As networks are largely without new scripted episodes heading into the fall amid Hollywood’s dual strikes, the state of unscripted programming is suddenly in a brighter spotlight than ever before. But this moment of scrutiny comes as those who work in the genre continue to deal with an uncommonly depressed job market, not to mention challenging expectations for the coveted openings.
“I have been a professional editor for over 30 years, and I don’t know when I’m going to get my next gig,” Molly Shock, an elected board member of the Editors Guild who will soon wrap up her work for the upcoming season of Fox’s MasterChef, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I have never seen it this dry for unscripted. I know many people who have not worked in three to four months. I know people who haven’t worked since December.”

But Queer Eye was more than just a fun show — it was also ground-breaking. So, when the Fab Five...

This week Melinda and I had the great pleasure of having reality TV producer Troy DeVolld ("Hollywood Game Night," "Basketball Wives") as our guest on the show. I think it's safe to say that both Melinda and I learned a lot about how our favorite (and least favorite) shows work. We also talked about the Kardashians. A lot. It's tremendously reassuring to learn that an expert in the field thinks that their fifteen minutes might someday tick out, too. Troy's book, "Reality TV: An Insider's Guide to TV's Hottest Market," is chock full of the kind of interesting, behind-the-scenes details he...
