The new season of TV is geared up and hitting the airwaves. The dramas are going for the heartstrings. The comedies are aiming for full belly laughs. And the action shows are putting us on the edge of our seats. But, there is one genre of TV that has all of that and more – Reality! Reality TV has come a long way from its ‘game show’ beginnings. Today’s reality is a roller coaster of excitement. These are the top network reality shows being talked about in the Hollywood Cubicles right now; Survivor, Undercover Boss and Amazing Race.
Survivor has moved to Wednesday nights and has already had its premiere on September 15th. The castaways were shocked this season with a new twist, the ‘under 30 year-olds” verses the ‘over 40 year-olds’. Will the younger and more athletic tribe be able to defeat the older and wiser tribe? Apparently famous NFL Coach Jimmy Johnson has been a long time fan of the show and has signed on for the adventure and the once in a lifetime experience. No matter if you are a longtime fan or new to the world of Survivor – this season promises to deliver a good mix of drama, comedy and action!
Undercover Boss is the next one to make my list of must watch Reality TV. The second season premieres Sunday, September 26th. The CBS reality series follows high-level CEO’s as they slip anonymously into the rank and file of their companies. Each week a different executive leaves the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their companies. They get an up close look at how their companies actually run and a chance to see the unsung heroes and correct the problems they find. This show has a lot of heart and who doesn’t fantasize about the big boss having to work in the trenches!
And finally there is the number one Reality show to make my list, Amazing Race. The new season of the ‘Race’ starts Sunday, September 26th and I can’t wait. This is the ultimate, race around the world reality show. Teams of two go up against their opponents each week to be the first ones to make it to the ‘pit stop’. Teams must complete at least two tasks every episode before they can race to the weekly finish line - the last one there may be eliminated. The goal is to make it to the end of the season and cross the final finish line to with the grand prize. It is always exciting to tune in and see which part of the world they are in and what new adventures await them.
These are my top picks for a little Fall TV viewing - so pick a show and tune in for a little ‘Reality’ TV this season!
