But it was pretty fascinating when it started, very unique.
Or can anyone remember the one that started all the reality shows in the world-Sylvania Waters !
Revolutionary and an idea conceived by a BBC producer-to follow the lives of an horrendous Aussie family for a year. Compelling.
Reality TV's first success was actually MTV's "The Real World." You could go even further back to the 70's with BBC's The Family. Not reality TV more "fly on the wall."

Sort of like smoking?
More like crystal meth.

I suppose the '7 Up' etc shows were really reality shows at their most amazing..the idea of following a bunch of kids their entire lives !!

I vaguely remember sylvania waters, however I think that there was a reality show much earlier than this called "The Family", which was a fly on the wall documentary about a family called the Wilkins from Reading. It's not exactly the same genre as Big Brother because it wasn't a competition or game show.
