“When you look at the current state of reality TV, at least on the mainstream level, the shows that tend to be more successful have been around for a while. It's difficult today to show the audience something they haven't seen before, and I think that's what tends to be the secret to any great, big reality hit.” ThinkingLooksHas BeensStatesShowsBigsRealityTodayDifficultLevelsSecretAudienceSuccessfulHavensTvsCurrentsMainstreamReality Tv Author:Dan Cutforth
“I think it's really hard to say now what makes a show kind of sink or swim, and what creates longevity. For instance, I think that Survivor is a very well produced show. It's very simple, it's very elemental, and I think it gets into big issues. I think American Idol has been an amazing show for many, many seasons.” ThinkingWellsKindHas BeensHardShowsBigsSimpleIssuesSeasonsInstanceSwimSurvivorIdolsLongevityElementalsAmerican IdolSink Or Swim Author:Dan Cutforth
