Reality TV

Reality TV, or reality television, is a genre of television programming that presents unscripted, authentic situations and real-life experiences, typically featuring ordinary people rather than professional actors. These shows often focus on personal stories, competitions, or social interactions, and they aim to entertain viewers by showcasing genuine human emotions, conflicts, and relationships.

Reality TV can include various formats, such as talent competitions, dating shows, lifestyle programs, and documentary-style series. The appeal of reality TV often lies in its relatability and the voyeuristic experience of watching real people navigate life’s challenges and triumphs. It has gained significant popularity since the late 1990s and early 2000s, reshaping television programming and influencing popular culture.
