Reality TV Shows

I remember back when reality TV shows were first getting their start. Though I don’t know which shows were first, I remember one of the first I ever saw was the Real World on MTV. Years later, a friend of mine would tell me that Real World was not as real as they wanted you to think. Many of the people on the show were indeed actors, and much of what was on the show was staged. I don’t know if there is any truth to what she told me, but quite honestly, nothing would surprise me.



Since then it seems that hundreds of reality TV shows have come and gone. While I enjoyed the first season of Survivor, I did not watch any of the following years. The same might be said for American Idol. I enjoyed the first season very much, but only watched the following seasons when I felt like it. Though these were two of the better reality TV shows, I found that I can’t stick with them for very long. It’s not that they were bad shows, it was just that I was worn out by all of the reality TV shows on every station everywhere.
