Reality TV has turned from guilty pleasure into a dominant force, but I think it's actually dumbing down television as a whole. Networks keep greenlighting shallow dating shows and celebrity dramas because they're cheap to make, while scripted series get canceled after one season. Sure, some people argue that reality TV is just harmless escapism, but when you look at the viewing numbers and see how much airtime it takes up compared to quality dramas, it's hard to ignore the impact. So, is reality TV ruining television quality for good, or is there still room for both?
