EDTV and The Truman Show did not lead to reality TV. We've had Cops for like 15 years now.
The best reality TV show was The Joe Shmoe Show and it was completely fake and staged with actors except for one guy who that it was all real. Oh man that was fucking hilarious.
I saw Joe Shmoe 2 were they had a guy and a Girl , The blond chick actually figured out it was fake early in the season and they had to replace her with another chick ! If your Canadian doesnt get more obvious with John Torrence as the "gotta be gay guy" I always wonderd what happend to that street sense guy ! They used his Transvestite picture from a long time ago on his old tv show.
That show really demonstrates how easy it is to fake a scripted show and actually still fool someone into believing it, Shmoe is so absurd yet a few contestants still fall for it regardless.
It would be funny if they either did a donald trump paraody or a Trading Spouses were the guy ends up with dog eating chinese people.
