I have a theory that Clare from my wife in kids got surgery cause she was insecure about how she looks and micheal and jay play into it Because they want to teach her a lesson and she only dates tony because he's a Christian and loves her beyond her looks
John Amos was right. The show had real substance when it focused on the parents and the whole family and their experiences. When it became all about JJ’s silliness, Good Times lost its impact.
The ONLY reason anyone watched was for JJ. We weren't interested in the lectures of Micheal. We are still not interested in lectures by anyone else. TV shows do not have "impact". They exist for entertainment.
I watched the show in reruns as a little kid. The "messages" definitely made an impression on me. All of Mr. Lears shows(all on reruns😊) were a part of having important examples and discussions with my parents that made me I think, a good person and a good parent to my own kids❤. That man made a difference in countless lives with his work ❤@@Cassandra-..-
@@goodoldbubba6620 maybe to mindless sheep like you. They have an "impact" whether you're consciously aware of it or not. For example, ever heard of propaganda? What a mind-boggingly absurd comment.
I can confirm the Pawn Stars conspiracy! My dad’s best friend was on as an expert frequently. They would hire an actor to bring in a rare historical item and my dad’s friend would get called in to give it a value. It’s was my dad’s friends item the whole time. That’s why he was the expert and always knew the value of everything they called him in for lol
What’s crazy is when something like Cosby or Diddy comes out and everyone is shocked but when you go back people were telling you all along but everyone thought it was a joke…
Umm like Epstein trump hugh Hefner Weinstein woody Allen etc. pretty much all of white Hollywood that seems to slide right past everyone! Cosby just so happened to want to purchase a network “NBC” all the women that partied at the playboy mansion decided 30yrs later they should say he took advantage of them🤔 it’s extremely unbelievable! Yet if u want to destroy a clean image, change the statue of limitations without any evidence & convict just on hearsay🙄 bs
You missed one of the craziest ones ever put on television. In Canada there was a show called da Vinci's inquest and on the show they had a re occurring show theme about missing women that ended up mirroring the Robert Pickton Serial killer case about 10 years later. This was because the writers went out and spoke to people who lived on the streets at the time and the police didn't and completely missed a real life serial killer when the TV show basically solved it well before the police knew it existed.
Not shocking in the least. Look up the Highway of Tears in northern BC, how the cops KNEW up to 120 First Nations women had been unalived by males, and did nothing, lying and claiming the women did it to themselves. Members of the rghti wngi government deliberately destroyed records on the cases. Several RCMP were alleged to be perpetrators of the unalivings.
RIGHT! I used to love that show and while it was clear they went super over the top with the customizations, the amount of tv trickery was kind of shocking when I learned it.
I just seen a video like this about Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They totally screwed those poor people over. Some had foreclosures, others had to sell their homes, most went into debt.
Back when Ellen was doing stand up, I just assume she was gay and anybody can tell just because of her androgynous look. Cosby on the other hand, never heard any rumors. Cosby is such a disappointment because he was the wholesome positive force in entertainment for long time.
Small detail but Susan had been licking those envelopes for hours, so she had essentially been ingesting poison and not just killing over randomly after a minute.
I don't watch "reality" shows. The first one I actually turned on was "Average Joe" and the first contestant bounced was a guy I knew who was trying to become an actor.
@@ecamp6360 The actor thing doesn't surprise me. If one looks back in the history of The Dating Game, one can find episodes with Steve Martin, Andy Kaufman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few. People are on these shows to find love but not personal love, more the "adored by the public" kind of love. Basically to be seen I guess.
My friend's brother saw an ad online for a job interview. He went to the interview & it turned out to be some fake segment for Pawn stars. Long story short. They paid him a few bucks. He signed a waiver & was on TV for like 2 seconds
Yeah, that Cash Cab one is stupid. You really think the host is going to carry around thousands of dollars in cash all alone? That's a perfect way to get robbed.
Yeah, I know that show was fake. There's no way random people are knowing these difficult, random questions when many Americans can barely name a country outside of the US or name more than 5 US states.
To be fair to Survivor, Jeff often will say "We'll give you a minute to strategize and we'll get started" so we do know that the contestants just don't go into challenges blindly, we just rarely see the strategizing and never have seen Jeff go into more detail on each section
The use of fake currency is not limited to Cash Cab. The Price is Right, 1990s Hollywood Squares and and any other show where a contestant is handed $100 or more of cash or a pile of cash is shown (Season 1s of Millionaire and Survivor) actually gets a check. That's not only to prevent theft by staff, but also to properly document winnings for tax purposes.
