What a moody family! Staged reality tv at it's worse. Title: Re: The Family Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 20:39:20 Is that where they're redoing that classic documentary from decades ago?
Title: Re: The Family Post by: Saxondale on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 20:42:21 I want to slap half of them already. Well just the mother and daughter for the moment, but im sure the hatred will develop if im forced to endure any more episodes of this tosh.

Title: Re: The Family Post by: janaage on Thursday, September 18, 2008, 08:02:32 I watched the first 10 minutes then switched it off, was awful.
Title: Re: The Family Post by: genf_stfc on Thursday, September 18, 2008, 09:22:15 I think this programme about a family of disfunctional stupid twats that need a good shoeing is aimed at families of disfunctional stupid twats that need a good shoeing.
The producers are clearly hoping that if you look through peoples windows while they are watching it you get one of those wierd effects like when you point a movie camera at its own output, or like in a hall of mirrors. Really its actually a deeply philosophical contemplation of infinity. Title: Re: The Family Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Thursday, September 18, 2008, 09:26:56 serves you all right for watching reality TV.
Title: Re: The Family Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, September 18, 2008, 10:36:00 Is that where they're redoing that classic documentary from decades ago? The difference is that the original 1974 family (from Reading, I think) took part in a ground breaking programme. The 'reality' genre has now been done to death. Can't really believe that there are producers out there still thinking 'I know, I've got this great idea' and then go ahead and make another series. It's all a bit dull. Title: Re: The Family Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, September 18, 2008, 10:54:06 Oh yeah. Obviously. And you've got the paradox of that the more the family are aware of the filming, and how it will affect their lives after, the less "reality" it will be.
Not telling a family they were being recorded might have some interest in it, although it would be a bit harsh on the family in question. |
