Summary (reality Tv)

Reality television, dominating the tube right now, is about the …
real antics of real people. There has always been a place for reality shows on television. Some reality shows feature people getting insulted, humbled or even humiliated. Reality shows are cheap to produce, and are very profitable. Reality shows are popular as we are voyeurs. It erases the boundaries between the public and the private. Reality shows can still genuinely surprise. Reality television is also a great way of storytelling. It is popular due to producers latching onto ideas that grab us in some fundamental place. However, it is manifestly unreal. Reality shows are unscripted drama, like sports. However, as time goes by, producers run out of fresh ideas and the views get bored. A lot of different shows appeal different tastes, thus there is a growing competition in the different genres that are made available to people.
