Made

Over the past few years since reality shows have become more popular MTV has produced many, some bad like "next", and some good like "made". Not being a fan of the "reality" genre i didn't quite know what to expect but i was pleasantly surprised. Made follows teens who want to achieve dreams that wouldn't be possible under normal circumstances and have a few months in which to do so. Unlike many reality shows - made is fast moving and keeps the viewer entertained and doesn't "bore" them like many similar shows do. The dreams are also quite varied and not the usual cliché - "want to lose weight" or "want to look pretty". I think parts of the show are scripted, but that just makes its entertaining since on the whole its pretty much unscripted - (or at least it would appear so). Any young adults from 13 to 20 would find this show at least mildly interesting since it deals with a lot issues surrounding young people today. I guess a nice touch is that it always finishes on a high note, and a bit of optimism wouldn't go amiss in todays society.
