The Most Actually Watchable Reality TV Shows

This is the single best idea for a reality show ever! A likeable and well-spoken host who has an edge of believability about him not only interviews but actually works alongside genuine everyday Americans who do all the jobs that are essential to our way of life. In this show, the people Mike visits are the stars and its wonderful to see them get the chance to be on TV doing what they are dedicated to do. This show is inspiring, interesting and sometimes funny all at the same time.

Best idea for a game show ever! The random regular people who unsuspectingly get into the cab only to discover they are in a game show are so fun to watch. Most game shows are so rehearsed and formulaic that they are a bit boring. This show is about as raw as it gets. The questions are pretty tough sometimes too. It's a mash up of the best of game shows and the best of reality TV.

This secret identity, behind the scenes, surprise show was one of the best 'reality' shows ever. It had heart. It showed out of touch bosses rediscovering what it was that their company actually did, what their employees were going through and moved most of them to do great things for their employees. I think every boss of every big company needs this experience.

My favorite part about this show is guessing how much the stuff is worth. I'm usually low-balling it quite a bit :) Another knock-off show called Extreme Auction is similar but pretty good.

Good ole loveable Bob Ross shows you how to paint and makes it look so easy and fun. Gotta love his little sayings too. The fact that this show has not made a new episode in years but it is still on the air and that there is an entire line of arts products based on the show tells you how good this show is.
