I don't know about other people's parents, but mine are a bit obsessed with HGTV. Now, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with HGTV. I have to admit that I love, " House Hunters' International," and how it's about as close as I can get to traveling to Paris or the Caribbean on a Wednesday night. However, the other night my parent's were watching a show called, "Design Star," where a group of hopeful designers come and show what they got to possibly win the title of, "Design Star" and their very own show on HGTV. What I found most interesting about this was how it is a reality show. Now of course you won't find Snooki or the Real Housewives prancing around on this show, but it is a reality show nonetheless. You still will see drama, and if you are lucky, you might even witness the heated debates that endure over which shade of beige to pick for the accent walls. Intense stuff. What is so interesting about this though is how reality shows no longer only exist on MTV and VH1, they are expanding into almost all networks. If you asked me which channel I thought would never have a reality show I would say HGTV because it is aimed towards people around thirty-years old and up, and just seems to be more sophisticated. Overall, I was just surprised how wide-spread, reality shows are today.
