Reality Tv Shows...

Reality television is a genre of television programming which presents supposedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people instead of professional actors. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000. Most documentaries, and other contents such as the news and sports, are viewed as more legitimate than recent reality shows offering little more than wild theatrics. I can say that I to once was a big fan of such reality shows such as the Real World, The Mole, and Road Rules, but as time has gone on, I slowly started losing interest in any of the supposed reality television hype. Mainly because I believe most of them don't make a bit of sense and most only involve a bunch of college aged kids bickering. And particularly didn't care for ones that were basically set up for couples to cheat on eachother. In which I am pretty sure in the everyday jest of things normal couples wouldn't put themselves into that sort of situation. I do however understand that most of it is just for entertainment purposes, but why call it "reality" if the show doesn't really involve much that has to with reality?
