Reality Television

Reality television has become a huge part of our culture here in America. There are hundreds of shows already and it seems as if another is popping up every day. It seems like people can make a show out of anything these days! Im not sure that these shows really have any affect on people but I can definitely see how a lot of people can relate to them. With as many different shows that are out there it isnt hard for someone to find a show about something that interests them. The reason i think these shows are so popular is because people love watching other people in a 'natural' setting. The differences people have, for some reason are very interesting to us as Americans and it is something we love to watch. These reality producers often look for the strangest people that they can find to fill spots on their show just to make good television. People get entertainment out of watching people make fools out of themselves on national television and until that changes reality television is here to stay!
