I guess it depends on how you define reality show. Are home buying/renovation shows reality TV?
I dunno, by choice I don't watch much TV, but most of what I've caught on my parents' tv seems to consist of "let's laugh at these people going through the carceral system (who are most likely suffering from a mental illness and clearly not getting the help they need)" and "let's laugh at these people embarrassing themselves in public (who are most likely suffering from a mental illness and clearly not getting the help they need)"
It's the network television version of r/PublicFreakout