Jeremy McKinnon, the lead singer of metalcore band A Day to Remember, was in the shop when he was approached by the producers of Pawn Stars and asked to sell a guitar because he "looked like a band guy." Apparently, they weren't aware that he was famous for, indeed, being a "band guy."
#18 No Seinfeld fans were not felling weird that day - Everybody hated her character and we were all glad she was gone. Also, there is no secret to this. They have all discussed this together and stated they found it difficult to work with her timing, but later on, they actually regretted killing her off.
You ever heard of "focus groups"? They've been part of TV for a really long time. As a child, I was in one about "Electric Company" (if I'm remembering the name correctly).
They haven't been REAL since the very first Survivor. As a person who has understood television program since I was a kid (I hung around TV and movie productions when I was in elementary school) I spotted how fake it was on the first show. I never "willingly" watched it again, nor most of those shows because of it (but I have starred in 5 Canadian ones, just for some fun). Even shows like Idol have a scripted element. Can't You See it?
The masked singer. I’m quite certain the celebrity doesn’t get into costume until the final unmasking of their character. Every other time it’s actors in costumes.
@@Heathcoatmanyes. He was very famous in the 80’s. I believe Greys was somewhat of a “comeback” but he was definitely a known entity. When the series started, I remember people making a big deal of the fact that Patrick Dempsey was in it.
There was an HBO movie called Late Shift that explored the background of that alleged Leno/Letterman feud, but it came out in 1995 when not everyone had all the secret info.
Another thing on survivor is that - the helicopter/drone shots of challenges don't show the other cameras filming the competition. That is quietly acknowledged to be done by sending the contestants back to camp, removing the other cameras, and having the "Dream Team" interns dress up as doubles of the contestants to re-enact. That's why contestants are unable to select their own wardrobe; either production or the contestant must buy the duplicate. There are even photos from an Amazon (Season 6) dream teamer dressed as the decades younger eventual winner.
I'm surprised there wasn't at least an honorable mention for those cooking shows where the celebrity chefs really aren't the ones who choose the winners, that producers will "tweak" the results to make certain more "sellable" characters go through.
I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy much, but was aware Patrick Dempsey had become nothing less than a never more popular, tv sex symbol for his portrayal of a doctor. But, what is this?! He caused PTSD!? As an actor? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is known as a military veterans battle fatigue et cetera Disorder. Were talking seeing too many people killed, killing too many people, why am I still alive type nightmare stuff> WTF was Dempsey doing to his fellow cast and crew members? anyways I loved Bill Cosby: Himself. I must have watched the standup routine on cable tv a half dozen times, bringin myself to tears laughing on more than one occasion. "Please child, do what your mother tells you ... " While the Cosby tv show was #1 and I was SO starting to notice a growing up Lisa Bonet ( I had watched Angel Heart much to my Lisa Bonet delight ... unique murder mystery with New Orleans voo doo what's real storyline adding to the cajun movie mix, too); but I will never forget Cosby making his comments about Bonet hurting the image of not only the Cosby Show, but her career as well to which she responded: "He should be more concerned about the parade of women he has passing through the set ...!" And it was like, oh, what exactly does THAT mean? Which we honestly knew, and wondered what his wife might be thinking or say publicly? which it did not appear "Camiille" ever really made a grand statement for or against her husband. Anyways we know what Lisa B meant. right down to the dressing room. Truly the most disappointed I've been by a Hollywood performer/actor movie star. I remember watching Cosby 'host' the Fat Albert show as a kid on Saturday morning cartoons. HEY HEY HEY! The Brown Hornet is on! Man, great memories ... and then an image of someone totally blown up completely shattered.
If you like reality shows, that's great. But you have to know that they almost all 90% staged. Like, people realize that nobody goes on the Batchelor to find love or a relationship.....right?
I always felt the same thing. I never begrudged anybody that watched shows like Survivor or Bachelor (well.... maybe a little for the Bachelor) but would always say to them "okay, but you do know it isn't real right?" It's like WWE, if you enjoy it sure, but don't try to pretend it's real, it just makes You look stupid
Ellen's show wasn't canceled because of 'backlash' over her being gay. It was canceled because, after the revelation on the show, it completely changed in tone, from a hilarious good time coming close to the level of "I Love Lucy", to a relentless, joyless, treatise, every episode, on the hardships of being gay - which inspired even Elton John to say, "Shut up already. We know you're gay. Be funny."
