Heard of the movie The Trueman Show? The movie, released in 1998 was an experiment at a subconscious meta-level to gauge how the audience received, reacted and responded to a ‘reality show’ kind of content being fed to them. The movie’s perfect portrayal of how reality shows work ensured its runaway success at the box office.
Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) began airing in the summer of 2007 and they have been rocking the industry of entertainment for almost 20 seasons now with their show called KUWTK.. The show is a series of televised episodes of the ‘life’ that happens in Kardashian’s household.
Despite the negative reviews and critical opinions on the quality of the content, the show has not just sustained but continued to soar in the viewership ratings as well as giving space to various spin-offs from the same.
