Are you sick of reality television?
Aimee Davis, 15, Standish
“I love ’em! I like Laguna Beach and The Real World. I learn stuff, relationship-wise, like how it’s stupid how people get in fights. I just find it interesting to watch.”
Cheryl Fulcher, 44, Bridgton
“For adults, it’s okay. For kids, it’s too much. Big Brother, The O.C., Survivor and shows like that are just too sexual. Even the regular shows on TV are too sexual. Leave something for the imagination.”
Leonard Swart, 62, Bridgton
“I usually ignore them, but, yeah, I’m sick of them. They’re not reality. They’re not the kinds of things you see everyday. I actually knew the guy that won the first Amazing Race. I do like that show. It’s less cut-throat than some others.”
Tyrell Brown, 13, Windham
“I like them, but it depends what the reality is about. I like Survivor and Celebrity Fit Club on VH1. My favorite is The Real World.”
Yvonne Pepin, 65, South Casco
“Yes, I am sick of them. There really are too many of them now. I think they must be running out of ideas. Even Fear Factor, I like it but I get turned off when they eat really gross things.”
Wallace Getchell, 74, Windham
“A very emphatic yes. Because I think it’s contrived. It’s a farce on real life. I don’t watch any reality shows.”
