Now THAT was a great show!

GENE!!! .......  GENE!!!....The dancing machine. 

Hilarious that Barris ended up a possible CIA agent.   Now that would be great reality TV.

Shark Tank is faked?  I know real money is invested in the participants.

I guess the faking part could be that the sharks review the investments and people in a dress rehearsal, but still ...its real money.

Yeah, I think what they mean by "fake" is staged or sometimes rehearsed.  I would expect them to make sure the shows are watchable.

Alas, that was a myth he made up to sell a fiction book. But he downplayed his denial once they made it into a movie.

No, I was never a CIA hit man. I never did those things. I once applied for the CIA, and while I was going through the process I got a job and went on television. But I had always wondered what would have happened if I had done both.

It was amazing Barris got away with half his and his judges quips during the show.  Censures were real lienent on him considering contnet and it was the '70's.

OF course any young teenager like me at the time thought it was cool as all get out.

I think I stopped watching TV when the reality shows became the norm.  Idon't watch any of the reality TV shows, in fact the only thing that I watch on TV is "Yellowstone".  That's it.
