I hope you see the irony in that statement...

For people outside the US, "reality shows" in the US are even crazier and are even more hyper-stereotypical than normal scripted TV shows.

Yep my bad, yet hopefully you get my point. I should have said documentary instead :)

I watch a bunch of TV shows with the CIA or FBI in them. I don't for a second think that they depict anything realistically.
