Reality television, dominating the tube right now, is about the real antics of real people in a real environment. It also shows people getting insulted, humbled or even humiliated. However, the irony or misnomer is that reality shows are clearly unreal like an unscripted drama and it is more like sports. Reality shows are cheap to produce but it is very popular among viewers as people are voyeurs. Thus, it erases the boundaries between the public & private and can still be genuinely surprised. Reality shows are not only famous for its great and new way of telling a story but also for its ideas that grab us in some fundamental place. Reality shows are profitable as they will always have a place on television. Nevertheless, it prospects are dim as producers will soon run out of ideas and viewers will get bored eventually. Thus, this ruins the reputation of network and it faces competition from other forms of programming networks.
