane show ever on TV. Unbelievable !

I watched Scare Tactics once (well, only partly, couldn't sit through even 15 minutes worth).  Utterly unrealistic reaction to a scenario (I think it was about a missing corpse), they should have watched old Candid Camera shows, so it must be fake -- with bad/young actors.

Hmmm, I must say that Scare Tactics is one of my more favorite shows on TV today. It doesnt matter how fake it is, I love the reactions. I really feel it is an inventive show.

"Scare Tactics"?  "inventive"?  How can you use the two words in the same sentanc?  The basic premise is decades old ("Candid Camera") and they throw in some monementally stupid setups "Hey, granny's back from the dead!" or "Let's go get a job with a vampire!"  The only time it doesn't look fake is when they have to blow the setup early because the 'victim' obviously isn't buying it and they have to go to the punch line before the mark starts laughing or wanders away bored.

I tend to be too busy living my own life to watch people live there's.  If I'm going to stop my own life long enough to watch someone else, there'd better be time travelling cyborgs or giant mutant lizards involved
