Reality TV -good for your health?

I am wondering why I have such an affinity for watching reality programs. All in all, reality TV is devoid of bloodshed, violence, crime and other ills that plague cinematics and television programs. I feel healthier when I watch, reality TV, TV land, animal planet, discovery, PBS the old movies and the classics, and as little news as possible. Does anyone else finds this affects mood?

1. Reality tv is pretty entertaining for the most part, you laugh you feel better
2. I have very little drama in my life... 4 children, seven katz and a husband in Medical School. I get SOOOO irritated at most reality shows, I just want to yank them bald and tell them to grow up, get over it and get down the road. However, I love Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, Animal Cops/Heroes, Meerkat Manor and the like... those are actually reality shows, the others are just soap operas disguised as reality shows. For me, the shows I watch are very good for me, Iaugh and root for the guys, and just adore Mike Rowe. So for me, it does affect my mood when I watch them.
3. Reality TV lifts my mood because most of the time the people on the shows are so ridiculously insane or stupid that they make me feel better about myself :)
