REALITY SHOW POST # 8

Reality TV is a genre that seems to be on the verge of taking over every other kind of televsion show. One reality television show i watch occationally is CSI. It basically a crime drama that shares story lines centered on muder mysterys, and investigators who solve it. These programs combine a fictional story line with realistic views into the world of a forensic scientist. It states in Signs of Life, "A second source for the interest in reality-oriented crime dramas can probably be found in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks." I agree with this statement also. Americans became aware of the people who are responsible for maintaining national security. Television crime shows show their audience basically that ordinary people like them are working to keep track of the bad guys, and it really makes us feel more secure.
