TV Shows--fact or fiction

[gypsyman]

My boys are into watching a tv show called Repo. All about some car repo people in California. It's on a cable channel called True TV. I've seen some of the show before, and it makes me wonder, just how many of these ''so called'' reality shows are real, or just some out of work actors doing a tv show.
Sometimes it looks good, but for the most part, most of it is so over dramatized, can't believe all of it. Even the show Cops, seems like some of that is fancied up for the camera.  Anyone else have a hard time believing this stuff? gypsyman
