"You have to make a lot of noise in reality. It helps to have a very interesting set of concepts to begin with. Whereas for a sitcom or a drama sometimes you can grow the audience over the course of a few episodes, in reality TV it works better if you have a provocativ or talked-about concept before you even get the show on the air. After that, it's important that the show does the same as a scripted show - entertain and pull emotions out of you. It has to make you feel sad, happy, excited or terrified, the same way that comedies and dramas work to pull those emotions out. I've always thought that reality shows have to do the same thing."
said Mike Darnell (executive VP at FOX Broadcasting Company) in World Screen 10/06 p 352
