Hahaha! Watching from a "conflict resolution" point of view!
If that is true, then these shows are contributing to society as an educational visual aid or simulation (as most is scripted).
Unfortunately, this contradicts your aforementioned opinion as you were watching to enhance your quasi-therapeutic skill set and it now becomes a direct benefit to YOU.
As these "actors" are being paid and paying taxes, I see it benefiting both society and the participants . . . not to mention all involved with the show, employed to ensure your continuing education.
