Yes. I agree with your first sentance. But I think I stopped expecting reality from reality shows a long time ago...probably by season 3 of The Real World. So it doesn't bother me. I like to watch it because my partner & I are city folk who often talk about finding a simpler country life. So it's amusing to us to watch what is essentially no more than Lucy & Ricky move to the country...but gay.
As for your second thought. I think they're a hot dysfunctional mess. But I like them...the series shows enough of the humanity underneath each of them to make me ultimately empathize with them. And, as I said, I don't know that their real life personalities are anything like the characters they play on TV. It didn't seem so to me when I met them. Now Rosie, that B anuthur storee.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.