It's funny how after Finding Nemo came out, everything about her past retroactively changed and was given a more favorable rewrite. Usually that kind of thing only happens in comic books, or in whitewashed history.
I am not surprised by "House Hunters". but what I find Hilarious is that the 2 "random homes' aren't even "for sale", I mean, at least put Some effort in
It was true 3:12 that Amos didn't like what JJ was doing to the show, but in another interview to JJ he said that he didn't give a damn and that he wasn't going to let the opportunity to shine in his career as a comedian to please anyone. He was doing it completely on purpose and conscious of what was happening. Originally, his famous catchphrase "Dyno-mite!" was supposed to be said in a more moderate way in the episode where it appeared, but he looked at it and decided that it didn't have any 'impact' that way, and gave a twist to it in his own comedic way, and the rest is history. He became a phenomenon and made the most of it for as long as he could.
That was Michael Larson. He won $110,237 in cash and prizes (a lot for 1984) by memorising the Big Board's light patterns and knowing that two squares always gave out cash and an extra spin. There were times when he stopped too early like when he won a sailboat and a trip to The Bahamas, and the very first occurrence when he hit a Whammy on his very first spin. He didn't pass the four spins he had until he broke six figures with his winnings at $102,851. His second round run at the Big Board ran so long they had to split the episode into two parts.
A friend of mine used to do all the work for one of these home renovation home makeover shows. Then when it was all done, the pretty blonde host of the show would come out with her nail bag and hammer and hammer one nail on camera to pretend she did the work.
Wasn't there a theory about The Price is Right at one time? Not about Barker's Beauties and Bob fooling around, but about the wheel they spin in the 2 segments?
How could you watch Pawn Stars (and anything similar) and not know that it is scripted. The shows need to be entertaining and not just a mess of unplanned footage.
I always rolled my eyes over things like "He just graduated from college, and she is starting working as an administrative assistant. Budget: $750,000" or something ridiculous like that.
To be fair American Idol sucks now. All they show is good ones and all they say are nice things. It has the exact opposite problem and they don't make superstars anymore like they used to.
@@BAL9292 no, that's rigging. If you can't win as soon as you drop your quarter in, that's rigged. Technically, even though the course was hard, it was winnable every time.
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist it is not. Your explanation misses the actual conspiratorial part, aka the part where people gather in absolute secret to conspire against something, like the people, the government or anything. To quote Wikipedia: "A conspiracy, also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it." Hiding, faking or just not mentioning things does not count as a conspiracy. Most of this stuffs "Secrecy" falls basically under "NDA", not "conspiracy".
@OssiEastborn So the TV audiences don't count as "the people," then? Good to know. I read the same source. Funny how I came to understand what that page was saying, and somehow you did not. Almost as though you only read the headline and didn't actually follow up by chasing down the sources cited, then go and chase up the definition further in Webster's, the OED, and Cornell's exhaustive legal site. Anyway, as you were. Happy gish galloping.
@AlexGreeneHypnotist wow, so you read so many sources just to be dead wrong. I, if in your place, would seriously doubt my readingcomprehension abilities at that point. And yes, the Audience are people but not actively involved. They are observers and thus personally unaffected by any of these. Plus, almost nothing here is illegal and almost nothing is done in secrecy amongst only the competitors. So no, not a single of the 20 points counts as a conspiracy, not to mention a conspiracy theory. If you are still insisting, how about you list every single hard condition for a conspiracy AND an Conspiracy Theory, and then how any of this is fulfilling those conditions. And remember, it has to fit all.
@@OssiEastborn You cannot possibly be contradicting Webster's and Cornell Law. I can only surmise that your contrarian attitude is performative, because your ignorance is like a Jolly Roger flag on an approaching ship - signalling nothing more than an intent to act with malice.
What I don't get is when an actor is proven to be an asshat to work with and repeatedly causes trouble on set then even gets fired for this type of behavior, why are they ever hired again? Who in their right mind purposefully hires a troublemaker? Hollywood seems to reward bad behavior. Fun fact: the original title of Ellen sitcom was These Friends of Mine.
In high school I was on the Academic Quiz Bowl Team. We played in a tournament where the sponsor/teacher of the other team would cough and clear his throat and sinuses a lot. Anybody who's ever played a card game for cash can see all the tricks to cheat as long as they keep their eyes and ears open.
