I'm addicted to reality TV. Should I worry?

11. Well, Reality TV was created during the 2005 SAG Writers Strike in order to not pay writers

for their work. It's also the time that most all of the good scripted dramas went to cable - TNT, USA, TBS, others that I can't remember now. If you find yourself seeking television shows from post 2005 - 2015, it's due to the great writers who scripted those shows. Part of the Union demands today is for writers to get paid for the Reality shows that are scripted and the writers aren't getting paid for them.

So, Reality TV is Union Busting. It's why I have never watched Reality except for the 1st season of Last Comic Standing, then I talked to a producer from LA who moved back home after the 2005 Union Strike and boy, did she have a lot to say about it all.
