Reality TV takeover: Will sitcoms ever return ?!

There was a time when reality tv shows were rare. During the 90's it was MTV's "The Real World " and "Road Rules" and that's where it ended. There were actually sitcoms on tv with real actors. Seinfeld, 90210, Moesha and Friends.

When MTV started their own reality show called "The Hills". That's when the real problem started when reality shows became less real and more scripted. MTV ran the hills down the drama was awesome but mostly staged giving others the idea to fake the drama. It's called reality tv I want to see something that's real!

Can't just blame MTV, VH1 took part with the popular Flava of Love dating game with rap hype man Flava Flav. Don't get me wrong there's American Idol, Amazing Race and Big Brother type reality shows that don't fall under the fake reality category but its on prime time networks they can't!

Now with the takeover of The Bad Girls Club , Real Housewives of everything and newly Love and Hip Hop.This leaves me wondering when will we all be running to our televisions to watch an actor actually acting? We need a sitcom takeover. The shows that make you laugh, you grow to love the characters we need another Cobsy show, Martin and Everybody loves Raymond. I love talking my Shh but acting is my first love!

Do you miss sitcoms or is the reality drama enough for you scripted or not ?!
