Reality?

It seems that reality TV has had a take over of television. It is the only thing to watch right now if you do not want to watch re-runs. The writer's strike cost the L.A. economy $2.5 billion. I wonder how big of an impact that is going to have on television overall. What changes are going to be made to the shows that come on. Of the shows in ABC's primetime line-up 12 of them are reality shows. The reality shows are getting more and more ridiculous. The situations more and more bizzare. A natural consequence of the strike is more reality programming. I am sure I am not alone in being tired of reality programming. I wonder how big of an impact it will have overall. Will people change their viewing habits. Will it costs the networks even more? It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.
