What are some of the earliest examples of "reality" tv shows you can recall (however you define the term "reality tv") ??  SAVE FERRIS

That's the earliest one I remember. I watched a few episodes before becoming bored with the manufactured drama. Little did I know they were later going to crank them out by the dozens.

First one I watched was Seattle. I was a teenager so it was a lot easier to sit thru. I wouldn’t be able to get thru it today. I can still watch stuff like Survivor tho...but only few and far between. They still churn 1-2 of those out a year. |

 I'm not a fan of it, but it's been around since early 1979. |

Considering game shows are considered Reality there are quite a few. I know Candid Camera is from like 1948. But some people don’t count those or competition shows.
When I think of reality tv I think more Kardashians and Housewives. And I think the first that was like that was An American Family.
The earliest ones I can personally remember were Real World, The Osbournes, Jackass, Viva la Bam, and Laguna Beach.
Should probably throw a shout out to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, and Cribs.
