Reality TV is a television genre where individuals interact, as their real selves, in situations believed to be dramatic enough to be entertaining, without a script.[1][2]
In 2001, after noting that scholars find reality TV hard to define, George Bagley offered the following definition in the Journal of Film and Video[1][2]:
Media commentator Kat Sweet, in Poptonic, agrees that Reality TV is hard to define, notes that most observers do not include traditional game shows, like Jeopardy!.[3] She argued that, while the 1990s saw an explosion of reality TV shows, the very first show was Candid Camera, a show where the reaction of ordinary people was recorded by hidden cameras, while they were tricked by visual pranks.
