Marcie Fenster knows the reality TV shows she watches are purely for entertainment. She doesn't take them seriously and knows they're not that real.

She also knows the political pundits on cable TV, and even Sunday morning news programs, can get agitated. She's well aware that some of the ranting she sees is purely theatrical.

....and another thing we can blame television on... IT is NEVER anyone's Personal responsibility for the way they act.. WE continue to point the finger of blame on other things/people... Never instilling personal responsibility for our own actions... It's television where people learn .. it's the computer.. it is the other person's fault... It isn't any wonder why we are number one in the world for lawsuits... and why there is so many court shows on television.. good thing.. I would prefer the people go through the court on television than wasting my tax money in the 'real' courts. However, if anyone else watches them like myself... and sometimes...the people are completely out of their gourd ... lacking education, and no sense of any brain matter.
