Duck Dynasty was the last big hit though.

I wish Reality TV would be over and we could get back to real TV shows. Reality has taken over 'In My Opinion'. With that said, it won't happen. They will continue to run Reality into the ground with anything they can come up with.

To quote David Hyde Pierce "I think reality shows are crap." I'm glad to hear this news if it's true. Bring back real TV with people who make their living entertaining people.

I do know I am completely and totally fed-up with the Talent Shows.

I'm not shedding a tear. You know reality tv, mainly Survivor, because it was one of the first ones, killed soap operas, game shows, sitcoms and anything else. The entire landscape of tv scheduling and how its done changed because of Reality TV.

i wouldn't have minded reality TV - had it meant we'd still get more traditional multi-cam sitcoms with an audience laughter track on the 4 main networks. but that is not the case today and in the last 10 years or so.

i want the US TV landscape to be like it was during the 1990s period, when the big 4 had an abundance of sitcom shows. even though some of them weren't great.

this reminds me of the tabloid talk show era of the 1990's, people had a backlash against the genre as well, because of the trashiness

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabloid_talk_show

trashy reality got replaced by a universally appealing reality show such as duck dynasty.

actually the real world was the very first one and it was the beginning of the end of television as we know it.

Talent shows aren't reality shows. Talent shows are a genre in themselves.

With the exception of Xena, Frasier and Seinfeld, the 90's were the worst years for TV.
