	Reality television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reality television is a genre of television programming which presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features "ordinary" people over professional actors.
		Reality television as it is currently understood, though, can be traced directly to several television shows that began in the late 1980s and 1990s.
		In many reality television shows, the viewer and the camera are passive observers following people going about their daily personal and professional activities; this style of filming is often referred to as "fly on the wall" or cinéma vérité.

		Another type of reality TV is the so-called "reality game shows", in which participants are filmed on a nearly-constant basis in an enclosed environment while competing to win a prize.
		One exception may be reality shows which revolve around sports: due to the participants being atheletes who are attempting to establish their own name in the same sport in real life, the setting of such shows tends to be realistic and confrontational.
		Reality television has attracted criticism from those who feel that the pervasiveness of the genre on network television has come at the cost of scripted programming.

	Reality Television: Does Anything Go?
		The genre known as "reality television" follows the daily, "real" experiences of average people in more or less contrived settings ranging from the mundane (summer camp) to the adventurous (life on a desert island).
		Reality television can also violate the rights of those who are being watched without their consent.
		Reality television is a nasty, mean, mean-spirited medium which exploits the humiliation and disappointments that occur in "average" people.

		Reality Television (U.S) "Reality television" is a label that encompasses a wide range of non-fiction formats including gamedocs, makeover programs, talent contests, docusoaps, dating shows, court programs, tabloid newsmagazine shows, and reality-based sitcoms.
		Like the wave of reality in the 1980s, the proliferation of reality in the early 2000s was driven, in part, by financial concerns and the threat of more strikes by writers and actors.
		Reality TV has become a decidedly global phenomenon that has involved a reversal of the usual flow of programming across international borders.

	Reality Television Creates Cadre of Negative Stereotypical Idols
		So-called 'reality' television, whether wittingly or unwittingly, is becoming more and more bizarre (thus, warping the very definition of reality in the minds of those that watch it).
		And people on television are the best people because they are famous and famous people are best: therefore we should aspire to that way of behaving.
		But the reality of “reality television” is not the reality of the present, it is the reality of the future.

	Reality Television
		Reality television is a genre of television programming in which the fortunes of "real life" people (as opposed to actors, or fictional characters) are followed.
		Reality television takes ordinary people, sets them up in extraordinary situations on a world stage with other similarly commonplace individuals, and makes them the focus of a nation’s attention on, for example, an hour every Tuesday.
		In conclusion, I will say that the concept of reality television has several distinct flaws, both in its conception and popularity and in what it entails for our attitudes in society as a whole.

		Reality-based television is an amorphous collection of syndicated thematic shows and one-time episodes that have one unifying basis: they rely, in some fashion, on real or true events.

		Television talk shows also have elements of "reality" within them, as they often feature individuals and families presenting their problems to a host and studio audience.

	The Coming Commercialization of Virtual Reality Television
		Thus, computational effort in simulated reality can be conserved without significant loss in perceptual realism by rendering the surfaces of assembling objects in less detail than the surfaces of stationery objects.
		With virtual reality and a better haptic interface, humans may use simulated reality: to manipulate three-dimensional models of micro-scale materials or biologic configurations; to assemble computers; to sculpt “virtual clay” into forms for aesthetic or functional purposes; and for most alternative design products and services.
		Virtual reality is an extremely useful interface for telerobotics (human operation of a robot from a distance).

		Reality shows aren't appealing to networks in the long term because they don't form lasting relationships with viewers the way a scripted show can, Levin said.
		Reality will also be well-represented, with five networks bowing seven different entries: ABC's "The Bachelorette" and "Celebrity Mole," Fox's "Joe Millionaire," CBS' "Star Search Live," WB's "High School Reunion" and "The Surreal Life" and Bravo's "Cirque du Soleil: Fire Within." Reality has taken its place alongside sitcoms and dramas as a full-fledged TV genre.

		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.
		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.
		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.

		TERENCE SMITH: As the old saying goes, "imagine you are stuck on a desert island." In the 1960's television version of this scenario, Gilligan and his cohorts lived a carefree existence on their piece of paradise.
		I mean, reality would be a show like "Cops," where a policeman is arresting a suspect, there happens to be a camera crew along with, so the cop would do the same job with or without the camera.
		Clearly, there's no real tribal council, no one's being thrown to the wolves, and I think it would be pretty silly to think that "Survivor" is actual news.

		The first, more popular, reality program of the moment is called "Survivor." It is set on an island off the coast of Malaysia where two teams of Americans, carefully chosen by studio executives, have been left with basic supplies to do the best that they can.
		One important element of the program is that the teams compete during each episode to win a contest of some sort: the one time I watched the show, they had to eat live grubs, which I can assure you is not an easy task for Americans to do.
		The second, much less popular, reality program of the moment is called "1900 House." It's a British import and is airing on PBS, the Public Broadcasting System (which is, on the whole, more educational than the for-profit networks).
