The surreal Reality

Every channel has them, and every channel needs them. Their successes and failures are on display for all to see. Now we are going to see even more of them whether we want to or not. Kim Kardashian and other reality show stars have been filling prime-time TV slots for the past decade, and according to adweek.com, will take up 1/3 of fall programming. Reality shows portray people in everyday life and all that which it entails, as if we couldn’t look out the window and observe the same things happening. However, most reality shows incorporate a loosely based script to help make everyday life seem a little more exciting. If only we all used a script everyday to make our jokes a little bit funnier and our heartaches to hurt a little bit more.
