Reality TV

Reality TV is a genre of television programming that documents unscripted real-life situations, often featuring ordinary people rather than professional actors. It encompasses a variety of formats, including competition shows, talent contests, dating and relationship narratives, and lifestyle showcases. Reality TV aims to entertain its audience by presenting raw, unscripted moments and the interactions between participants, often emphasizing drama, conflict, and emotional engagement. The genre gained significant popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, leading to an increase in the number of reality-based shows across various networks.
