i love reality television that is a genre of tv programming that documents supposedly unscripted real life situations
It's quite an interesting branch of television, do you know what the first reality tv show was?
well an early example of the genre was the 1991 dutch series Nummer 28 which was the first show to bring together strangers and record their interactions
That's fascinating, I've never heard of it. Have you heard of the famous show The Real World?
oh yes, that show aired from 1992 to 2013, it is a reality television series on MTV originally produced by Mary-Ellis
Yes it's a great show, can you tell me anything else about reality television?
well it differs from documentary television in that the focus tends to be on drama, personal conflict and entertainment rather than educating viewers.
That makes sense, it's definitely quite different from a documentary. Any other cool facts you can tell me?
Reality TV exploded in the 1990s and early 2000s with the global success of the series Survior and Idols 
Oh yeah, I forgot all about Survivor, it's a really interesting show, thanks for reminding me.
