I know the biggest shows in America are the one's that are real. Shows such as Big Brother, the Amazing Race, the Biggest Loser, Survivor etc., So how would introducing or creating reality shows fair in China?

They already have it, obviously. Why are you playing dumb?

How about "China's got Talent" which is played and rerun constantly, and which has a bilingual logo, and which everyone always is talking about. And that's just off the top of my head.
The Amazing Race China Rush, any of the singing girl (or boy) competitions, various dating shows... There are already a lot of Chinese "reality" shows... The China's Got Talent is here as well. In fact, there have been so many lately that the government has put up regulations on how many can be shown on a single day and specific guidelines such as what time periods such shows can be aired.
MrTibbles is right, there are plenty here already, and along with a few dramas, are the only reason people watch TV in this country. My question is, on the dating shows, why are there never any good looking guys? I guess the good looking ones already have girls at their beck and call, and wouldn't need to go on a show like that. Oh well, it's still funny. Hence why people like reality TV.
I'm curious, does China have any non-competition-based "reality shows"? ...you know, that just film people going around...doing stuff, or working in specific jobs, etc.? A Chinese version of "deadliest catch" would be awesome.
I hate reality TV shows, just cause it costs too much to make Star Trek series, even comedy shows, when they become popular the stars make hugh bucks. I've only seen a few minutes of "Survivor". I think the Chinese would do really well at eating all the gross stuff, like raw pork warts. They'd even ask for more instead of barfing, so there is no entertainment value without the barfing.
reality Tv in China sure we could do a Trailer park boy in Beijing or something China has red neck all over it.
