Scripted TV Vs Reality TV

Before we start I'm ganna say a little something in support of both of them although it could be biased because I personally prefer Scripted : Scripted TV: Its all fake so everything is fare , none of the viewers will ever exclaim that's impossible! This leaves room for the production of more creative and hence more entertaining stuff.Plus a lot of the good stuff isn't shot on camera in reality hence the best way to tell such stories is by recreating them in a fictitious setting . Reality TV: What ever happens is real , hence is taken more seriously and the audiences can be more involved . Besides that I can't think of anything , but that just means fans of reality shows have more to put forth in the responses and comments. So, which one do you prefer ? Is there anything you'd like to add about these two types of entertainment ? Are there any people out there that don't care about the type of TV shows as long as its entertaining regardless of being scripted or otherwise? LET THE ARGUMENTS BEGIN!!

like you, i like too the scripted because it allows our imagination to fly out of the window and explore the sky. the scripted TV shows are funnier and more entertaining than the reality-based shows which depend on scandals and outrageous acts and scenes to catch the attention of the public. by all means, i will watch a good scripted TV show than a reality show with personalities fooling around.

Yeah, also whenever they make something look real , which actually is not becomes interesting and more entertaining than reality shows all by itself . Reality TV just shows off lack of talented writers in the production of it that were not able to come up with a nice script and hence ended up creating a silly game or something of that sort. For me its like if I know its a reality show then that already lowers my expectations and despite that none of the reality shows have been able to meet my low expectations so matching the standards of a quality scripted TV show is a whole another thing.

scripted tv is not good and the heat is always on the audience who are watching it.so always the reality tv is much better and impossible to predict.so one should not make a fool of the audience,instead they have to satisfy the pulse of the audience and they must love it :)
