Basically stuff on Discovery/OLN/TLC - just great shows on almost 24/7.
People slam reality TV all the time (and with good reason when talking about the network stuff) but just like all TV there are good reality TV shows and bad reality TV shows.
I still enjoy Survivor, though not nearly as much as I used to.

Well really there are 2 types of reality TV, the type where people go on and make an idiot of themselves (american idol, etc.) and the type where they show peoples lives (Dirty jobs etc.) Really the ones that fall into the first category are mainly contests and game show types and the others are closer to regular TV shows.
I am not a big fan of the first type but I love the amazing race mainly because of the fact that they travel the world and it is not stuck on an island or something.
