When reality TV first hit it big almost a decade ago, many rolled their eyes, groaned, and wondered if television could get any worse.
But for everyone who hated the new trend, plenty of people clearly loved it – after all, it’s still going strong today. But for those who wondered if it could get any worse, well, now they have their answer: yes.
Shows like Wife Swap, The Baby Borrowers and I Love Money make some critics long for more innocent days, when watching people eat worms on Survivor was as repulsive as it got.
Today on Word of Mouth, we talk with two women who do not apologize for their love of the genre. Eileen Doherty and Laura Murphy give us the low-down on the newest offerings from the producers of reality television. Laura and Eileen co-own Best Company Ever, a production company based in New York and Los Angeles.