Even beyond that, the show went to shit when she came out. I watched that show regularly as a teen but as soon as she came out the quality dropped . What went from clever writing to gay jokes. And it was like the same exact joke done over and over and over and over. There was no depth anymore.
@@JB-ot7sdYour comment mirrors Hollywood and Television writing in general. Once a movie or show hooks us with an entertaining character and/or quality storyline, the powers that be beat the dead horse to an unrecognizable pulp 🫠.
I always thought that Survivor was filmed and scripted. So not surprise there's teaching as well. Plus they need to be teaching the contestants else there'd be a lot of allegations including human rights abuses
That might not be the fame thing. That's just some men. Particularly from around the time Bob Barker was born. I was brought up in a totally female household and was the doted on only son, younger brother AND older brother. (my dad had died in 1975 when I was 10) My point being, that I grew up the exact opposite. And talk to men and women exactly the same due to being around mostly females. But being an actual male myself.
After seeing Pawn Stars,I have an idea for a new pawn shop show. Pawn Polygraph,a pawn shop owner will be hooked up to polygraph machine and reveal the TRUE value of an item.
It's interesting that, if it were actually true, reality TV would still be a vapid, stupid, waste of time. But the fact that it's also staged makes it truly one of the worst features of popular culture to ever exist.
You can tell whether a team is going to win on Legends of the Hidden Temple by where they place the object. If it's in one of the last 2 rooms, definitely. If it's in one of the 3-part room, no way they'll win. Remember, once the contestant has the object in their hands, all the doors open up so they can quickly run out.
Also, the Temple Guards disappear as well once they recover the object. So the contestants don't have to worry about running into a temple guard whole heading to the exit.
As to John Amos, his character's death off screen and the reason behind it was not a secret. I remember reading about in in TV Guide before the episode aired.
As someone that used to work in tv, it never ceased to amaze us how many people think that everything they see on tv is real. I mean, think about it. Is a production company really going to get all the crew, equipment and presenters together and just hope to happen upon a member of the public who'll consent to be on the show and provide good content? That would be idiotic. To be honest, most of us didn't even realise the public wouldn't realise this stuff until there were a few "scandals" like these.😂
The same thing happened with the voice; it should be sued. The winners and the show top models are pre-picked. They had a cute blonde that everyone loved, but the show deliberately picked a black girl. halfway in a fan comment, they saw the white girl working at a Star Bucks and we were shocked! they ask why she is here and she says flat out she didn't win they wanted a black girl to win and she was done with modeling because of racism! the last five episodes even showed the host being nice as hell to all the black girls and rude to all the other who were voted off! Something with THE VOICE: The winner is picked by the producer, not the fans. It shows for one second at the end of the credits to make it legal-wtf!
@@jimbo9208 And it’s weird, especially when they’re teenagers in Euphoria, have secks and doing dhrugs, misspelled so the comment is auto removed by UA-cam. It’s weird AF for middle aged adults to act out being horny, drugged up teens.
Ed Marinaro's character on Hill Street Blues was abruptly shot and sent to the hospital in season 2. His agent told him to accept a cheaper contract or his character would die.
#16 British/Millionaire - the crew recognized what was going on while filming but they couldn't stop the show due to scheduling and they didn't pay him because they knew before he left that day that he had cheated and who was helping.
Agree and it took the crew a long time to figure out the “coughing” was part of it. I think the participants had been to previous shows and the lady had a “cough” in it so the show producers weren’t suspicious!
The animated show Total Drama Island felt like a parody of Survivor PAWN STARS is staged but it used to be entertaining keyword used to be Years later Ellen turned out to be a terrible person.. lol
4:57 LMAO it never was a conspiracy or hidden. After the show took off the producers laid the whole thing out in an interview, starting with all TV shows are scripted as in they need to be organized for production, or else you get the chaos of season 1, which drove them nuts filming in the shop. They had to stop filming in the shop because too many people were showing up just to get on TV, and it was screwing up business closing down to film. SO by season 2 or 3 they built a sperate studio duplicate of the shop, the store workers would point the wannabes and items they thought would make good TV to the producers who vet them all,. then they are sent off and sked to return to the studio they built in the back to film the negotiation. The experts get notice of the item so they can research if needed, the producers research the history if needed, writers write the history lessons the fans liked so much if needed, they know their stuff in their areas, the experts do not get paid, they do it to promote their own businesses, they all show up to film, and tehy grab actual customers from the shop who sign releases to be extras on camera. The funny little skits between the four main are written (our guy's aren't actors who can adlib) the Old man was asked to be grumpy (though not a big stretch), Chum because of his appurtenance was asked to be the comic relief screwup, with scripted antics. You can't have a show with no relatable characters and interactions. And the most loveable are the Archie Bunker's and The Jerry Lewis types. No I didn't watch the show. But I did read the interview. 😁

It’s pretty obvious Ramsey isn’t that much of a hot head. Tho I think sometimes he really does lose his shit on kitchen nightmares.
