Reality TV

Kurt and I were just talking about reality TV.  How many are on the air, etc.  Kurt was saying how he couldn't believe how many there are.  Here are a few of them:

• Yes to the Dress
• Ice Road Truckers
• Intervention
• Deadliest Catch
• Wife Swap
• All the 'wives' shows
• Kate plus 8
• 19 Kids and Counting

There are many MANY more!


I think part of it is because they are comparatively cheap to make.  No huge star salaries [unless the people become popular, i.e. Kate plus 8], no scripts, etc.


What are your views on this subject?
