Did You Know? (40 Across) The so-called "reality" television
shows have seen a giant leap in popularity over the past few years, with American Idol consistently topping the Nielsen Ratings. Other "reality" shows that have garnered a large
audience include Survivor, Dancing With The Stars, and
Fear Factor, among others. Reality shows supposedly have no script and
no professional actors, but instead use ordinary people, sometimes in
extraordinary situations. Whether you watch them or not, this type of program is
firmly established in the television broadcast lineup and many are quickly
becoming a part of American culture.
