Shows with meaning

I would like to take a brief moment to sum up the shows that in my opinion...and keep in mind that it is only my opinion, have some kind of substance to them. While some networks have tried to capture audiences with their best take at reality shows, most just don't come close to MTV, VH1 and even CMT these days...and I'm not so sure that this is a good thing especially considering that these networks are supposed to be music based. You might as well change the M in MTV to R for "Reality TV" because at just about any given time of day that is what you will find on this channel. Anyway getting back on track I find that shows such as Run's House, Made, Life with Ryan, Hogan Knows Best, and maybe even that Dallas Cowboys show on cheer camp, seem to have a little more to them than just the everyday drama or drunken babble that you find in the rest (ex Real World, those lame dating shows, I love New York etc.). While they may be somewhat entertaining to some there isn't really anything else to them. The shows with substance that I have mentioned above seem to have factors of inspiration,values, and may even show people that you really can accomplish the things you dream about. In a society where the youth seems to be getting lazy I feel that this is the kind of stuff we need more of...and not just through television shows. We all know Kids act out what they see so if immature non-sense, drunken arguments, and stupidity is what they most often view then it shouldn't surprise when the real outcome is exactly that. While that may be a harsh statement, if you stop and think about it is it really that far fetched?
These shows with meaning all have some aspect of kids or even adults pushing to make a change in themselves and reach goals. Some may argue that the children shown for example on "Run's House" or "Hogan Knows Best" have a big advantage because of who their parents are and hence are basically handed these positions in life... However it just goes to show that you really need to use your best resources in life whether its family, friends, or pure acquaintances to help give you that edge in life to get where you want to go.
While I may pick on MTV a little for the stuff that they put out there, there are other networks that do a better job of delivering quality reality TV. Hopefully as you guys are out there watching this stuff you don't completely turn off your brain. Question everything and try to find the good in the shows you watch.
