Reality tv shows is a genre of  television programming which presents unscripted dramatic situations and documents actual events. It covers a wide range of programming formats, from game or quiz shows  to surveillance productions. They portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality.  Who can make more money in the shortest time? Who can overcome the fear of height?  Who can swim faster or can lose more weight? Who can gorge a bucket full of disgusting insects?

There are many of such productions on television generating hefty revenues for the networks. This new genre is cost effective and popular, the two features Entertainment corporations like best.  People do anything for money specially if it is on television. There is no limit of what the show producers can make people do. What motivates people is insatiable greed. Millions sign up to enter the competitions, and a few lucky ones get in and a handful of participants become rich and famous. That is a win-win proposition for both parties.

Since there are so many popular reality shows, the producers relentlessly look for new ideas. They travel around the world for inspirations and crave for ingenious ideas.

To me it doesn’t matter what the idea is as long as I can get millions of people to watch it. The competition is tough, so It  must be innovative to glue millions to their TV sets on prime time.

One early morning on my way to work, I happened to notice a homeless man sleeping on the sidewalk, a scene I’d witnessed thousands of times but this one inspired me. Why not reverse the course of all reality shows. Why not swim against the flow and instead of promoting greed, encourage compassion and bring the humanity in people for a change. I wondered, a reality show that promotes generosity and selflessness instead of greed and voracity. A concept like could draw millions of viewers and secure our network’s position as the leader in the industry.

If you’ve looked at television sets at any of the big electronics retailers in the United States lately, you know that digital TV, or DTV, is a big deal right now. Most stores have whole areas devoted to digital TV sets. You’re also hearing a lot about four other topics:

• HDTV and HDTV broadcasts
• Digital satellite services
• Digital cable
• DVDs and DVD players

Unless you are among the people in the United States who have purchased a DTV set, what you have in your living room is a normal analog TV that seems to be working just fine despite all the hype. ­ Most people, faced with this level of product proliferation, can only ask, “What the heck is going on here?!”

On June 12, 2009, television stations in the United States completed the transition from analog to digital broadcasting. Consumers receiving local television signals over analog antennas now must use converter boxes to receive programming on their TVs. This deadline was pushed back several times in the last few years because of both broadcasters’ and consumers’ inability to meet the FCC’s criteria for a successful transition to digital broadcasting.

The change was last scheduled to take place on Feb. 17, 2009, but was pushed back one final time to allow more people to purchase new TVs or converter boxes to allow them to make the transition. Some stations, however, switched to digital broadcasting in February 2009 anyhow because they’d already contracted time to broadcast on digital transmitters and staying analog would require a costly budgetary adjustment.
