I don't consider most reality show reality... how real can they be when people are manipulated by the producers every step of the way? Though right now the kids have me addicted to MTV's 70s House... what a hoot watching those spoiled kids make fools of themselves!

As for show on TLC and such - those are more like what we used to call documentaries... where we take an in depth look into how someone works and what they do, etc. These are more real than any reality TV show ever will be. I love TLC, the History channel, Discovery Health, etc. I often forgo sitcoms and such to watch a dicumentary on one of those channels. Last night it was a show about a woman who lost 300 pounds - how amazing!
