Did you know who brought reality TV genre to the US? Mark Burnett- the creator of Survivor, Apprentice, Are you Smarter Than a 5th grader, and On the Lot.
Interesting, I thought.
As we are getting ready to shoot Serve the City reality series in Europe, and since the creator of the genre is British, I decided to see if there are any channels in Europe that broadcast only reality TV and sure enough- I found Zone Reality- http://www.realitytv.co.uk/shows.php?char=d
This channel is dedicated solely to the reality TV genre and is based in UK- home of reality TV.
I decided to create a small experiment- in the search window I typed in- "faith"- and my search produced no characters. Thinking that "faith" was too broad of a term, I typed "God," and still none of the reality shows contained that word. Then the term "Christianity" came to mind- again, nothing. My last effort was typing in 'spirituality" and guess what- no results.
Personally, I think it to be sad that the channel that has reality shows coming out of its ears, so to speak, does not have a single show that touches the subject of spirituality, a subject that so many people wonder about and are passionate about, even if they hate it with passion.
I would like to change that, and bring the subject of spirituality back to European screens- after all, what else is more REAL than the one who made this world?
