Honestly, I don’t watch reality TV shows. They don’t interest me. I’m more of a fan of other types of TV shows.

That's a fair point, But for me, reality TV is all about unwinding and having fun. I don't take it too seriously as well. I just love how some of the shows inspire me.

It has to be REALity TV for me to enjoy it.
There's too much scripting in most reality shows these days.
Remember COPS? Or am I too old? Unscripted police interactions. Now, you can tell that type of stuff is even scripted these days.
That's why I stick to docuseries/documentaries now.

I remember the show COPS. It's actually still airing to this day, currently in its 36th season. There have been many other cop TV shows, such as On Patrol: Live, and they used to have Live PD, I like watching Law and Order: SVU and Chicago PD.
There's also a show called Court TV.

I've heard it's still running, but don't have a channel for it. I also heard that it's more scripted, too. Can you confirm whether it's REAL or if producers might be feeding lines to some of the police or if they're picking/choosing police interactions that would get better ratings?
I haven't heard of these, but I'll give them a look.
I really enjoy Code Blue Cam on YouTube because it's the entire police interaction by bodycam, but narrated by a nice voice that keeps you listening over the entitled screams of criminals trying to get out of an arrest.
I can get hooked on some SVU real quick. I swear, that show is a drug. If I open it up, I'm binging a season.
I don't think I've watched it all, but I have seen more episodes than fingers and toes, for sure.

Cops isn’t scripted, but they do uses the cinéma vérité style.
I’ll have to check out Code Blue Cam though. I haven’t seen it yet. They recently released a new show called “On Call” on amazon prime though.
Law and Order SVU is actually on their 26th season now. It’s been a while since I last watched it.

I meant more scripted in the sense that they go out on all 9-11 calls, but only play the most entertaining. Otherwise, it'd be pretty boring.

Reality TV shows sometimes doesn't look like it is entertaining mostly when they begun to expose some certain parts. It can be quite boring to some people. So, I get why you may not really be a fan.

Some of it can be quite entertaining but some can be very dumb. In that case, it's just like other TV.
Anyway, what you think is dumb is quite subjective, I think. I mean, unless there is just what seems to be bad acting, even if it's in the concept of reality TV, then who are we to judge? Anyone agree? Why or why not? Can you all give examples?
Note: myself, I prefer reality shows about fixing homes and I also like Duck Dynasty (a family-oriented comedy). Is there anyone into this stuff?
And I prefer reality TV when it comes to shows that are not on pay channels (HBO, Starz etc.). The other shows on non-pay channels are too politically correct or something. They're lame. It's nothing like stuff in the past like Sanford and Son, Alf etc.
