[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 401281, member: 57984"] Yes, the reality shows -- which just weren't ever my style -- were also a response to the fact that cable-TV was exploding (along with home video and the Internet) and there were now countless formats and venues, the audience divided and diminished as a result of all the stations and choices, and the reality shows were cheap to produce. For those reasons, I'm not sure we'll ever emerge from the swill. They still need a genre which is (usually) inexpensive, absurdly hyperbolic, and fairly easy to make. So, the reality shows and the performance competition shows continue to rule, and likely will for a long time. [/QUOTE]