One of my friends (Austin Carty) was on Survivor and he said they don't help you one bit, unless it's a legit medical issue, etc...
There was an HBO movie called Late Shift that explored the background of that alleged Leno/Letterman feud, but it came out in 1995 when not everyone had all the secret info.
Like half of these aren't "conspiracy theories" at all.
More like "20 speculations that turned out to be true"
Only half? Not a single one is
Another thing on survivor is that - the helicopter/drone shots of challenges don't show the other cameras filming the competition. That is quietly acknowledged to be done by sending the contestants back to camp, removing the other cameras, and having the "Dream Team" interns dress up as doubles of the contestants to re-enact. That's why contestants are unable to select their own wardrobe; either production or the contestant must buy the duplicate. There are even photos from an Amazon (Season 6) dream teamer dressed as the decades younger eventual winner.
I'm surprised there wasn't at least an honorable mention for those cooking shows where the celebrity chefs really aren't the ones who choose the winners, that producers will "tweak" the results to make certain more "sellable" characters go through.
Many of these weren't conspiracy theories. They were known by many but were trivialized.
I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy much, but was aware Patrick Dempsey had become nothing less than a never more popular, tv sex symbol for his portrayal of a doctor. But, what is this?! He caused PTSD!? As an actor? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is known as a military veterans battle fatigue et cetera Disorder. Were talking seeing too many people killed, killing too many people, why am I still alive type nightmare stuff> WTF was Dempsey doing to his fellow cast and crew members? anyways
I loved Bill Cosby: Himself. I must have watched the standup routine on cable tv a half dozen times, bringin myself to tears laughing on more than one occasion. "Please child, do what your mother tells you ... "
While the Cosby tv show was #1 and I was SO starting to notice a growing up Lisa Bonet ( I had watched Angel Heart much to my Lisa Bonet delight ... unique murder mystery with New Orleans voo doo what's real storyline adding to the cajun movie mix, too); but I will never forget Cosby making his comments about Bonet hurting the image of not only the Cosby Show, but her career as well to which she responded: "He should be more concerned about the parade of women he has passing through the set ...!" And it was like, oh, what exactly does THAT mean? Which we honestly knew, and wondered what his wife might be thinking or say publicly? which it did not appear "Camiille" ever really made a grand statement for or against her husband. Anyways we know what Lisa B meant. right down to the dressing room. Truly the most disappointed I've been by a Hollywood performer/actor movie star. I remember watching Cosby 'host' the Fat Albert show as a kid on Saturday morning cartoons. HEY HEY HEY! The Brown Hornet is on! Man, great memories ... and then an image of someone totally blown up completely shattered.
Wasn't he also occasionally on Captain Kangaroo around the same time as Fat Albert?
If you like reality shows, that's great. But you have to know that they almost all 90% staged. Like, people realize that nobody goes on the Batchelor to find love or a relationship.....right?
I always felt the same thing. I never begrudged anybody that watched shows like Survivor or Bachelor (well.... maybe a little for the Bachelor) but would always say to them "okay, but you do know it isn't real right?"
It's like WWE, if you enjoy it sure, but don't try to pretend it's real, it just makes You look stupid
I think they do. I really think they are that shallow.
Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Gordon Ramsey? He has bodyguards for a reason.
Their crazy to pick fights with him, he appears to be someone that nobody wants to mess with.
People Say That The Bodyguards Were Protecting Joseph Because Gordon Is Black Belt And They Were To Fight Joseph Would Have Been Sent To ER
Very true. 🎉
Gordon’s also a karate black belt fwiw
Why does he need bodyguards? He has a black belt in karate, he can beat their ass any time
Surely it shoud be rumous that turned out to be truth rather than conspiracy theories. But hey, that title don't give you clicks😅
One thing people need to understand about Shonda Rhimes…if you cross her, she will kill off your character.
Yeah, she doesn't play that. At all.
Yeah, I've heard about her being a real “itch” with a b.
who?
@@BluebirdfallingGoogle?
