  Television Hall of Fame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Television Academy Hall of Fame was founded by a former president of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the late John H. Mitchell, to honor individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to television.
In the words of the selection committee, the Hall of Fame is for "persons who have made outstanding contributions in the arts, sciences or management of television, based upon either cumulative contributions and achievements or a singular contribution or achievement." Mitchell remained the chair of the Hall of Fame until his death in January 1988.
The Television Hall of Fame does not have a museum open to the public like the Country Music Hall of Fame or Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame or other such "halls of fame" and does not appear to have plans for one in the near future.

 Blogcritics.org: The Paradox of Reality Television Fame
Television, you see, is really a completely different animal than any other medium through which fame - and its individual archetypes of people - can be channeled.
Thus, the predicament that television (or, really, the way society insists on television content being structured) creates is that it both becomes the center of our archetypes for all people and it injects idealism and exclusion into the same mix.
Where fame used to be reserved for idealized personae, it's quickly moving down to the proverbial "normal people" — for better or worse.

 THE VN/VO | The Paradox of Reality Television Fame | the debate on the meaning of reality television seems to be stuck ...
Reality television, supposedly, holds that golden promise that our culture has yearned for eternally: a system where any common person can become famous for doing nothing extraordinary.
Ok, an important caveat: there has always been a camp of observers and critics who obsess over the coloration between an individual's fame and their talent- the presumption being that the two should somehow match.
After having my humble home re-designed for television, I realized the deeper meaning of a new trend in television: where the theme of voyeurism has been replaced by that of personal re-birth.

 » The Paradox of Reality Television Fame
The debate on the meaning of reality television seems to be stuck on the “individual,” often heralded (or chastised) for bringing “fame” to the less idealized persona.
However, the critics have got the actual revolution wrong.
What it has really done is made famous, and bastardized somewhat, the “situation.” This is a dramatic difference from nearly every other pop culture phenomenon, where the “individual” is the center of what we consider fame.
