New crop of reality shows

reality shows are the latest trend in TV and I for one thought they wouldnt last. I was wrong!! I think for awhile there they were getting out of hand with the gameshow type crap but I have been very impressed with the last couple of years ideas for shows that have come up. First of all kudos to the educational channels (Discovery, TLC, A & E etc....even Bravo)
They have really found items of interests to base these shows on. Here are some obvious favorites, tell me what you think of these and if you have any to add.

Miami Ink (awesome coverage of the workings behind a tattoo, way more technically based)

Inked (not as good as M I, way too much drama, not enough tattoos)

Biker build off (one of the best shows I have ever seen)

Rollergirls (new, but started off boring, has potential though)

Project Runway (it is a sinfull delight, I cant get enough of this show, my wife says it's going to turn me into a fag......I hope not)

Blow out (Jonathan Anton is so egotistical, you love to hate the dude)

Wife swap / trading spouses (good but seems scripted sometimes, still fun to watch though)

SWAT (awesome show, COPS to the next level, and cool for you Texas dudes)

I know theres more, but this will do for now. This is my excitement since becoming a dad, these shows are the me time I like to spend

I wanna check out RollerGirls, but I havent yet.

My favorite reality shows are usually the pretty low brow ones.

Survivor
Biggest Loser
The Apprentice
Fear Factor
Sureal Life
Meet the Hogans
Celebrity Fit Club
Joe Shmo Show
Love Cruise

i can't watch any of them. I guess I was into the Real World the first 2 or 3 seasons, but that's about it. I kind of watched The Apprentice that was just on, but that was mainly because my wife watches it and I always seemed to be in the room when it was on.
I remember everyone saying how great American Chopper was, so I watched that a few times, but every episode was the same and I got bored of it.
I've never seen an episode of Survivor, Surreal Life or any of the other ones. I would rather cacth a rerun of Seinfeld that I've seen 100 times over that crap.

How can you call a show "Survivor" if no-one dies?

Dog the bounty hunter on A&E. What a wardrobe! Ha.

Dog is cool. I watch that from time to time. The Mrs. likes Inked, and Ive become fond of it as well. We've never seen Miami Ink though. Maybe I'll suggest it. American Chopper is funny so we watch it from time to time. That's all I can think of now.

Dog rules, good call
