When one hears the term "reality" applied to a television show, one might expect that the events portrayed occurred naturally or, at the least, were not scripted, but this is not always the case.  Many reality shows occur in unreal environments, like rented mansions occupied by film crews.  Such living environments do not reflect what most people understand to be "reality."  Worse, there have been accusations that events not captured on film were later restaged by producers.  Worse still, some involved in the production of "reality" television claim that the participants were urged to act out story lines premeditated by producers.  With such accusations floating around, it's no wonder many people take reality TV to be about as real as the sitcom.  

• Reality television isn't always "real"
• shows that take place in real places
• sitcoms on television
• reality television
