They like reality TV shows because it's so darn cheap to produce. Compare this with a Sitcom. No need to hire specific writers, sets, props, etc. Most importantly, no need to hire the talent to be on the show. That's why there are so many of these shows, because it is so cost effective for it to be produced. Plus for some reason, people love the drama from some of these shows, that they can't help but soak it in. Personally, I'm past that point of drama and would rather watch older syndicated shows or something sports. So in the producer eyes, it's booming. In the eye of the consumer, it is a bust, but you'd be surprised how many people still tune in to see some of these shows. :roll:
