Where Are All The Reality Shows?
Is it me or does there seem to be less Reality TV shows on the major networks this fall. I was flipping through my DVR and I do not have that many reality shows on there. I have The Biggest Loser, Survivor, and The Amazing Race. Three shows, that is it and that is terrible. I realize that summer is definitely the prime season for reality shows but I feel like this fall season the major networks have gone back to comedies and dramas. Now I am not saying that is all that bad, I am a huge fan of all types of television. I just feel like I need some more reality shows. The question is, are they out there? I really think that in general the major networks produced less reality shows this fall than in the past. Does this mean that Reality TV has run its course? Or it is only good enough for the major networks to produce in the summer because they are cheap and easy to make? Yes there are still some reality shows on the cable networks such as VH1, MTV, or even Bravo but I feel like those networks are different. They have basically built themselves as networks for being known for having mostly reality shows. Now that is not a bad thing these networks are hugely successful. My main issue of this blog is that it seems the major networks have scaled back on their reality programming. Other than Stylista appearing on The CW next week, I can’t think of another new reality show on a major network. It seems that the reality shows this fall are returning shows. Interesting huh? Anyway that is my thought for today. Let me know what you think?
