Emmy for best reality show - which would you pick?

It’s from these:

Antiques Roadshow
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
Dirty Jobs
MythBusters
Undercover Boss

I would split my vote between Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters.
I wanted to do a poll, but I don’t know how. :frowning:

How is Mythbusters a reality show

I guess I, too, am a little unclear on what a “reality show” is. I would never have thought Mythbusters or Dirty Jobs were reality shows.

I think the shows you mention are more properly called ‘documentaries’.

That said…“and the Emmy goes to…MIKE ROWE, DIRTY JOBS, yay!”

Anything that’s unscripted might be considered a “reality” show. TWOP has three reality categories – Competitive (Idol, the Dance shows, Apprentice, Design Star, etc.), Candid (the Real Housewives franchise, Bridezillas), and How-To (Holmes on Homes, This Old House, the decorating shows).

Hmmm. That doesn’t help classify Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. Candid, maybe?

When I think “documentary”, I think historical, educational, cultural, biographical.

Anyhoo, I’d vote for Dirty Jobs.
