TV Shows You Think Are Fake/Staged

[Psycho]

What are TV shows made to appear real, that you think are actually staged? (TV shows that are still running, or old shows.)

WWE is obviously notoriously known to be staged. But one thing some people might not know is that the wrestlers actually get hurt, quite often. They did in old school wrestling anyway. For example one time Andre the Giant stood on Jake the Snake's long hair while he was on the ground, and lifted Jake up, and pulled his hair out.

I think 60 Days In might be staged. It seems way too dangerous and unpredictable to throw random people into a prison.. Even though everything's being monitored

All of 'em, scratch a few game shows. America's Got Talent, The Bachelor, 90 Day Fiance. If you'd pay attention to the shows, you wouldn't have to wonder, you'd know they're fake.

I'd say the best way to know they're fake is to not watch them for about 5 to 10 years, and then start watching them.

It's easier to see how fake it is when you're not steeped in it all the time, in my experience.

Another way is to watch all the "Got Talent" shows from all the other countries as well as "America's". They are all exactly the same, with different judges. It's very surreal when you finally "see" it.

"who's got talent?"

more like "who's a marketable personality"

remember william hung from american idol?

dude didn't need to win to get a record deal... and it was never about winning... it's all a sham to scout talent and make money doing so.

all of them?

what T.V. show do you think is "real"?

This is a good point, but doesn't quite address the question posed by the OP.

The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, and Ashoka (sp?) aren't pretending to be reality.

I guess it was confusing...

my response is:
all of them

my counter-question is:
which do you think are not?

Oh, you made a good point, too, like I said.

I can't think of many. The sports, weather, traffic, and lottery announcements?

Yeah, that's all I can think of.

I've heard credible explanations about all the Pickers shows and Storage Wars and Hometown HGTV shows being everything from completely fake to seriously truth-stretching.

Ben and Erin on Hometown seem genuinely nice. But are they? F if I know.

If it's on a television, I don't trust it.

I trust "how to build a concrete block foundation wall" by anywhere from five to fifty different, reputable tutorial makers on YouTube more than anything on TV. Or name your subject.

Ryan Hall Y'all more than any TV or Weather Channel people.

Anything on TLC, possibly to varying extents. I’ve got a family member basically glued to that channel. I’d be a liar if I said 90 day fiancee wasn’t somewhat entertaining though lol
