a few of the pranks were funny but the show got stale real quick.

I'm not a fan of reality TV shows and I sure as hell don't go out of my way to watch them, but Punk'd is one of the few shows where if its on TV I'll watch it. What I like about it, is that we really see celebrities in their true colours as their stripped off of their public facades and have to deal with situations without the entourages, but on their own. I've seen some celebrities on this show go out of their way by helping people who they see as just the general public - Joss Stone and Serena Williams for one and then we get to see the downright nasty and arrogant ones like Tyra Banks and Usher who were just plain rude. It makes you think even though these people are human how many of them actually have a humane side to them and they either redeem themselves or get caught out when they think the cameras have stopped rolling.
