| In your opinion, how "true" is Tru Tv? (Posted on 10/9/12 at 1:09 am)
Most of the stuff in the afternoon that I get to catch is real, old cops episodes, wildest videos, etc. The stuff at night drives me nuts. Operation Repo, Lizard Lick towing or whatever it's called, I hate these shows. I can't see every person, on every call for a tow, blowing their top and losing their crap and a big confrontation ensues. It's every damn call. It seems really rehearsed or something. The only other show that interests me on there is the Impractical Jokers show. That's spur of the moment stuff. Am I missing something? I'm really asking. Are these towing shows for real or is it sort of a reenactment about what happened in these companies?

I assume it's all made up. I do love me some police chases, though.

I dont need an opinion. Everyone knows these things are fake Hell, they even say that they are fake before the show starts

It is all exaggerated on purpose. None of these freak outs are real.

I like the cops shows but these towing shows are pretty ridiculous.

It's all fake. The operation repo is scripted. Who goes to repo a car and an all out midget clown riot ensues?

I think this is 100% real hahah I agree these shows are awful, but I guess people continue to watch them as it seems a new one pops up weekly.
