Reality TV (thing)

Reality shows aren't just those shows where people are after a sum of money or fame. Some shows dive into the personal lives of the famous. The one show that stands out in my mind is MTV's The Real World. I think that was the forerunner to most of the reality shows that are on TV these days.

Here is a listing of past or present reality style shows in no particular order:

Competitive Shows

• Road Rules
• Big Brother
• Temptation Island
• Survivor
• Amazing Race
• American Idol
• Meet My Folks
• The Bachelor
• Fear

Non-competitive Shows

• The Osbournes
• The Anna Nicole Show
• The Real World
• Sorority Life
• A Dating Story
• A Wedding Story
• A Baby Story

I didn't put Fear Factor or Dog Eat Dog on this list since they seem more like game shows than anything else. Out of the above list, I enjoyed The Osbournes the most. It's nice to see that Ozzy is an actual person, and not some rock god who bites the heads off of bats.