Ellen's show wasn't canceled because of 'backlash' over her being gay. It was canceled because, after the revelation on the show, it completely changed in tone, from a hilarious good time coming close to the level of "I Love Lucy", to a relentless, joyless, treatise, every episode, on the hardships of being gay - which inspired even Elton John to say, "Shut up already. We know you're gay. Be funny."
100% right. That show was sooo hilarious. Then it was like a PBS special over and over.
Yep, just like nowadays it became her personality, she came out, and we said, "duh, everyone knew."
It's funny how after Finding Nemo came out, everything about her past retroactively changed and was given a more favorable rewrite. Usually that kind of thing only happens in comic books, or in whitewashed history.
When someone says they wanna spend more time with their family, you know for a fact they got fired or were forced to quit
The thing that shocked me most was that American Idol is still going. I thought it ended years ago.
Hah right...never watched a single episode.
I am not surprised by "House Hunters". but what I find Hilarious is that the 2 "random homes' aren't even "for sale", I mean, at least put Some effort in
It was true 3:12 that Amos didn't like what JJ was doing to the show, but in another interview to JJ he said that he didn't give a damn and that he wasn't going to let the opportunity to shine in his career as a comedian to please anyone. He was doing it completely on purpose and conscious of what was happening. Originally, his famous catchphrase "Dyno-mite!" was supposed to be said in a more moderate way in the episode where it appeared, but he looked at it and decided that it didn't have any 'impact' that way, and gave a twist to it in his own comedic way, and the rest is history. He became a phenomenon and made the most of it for as long as he could.
Wow good thing Lincoln and his dad didn’t find that out when they were in the show in that one loud house episode lol 0:19
🏆🥇
You forgot about the dude who beat “Press Your Luck”.
That was Michael Larson. He won $110,237 in cash and prizes (a lot for 1984) by memorising the Big Board's light patterns and knowing that two squares always gave out cash and an extra spin. There were times when he stopped too early like when he won a sailboat and a trip to The Bahamas, and the very first occurrence when he hit a Whammy on his very first spin. He didn't pass the four spins he had until he broke six figures with his winnings at $102,851. His second round run at the Big Board ran so long they had to split the episode into two parts.
It wasn't a conspiracy. He simply figured out the flaw in the game and exploited it. It was investigated and he was found to have won fair and square.
@ people thought he was cheating and some thought he conspired with a producer. Turns out, yeah, he just beat the system fair and square
A friend of mine used to do all the work for one of these home renovation home makeover shows. Then when it was all done, the pretty blonde host of the show would come out with her nail bag and hammer and hammer one nail on camera to pretend she did the work.
Whoa, slow down! Patrick Dempsey was a successful actor way before Grey’s Anatomy.
Ellen was canceled because it wasn't funny anymore. It became a half hour sermon. No thanks
I have a theory that AGT production picks the winner. The winners go on their Vegas show, some contests wouldn't be available or fit in Vegas
Yeah, Sarah Jessica Parker’s feud with Kim Cattrall doesn’t surprise me.
Wasn't there a theory about The Price is Right at one time? Not about Barker's Beauties and Bob fooling around, but about the wheel they spin in the 2 segments?
How could you watch Pawn Stars (and anything similar) and not know that it is scripted. The shows need to be entertaining and not just a mess of unplanned footage.
I always rolled my eyes over things like "He just graduated from college, and she is starting working as an administrative assistant. Budget: $750,000" or something ridiculous like that.
To be fair American Idol sucks now. All they show is good ones and all they say are nice things. It has the exact opposite problem and they don't make superstars anymore like they used to.
Oh, Bill Cosby; you didn't have to do that. 🎉
20 isnt "rigging". It's making it hard to limit wins
Or like when the claw machine claw grabs a toy and raises up but when it reaches the top it loosens a slight bit and drops the toy every time 😂
@@BAL9292 no, that's rigging. If you can't win as soon as you drop your quarter in, that's rigged. Technically, even though the course was hard, it was winnable every time.
Fun fact: Rerun from What’s Happening (Fred Barry) worked out a gym in Granite City, Illinois.where my wife and I met.
Seems like Mojo does not know what a conspiracy Theory or a conspiracy to begin with is. But "20 things in TV that were fake" is not as catchy, right?
In each case, multiple people were involved in behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
That pretty much is the definition of "conspiracy."
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist it is not. Your explanation misses the actual conspiratorial part, aka the part where people gather in absolute secret to conspire against something, like the people, the government or anything. To quote Wikipedia:
"A conspiracy, also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it."
