20 Signs You're Watching Too Much Reality TV

Reality shows are taking over TV. They're the hot new way for networks to drag the masses to their stations. And why not? Everyone seems to have at least one Reality TV show that they love. Yet, with the production of a new show every other week, a question needs to be asked of us. Are we going too far?

The demand for Reality TV continues to rise because there's a portion of the general population that just doesn't see it for what it is - an inexpensive form of entertainment. You know who those people are. The barometer of their day is based on who is kicked off a show or goes on to the next level. And what's so sad is that they are oblivious to it. So I am going to switch the light on.

I am going to reveal the truth. Below are the top twenty signs that you are watching too much Reality TV. If you see yourself in this list, put the remote down and get yourself some help.
