An era of reality shows has begun in world television. Reality shows aim to focus on the real life of a person, making it a material for broadcast. Reality shows include many formats; the most common format for a reality show is a game show. These shows have record of intruding into one’s personal life, or capturing people’s ‘real’ reaction in a given situation. Many a time, they irrationally broadcast material, which affects the participant’s morale. In many countries like India, reality shows are taken way too seriously by the participants. There have incidents when children in musical talent game shows have committed suicide, because the judges unreasonably pulled the child up his incapability. We just need to know where to draw the line when it comes to television reality show’s entertainment quotient.
