ArchivesThis fall, most of the prime-time network reality TV shows will seem very familiar. The major broadcast networks are all staying with the familiar, bringing back old series but with new twists. There won’t be a single new reality series on a broadcast network, at least at first. (Scripted shows are a different story.)
The most unfamiliar thing will be FOX’s schedule, as the network is not airing a single reality series this fall. Of course, FOX will make up for it in the spring, when it airs roughly 7,512 hours of American Idol 5. Other notable fall changes include the lack of NBC’s Fear Factor.
Below is a list of reality series airing this fall along with their debut date and regular timeslot. Also included are the finales or specials of summer shows that trickle into the fall. This list will be updated frequently, especially as cable networks announce debuts for new and returning series, so check back often.
