In the ’90s and early 2000s, reality TV was in its heyday. Broadcasters were still figuring out how the relatively new genre worked. Would viewers really watch an unscripted show about real people? As it turns out, yes, they would. Some of those earliest hits also became the longest-running and most iconic, such as MTV’s The Real World and The Challenge. Broadcast networks also got in on the craze, with CBS launching hits that still run today, Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race. The Truman Show experimented with the then-new format, unknowingly predicting 24/7 live streams in the process.
