Shows on MTV

I'm going to rant about shows on MTV. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed this... Why do they favor the rich or the preppy??? I look at every show on there, and they ALL have rich, wealthy people or just absolutely clueless preppy snobs. Examples include: "Exposed," "My Super Sweet 16," and "Parental Control."

The majority of the population who watches this crap aren't rich or preppy. They are average college and high school students just growing up and living their life. They are at the age where they are the most insecure about who they are. They are still trying to form their identities

I thought the mission of a television show was to appeal to the most people. Why would shows appeal to a small group of rich, wealthy people?

In my personal opinion, I feel that these shows should feature people from all walks of life. Shows like "Exposed" and "Parental Control" can still be successful with average people, rich people, poor people, etc. Why must they limit themselves to people who obviously have absolutely no clue about the real world.

Does stupidity really sell? I guess it does. Jessica Simpson made "Newlyweds" sell with her stupidity. What happened to originality? What happened to "intelligent programming?" Jerry Springer makes more sense than this. Despite the fact that Jerry Springer is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, it makes more sense than putting up with shallow people reject people for the smallest reasons. And on top of that, Jerry Springer attempts to teach you something at the end of the show. These preppy shows don't do any of that. All shows like that do is promote eating disorders and create a lack of self respect.
