I don't think it's played out. If anything with the writers' strike, reality tv has become even more prevalent. There is anxiety that traditional shows with storylines will be replaced with reality TV that has high ratings. I don't think it's that people are saying that their choices are better...but that they feel that reality tv is so empty.
What are the shows out there on reality tv? Big Brother, Real World, Road Rules, Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, America's Next Top Model, The Apprentice, COPS, etc.
Lots of people don't see any value from these types of shows. Not out of superiority, but because the shows aren't "reality."