Hiding, faking or just not mentioning things does not count as a conspiracy.
Most of this stuffs "Secrecy" falls basically under "NDA", not "conspiracy".
@OssiEastborn So the TV audiences don't count as "the people," then? Good to know. I read the same source. Funny how I came to understand what that page was saying, and somehow you did not. Almost as though you only read the headline and didn't actually follow up by chasing down the sources cited, then go and chase up the definition further in Webster's, the OED, and Cornell's exhaustive legal site. Anyway, as you were. Happy gish galloping.
@AlexGreeneHypnotist wow, so you read so many sources just to be dead wrong. I, if in your place, would seriously doubt my readingcomprehension abilities at that point.
And yes, the Audience are people but not actively involved. They are observers and thus personally unaffected by any of these. Plus, almost nothing here is illegal and almost nothing is done in secrecy amongst only the competitors. So no, not a single of the 20 points counts as a conspiracy, not to mention a conspiracy theory.
If you are still insisting, how about you list every single hard condition for a conspiracy AND an Conspiracy Theory, and then how any of this is fulfilling those conditions. And remember, it has to fit all.
@@OssiEastborn You cannot possibly be contradicting Webster's and Cornell Law. I can only surmise that your contrarian attitude is performative, because your ignorance is like a Jolly Roger flag on an approaching ship - signalling nothing more than an intent to act with malice.
What I don't get is when an actor is proven to be an asshat to work with and repeatedly causes trouble on set then even gets fired for this type of behavior, why are they ever hired again? Who in their right mind purposefully hires a troublemaker? Hollywood seems to reward bad behavior.
Fun fact: the original title of Ellen sitcom was These Friends of Mine.
In high school I was on the Academic Quiz Bowl Team. We played in a tournament where the sponsor/teacher of the other team would cough and clear his throat and sinuses a lot. Anybody who's ever played a card game for cash can see all the tricks to cheat as long as they keep their eyes and ears open.
Ellen - What if I said something shocking to you, that my whole life has been a lie and I’m really…a horrible person.
I suspect Ellen is a closeted heterosexual.
I suspect Ellen is a closeted heterosexual.
Even beyond that, the show went to shit when she came out. I watched that show regularly as a teen but as soon as she came out the quality dropped . What went from clever writing to gay jokes. And it was like the same exact joke done over and over and over and over. There was no depth anymore.
I'm from the UK. But even to me that Ellen reveal was about as shocking as Elton John to be perfectly frank.
@@JB-ot7sdYour comment mirrors Hollywood and Television writing in general. Once a movie or show hooks us with an entertaining character and/or quality storyline, the powers that be beat the dead horse to an unrecognizable pulp 🫠.
I always thought that Survivor was filmed and scripted. So not surprise there's teaching as well. Plus they need to be teaching the contestants else there'd be a lot of allegations including human rights abuses
Nobody even knew who Wendy Williams was when The Cosby Show was on the air.
I remember Patrick Dempsey not from Grey's Anatomy but from The Woo Woo Kid. 😅
There's majot hint to all these show's conspiracy theories during their title credits! When it's revealed that they have something called producers.
Sienfield overrated
William Hung on Arrested Development was great.
You mention Ellen and don't bring up was a supposed nightmare she is to people around her?
0:20 not surprised about Legends of the Hidden Temple
I thought it was common knowledge that all "reality shows" are just as scripted as a prime-time drama.
How about the fact that bob barker used to talk to the female contestants like they were in kindergarten
That might not be the fame thing. That's just some men. Particularly from around the time Bob Barker was born.
I was brought up in a totally female household and was the doted on only son, younger brother AND older brother. (my dad had died in 1975 when I was 10)
My point being, that I grew up the exact opposite. And talk to men and women exactly the same due to being around mostly females. But being an actual male myself.
I grew up not knowing anyone who liked the guy, there were so many stories of him being a handsy creep
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was originally broadcast on ITV in the UK and the production company Celador sold it around the world.
Definitely, The original is never a version.
The funny thing is that a contestant on The Price is Right pulled the same cheat stunt. But he got away with it.
@15:39 was this seriously a mystery to anyone out there?
😂💀
After seeing Pawn Stars,I have an idea for a new pawn shop show. Pawn Polygraph,a pawn shop owner will be hooked up to polygraph machine and reveal the TRUE value of an item.
The saying in the antiques trade was always "it's worth what someone will pay for it.." The same could be said for any business.
