Yet another Fox reality show where contestants are put through Boot Camp by real military officers/non-coms. I'm afraid of a Full Metal Jacket scenario, to be truthful, (Vincent D'Onofrio's character, in particular).

lol, I was just going to post that I wasn't. I'm boycotting this show along with other reality shows for my buddy, guyot. :D

(edited to add that I'm not boycotting Survivor, The Mole, or COPS)

I've never watched a (fixed) "reality" show in my life and I don't intend on starting.

cineman 03-14-01 07:19 AM

NO SIR!

FiveO 03-14-01 09:07 AM

Only caught a few episodes of The Mole...

Not watching Boot Camp and refuse to watch Survivor.

Of course an occasional COPS episode is always nice :)

SirPablo 03-14-01 01:21 PM

I've seen 5 mins of Survivor, I thought it was gay. Never watched it since. DOn't watch any of that other crappy reality shows either. I'd rather stare at the pretty wall... :rolleyes:

Trelach24 03-14-01 01:59 PM

Yes, I am a sucker for these type of shows.

adamblast 03-14-01 02:09 PM

If by gay, you mean crappy, than your post is quite gay, SirPablo. Using the term as a general insult may be common among schoolage kids (thanks, South Park) but that doesn't make it alright.

edytwinky 03-14-01 02:54 PM

no

Jabx 03-14-01 06:41 PM

Ok I admit it...

I'll watch every episode.

I'm not even ashamed to admit I watched every episode of Temptation Island

Dude, that is sooooo gay. J/k, I agree.

fourwalker 03-15-01 08:11 AM

yes, there's some hot chick in it and I want to see her crawl through mud ;)

The Antipodean 03-15-01 10:40 AM

No. Besides it being another in the stupid reality show trend I find it a little offensive that they're taking what our servicemen do as a matter of course and making it into a TV show. I'm far from some big patriotic chest-beater but being in a REAL boot camp is pretty damned tough and I have respect for those who do it WITHOUT the goal of being on some lame TV show and being famous; to turn those experiences into another TV show is highly disrespectful to our people in uniform I think and I imagine if any of them watch it they'll either be pretty darned insulted or laughing their heads off at the candy-arsed morons on it.

adamblast 03-15-01 10:59 AM

Dunno if I'll watch it, but I kinda agree with Lester on this one.

I have no problem with reality shows, and god knows I watch my share of crap. But there's something toxic about taking military service and turning it into just another reality show gimmick.

Maybe it's just that it trivializes the whole thing and makes it seem stupid, rather than damn serious. Does seem like an insult to the folks who've gone thru it for real.

Foole 03-16-01 10:00 PM

I went through Navy RTC 11 years ago...I'm kinda curious to see how Fox will commercialize/sensationalize/trivialize it...Fox is on my sh|t list after that Moon Landings Faked show...:mad:


Gizmo 03-17-01 02:48 PM

No way. Couldn't careless about this series.

DarthMaul420 03-18-01 04:37 PM

No ... the more people watch these things and drive up the ratings, the more shows like this we'll see!

Randy Talbot 03-18-01 09:37 PM

Yes, I will be watching Boot Camp. Looking at the information at http://www.fox.com/bootcamp it looks like it may be good.

SnoopDogg 03-18-01 11:39 PM

I will.

matchpenalty 03-19-01 05:08 PM

If nothing else is on, maybe. Otherwise NO.
