Reality TV

when did it become more happening than people going out to Hollywood&staring in Tv shows being created by writers? I mean how many shows about make-overs,swapping enviroments,job related,entertainment,etc... shows can possibly be done? it seems to be that every channel is on the bandwagon with no slowing down in sight.I remember when MTV started out with the 'real world"&It had some charms to it,but after a while it got predictable,but who knew it would be the norm of what was to come?Reality Tv is like that car wreck:we all pass by but have to take a peak. not many of these shows are worth my time personally but I also understand the appeal.everybody has to get there 15 minutes of fame.we have more channels these days to select from,but Reality TV is poping up on almost all the channels.
