TV networks are dying. The death throes of religion give us jihads. The death throes of television give us reality shows.

For better or worse, in the 21st century, reality shows are the variety show.

I hate reality shows that are not reality.

And the consumer doesn't care. They don't watch networks, they watch TV shows.

Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.

I preferred MTV as it used to be when it was about the music - I don't like it that now they just have reality shows. Reality TV rots people's brains.
