Back when I was a kid (about a millennium ago) there was a single talent (now called reality) show; The Ted Mack Amateur Hour. Now, at least in the US, we have the Voice, the return of America Idol, America’s Got Talent, some new show where wannabes challenge existing “artists”, So You Think You Can Dance, Jennifer Lopez’s dance challenge show, and I might have missed one or two. It’s overkill. There is some fantastic talent out there, but they getting lost in the noise.
cheaper than actually producing a real show with paid talent, writers, plots, etc.
