Yet another negative feature of modern television is called “trash TV.” These daily talk shows bring real people with strange or immoral lives, personalities, or behavior to the screen. Millions of viewers—including children—watch as these “instant stars” tell their most personal secrets, shout out their angry feelings and opinions, and attack one another. TV watchers seem to like the emotional atmosphere and excitement of this kind of programming. What effect does frequent viewing of such programs have on people’s lives? It makes television more real than reality, and normal living begins to seem boring.
