The future of reality television
Everyone loves reality television right? American Idol, Survivor, Bad Girls Club, even the Housewives of wherever and the rest of their ilk continue to dominate the programming of virtually every network on television today. But you know that at some point soon (which will not be soon enough for me) there will come a ratings slump. Then what will the television execs do?
Movies have already looked at the craze for "reality" television. They have pondered the pro's and con's of the idea. They have considered the ineviable decline in interest and the subsequent efforts to spice up the programs to keep the eyeballs on theiur shows. The ultimate result, according to movies, is
or maybe an idea from 1975
Still not quite right?
I know. Not possible. That's just sci-fi movie fantasy. It could never happen.
Except that in France, 64 people on a "reality" television show gave a 'contestant' electric shocks until he 'died'.
Are you sure we are still that far away from the movies?