Seriously that does sound good! lmao
They would just lie about the lie detector reading!
I worked for a TV Production company for a while. Every show you see on TV was rehearsed before the camera was switched on.
It's interesting that, if it were actually true, reality TV would still be a vapid, stupid, waste of time. But the fact that it's also staged makes it truly one of the worst features of popular culture to ever exist.
Claiming that Grey's Anatomy is what made Patrick Dempsey a star is WILD
You can tell whether a team is going to win on Legends of the Hidden Temple by where they place the object. If it's in one of the last 2 rooms, definitely. If it's in one of the 3-part room, no way they'll win. Remember, once the contestant has the object in their hands, all the doors open up so they can quickly run out.
Also, the Temple Guards disappear as well once they recover the object. So the contestants don't have to worry about running into a temple guard whole heading to the exit.
Leno just wasn't as good a host as Letterman
Ozzy’s Dungeon from VHS 99 hits so much harder after that LOTHT entry smh
And don't forget Double Dare where a contestant was coerced into lying about his/her calcium deficiency by the parents.

The writers for The Simpsons were fortune tellers all along.
As to John Amos, his character's death off screen and the reason behind it was not a secret. I remember reading about in in TV Guide before the episode aired.
lol pawn stars asked my cousin to come in and act crazy for $50
As someone that used to work in tv, it never ceased to amaze us how many people think that everything they see on tv is real. I mean, think about it. Is a production company really going to get all the crew, equipment and presenters together and just hope to happen upon a member of the public who'll consent to be on the show and provide good content? That would be idiotic. To be honest, most of us didn't even realise the public wouldn't realise this stuff until there were a few "scandals" like these.😂
I not surprised about this.
Cake boss. Infact, every show on TLC😂
I still love the Cosby show 100% love. Of course, we show.❤❤❤
The same thing happened with the voice; it should be sued. The winners and the show top models are pre-picked. They had a cute blonde that everyone loved, but the show deliberately picked a black girl.
halfway in a fan comment, they saw the white girl working at a Star Bucks and we were shocked! they ask why she is here and she says flat out she didn't win they wanted a black girl to win and she was done with modeling because of racism! the last five episodes even showed the host being nice as hell to all the black girls and rude to all the other who were voted off!
Something with THE VOICE: The winner is picked by the producer, not the fans. It shows for one second at the end of the credits to make it legal-wtf!
To be fair, they didn't kill off James Evans via letter. Those were telegrams. I'll leave it to you younguns to look up what a telegram is. 😊
Most actors playing teenagers are middle aged?!

Ed Marinaro's character on Hill Street Blues was abruptly shot and sent to the hospital in season 2. His agent told him to accept a cheaper contract or his character would die.
#16 British/Millionaire - the crew recognized what was going on while filming but they couldn't stop the show due to scheduling and they didn't pay him because they knew before he left that day that he had cheated and who was helping.
Agree and it took the crew a long time to figure out the “coughing” was part of it. I think the participants had been to previous shows and the lady had a “cough” in it so the show producers weren’t suspicious!
Here to see the list
The animated show Total Drama Island felt like a parody of Survivor

Bet that apple in the thumbnail was laced🧐
4:57 LMAO it never was a conspiracy or hidden. After the show took off the producers laid the whole thing out in an interview, starting with all TV shows are scripted as in they need to be organized for production, or else you get the chaos of season 1, which drove them nuts filming in the shop. They had to stop filming in the shop because too many people were showing up just to get on TV, and it was screwing up business closing down to film. SO by season 2 or 3 they built a sperate studio duplicate of the shop, the store workers would point the wannabes and items they thought would make good TV to the producers who vet them all,. then they are sent off and sked to return to the studio they built in the back to film the negotiation. The experts get notice of the item so they can research if needed, the producers research the history if needed, writers write the history lessons the fans liked so much if needed, they know their stuff in their areas, the experts do not get paid, they do it to promote their own businesses, they all show up to film, and tehy grab actual customers from the shop who sign releases to be extras on camera. The funny little skits between the four main are written (our guy's aren't actors who can adlib) the Old man was asked to be grumpy (though not a big stretch), Chum because of his appurtenance was asked to be the comic relief screwup, with scripted antics. You can't have a show with no relatable characters and interactions. And the most loveable are the Archie Bunker's and The Jerry Lewis types. No I didn't watch the show. But I did read the interview. 😁
Wow I haven’t been on this in years and I’m already hearing about them exposing T10 BS!😅❤
