I can deal with the partial non-reality of this reality show, which I generally enjoy. What I hate, though, (and the same is true of American Restorations) is the scripted comedy bits they have taken to inserting. These guys aren't actors, and their "impromptu banter" and practical jokes are always wooden and obviously staged. The underlying premise of the show is, to me, endlessly entertaining, and they should just focus on that.

yeah, that has really ruined Tanked for me as well. i love seeing the aquariums they make the all of the stuff in the middle is so obviously staged to the point that it just gets in the way now. maybe it's always been that way but the later episodes it seemed to be so much more obvious.
Fish Tank Kings is a better show to me for this reason alone, because it focuses more on the actual tanks, although they also have some stupid stuff in there. it's juts not nearly as much.

oh nice, you are one of "those" people, who are too cool for school! not surprising though since most people on this forum are too.
LMAO, that show wasn't even trying to look real.About as real as "World's Worst Tenants".
If anyone wants to know why reality shows are so popular, the answer is that it is all about money.
With more and more channels and tv shows becoming available at any given time it becomes increasingly difficult to generate a large audience to any particular show given the odds that people may find something else more interesting. This in turn makes it harder to generate ad revenue to keep up with the increasing costs to actually produce a T.V. show.
And it's not just the actors. You're paying for set design, producers, writers, wardrobe and make up specialists.
On the other hand producing a 'reality' T.V. show is dirt cheap by comparison. The formula is simple, just find some jack asses who are willing to act like idiots in front of a camera while loosely following a script or premise, and then get some people to edit the footage to suit the narrative and you have a reality show. They may not draw the large audiences, but they don't need to. The fact that they can produce these shows on such small budgets means that a small audience is all they need to sustain the program.
So in a nutshell. Blame capitalism for the cancellation of Firefly lol.
I can't even watch Pawn Stars because to me it epitomizes the downfall of The History Channel.
Anybody remember THC about 15 years ago? I could stay home sick from school and still learn more than if I'd actually gone.
