First Reality Show
In The Media Student's Book, for chapter thirteen it explains documentary and reality tv. One section I found interesting was the beginning of dramatic reality shows. In 1992, MTV's Real World was released, "Based off documentaries such as American Family". (Page 471) The page later explains that the success of the European Big Brother and then Survivor made the format a dominant one on television.

Reality tv is at its all time high. I mean big brother is going into it's like 12th season, and I still don't understand the concept of the show other then cameras on you 24-7. Every network has at least 1 reality series. Its almost as if networks can't survive anymore if they don't have a reality show.
