Reality tv survives because there is no shortage of brain dead mulletts watching them , the rattings show that is what we want to watch . There is panic here in oz at the moment as there are more people starting to watch you tube than tv . We have a series at the moment here called puberty blues , it's about growing up in the 70's with the surfing scene and the kids versing the adults with a great soundtrack . The rattings for this show is huge as well as the new series called love child , which is a look at how it was frowned upon to get pregnant in the 60's underaged ,so they sent the girls away so the family could save face .. But they just don't see the writting on the wall ,they just keep feeding the mulletts loads of rubbish , and if you notice it's ALL just people being NASTY to each other , and they wonder why society is beating itself to death .
