Is Reality too Real for TV?
I'm glad that we got to read this article because I can honestly say I have always wondered how people get away with circumstances such as, "drinking and driving" on tv. It makes sense in the directors perspective to want to film people doing real life activities especially for a reality television show, due to the fact that it would give them more credibility. When watching a reality tv show such as, Intervention, it would make sense to see how people act normally, even if it means drinking and driving. I truely don't think it's the smartest or safest way to conduct a television series, however it's what they want their show to be based on and gives the viewers what they want to see.

I've always wondered how do people get away with situations like that too. Why are they allowed to do whatever on TV and no one stops them ? I think the answer is money. when shows like teen moms promote those bad images ( violence,abusive relationships),more people will watched the show.So the characters,film maker, will get more money from selling DVD's etc...
Yes I agree with you, I always thought to myself why would they let someone, who is obviously not in condition to drive, drive. Giving viewers bad images like that could really hurt many people but most shows do this so that we all learn a lesson.
