I just wanted to correct you. Reality television really started with PBS and The American Family. So you may not want to associate the downfall of society with your fellow public broadcasters.
Those reality shows are absolutely horrendous. Reality shows are actually a lesson for parents, and I hope parents are watching those shows so they can learn how to raise children properly because those kids are absolutely outrageous. There's no morals and no values to be learned from anything there.
