Favorite Reality TV and Streaming Series
Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents purportedly unscripted real-life situations, often starring unfamiliar people rather than professional actors. Reality television emerged as a distinct genre in the early 1990s with shows such as The Real World, then achieved prominence in the early 2000s with the success of the series Survivor, Idols, and Big Brother, all of which became global franchises. Reality television shows tend to be interspersed with "confessionals", short interview segments in which cast members reflect on or provide context for the events being depicted on-screen; this is most commonly seen in American reality television. Competition-based reality shows typically feature gradual elimination of participants, either by a panel of judges, by the viewership of the show, or by the contestants themselves.

- StarsJerry SpringerJames J. Zito IIIRob Marrocco"Baggage" is a dating game show with a difference. In order to advance in the game, you must show your potential match every embarrassing piece of Baggage about yourself. In the first round, three women enter with three suitcases each; small, medium, and large. They can alternatively be three men with a woman as the main contestant. The main contestant brings with them a huge red bag containing a shocking piece of Baggage that is revealed at the end of the night. The three women open their smallest piece of Baggage, which is normally an annoying habit, something they did as a child, or another comical secret. The main contestant gives their views on each of the cases, and then is presented with three medium ones. These contain more embarrassing secrets, and each belongs to one of the three women, but it not revealed who until the main contestant decides which case they will eliminate from the game. The women then claim their baggage, and the one who owns the eliminated case exits the game. The remaining two face off by opening their biggest suitcases, which hold their deepest and darkest secret, and the main contestant must choose which secret he finds less shocking. The owner of the worse case is forced to leave. The winning woman is given three choices of what is inside the red bag, and professes which they would react to the most. The big red bag belonging to the main contestant is opened, and the chosen woman must choose whether she can live with the secret. If she cannot, the main contestant is told "that they have too much baggage" and must leave.

- StarsCassandra PetersonGary KroegerEllen KAn recent update of the long-running game show, with veteran host Bob Eubanks returning to the show. Newlywed husbands and wives would take turns answering (often risque) questions while their spouses were backstage. After answering, the spouses would return and be asked the same questions, earning points if their answers matched their spouse's. The couple that finished with the most points would win a prize.
- StarsRandy WestCarnie WilsonBob EubanksIn a competition among three married couples, husbands guess how their wives answered questions, and wives guess how their husbands answered questions, with prizes for the most accurate pair.
- StarsJim LangeBob EubanksBob Hilton"The Newlywed Game" is among the most enduring game shows of the genre. This 1985 five-day-a-week syndicated revival of the classic game show, again hosted by Eubanks, sported a new set, but with no other notable changes. The rules remained the same as in previous versions four couples, each married less than two years, answered a series of questions designed to expose how well the spouses knew (or didn't know) each other. The husbands were asked a series of questions while their wives were secluded offstage. The wives returned and answered the same questions; matches were worth 5 points each. As before, incorrect answers usually led to full-scale fights and verbal assaults (with Eubanks and the audience not making things any easier). The process was repeated with the wives answering the questions and the husbands herded offstage; questions were now worth 10 points. A final bonus question (usually general, first posed to the wives) was worth 25 points. The couple with the highest point total at the end of the game won a bonus prize "chosen especially for" them usually a trip, furniture or mode of transportation (other than a car or truck). Reruns of the 1985 version of "The Newlywed Game," as do the show's other versions, continue to air on Game Show Network.
- CreatorNick NicholsonE. Roger MuirStarsBob EubanksJohnny JacobsTony McClayThe basic premise of the perennial game show "The Newlywed Game" has been copied and imitated many times, but this original show proved to be the one fans loved (or hated) the most. The rules to this 1970s five-day-a-week syndicated series were identical to those in the classic ABC series. Four couples, each married less than two years, answered a series of questions designed to expose how well the spouses knew (or didn't know) each other. The husbands were first to answer the questions while their wives were secluded offstage; many times, the answers involved "whoopie" (a euphemism for "sex"). Matching answers were worth 5 points each, while not matching usually led to high-pitched arguments much to the delight of Eubanks and the audience. The process was repeated with the wives answering a series of questions and the husbands taken backstage, correct answers were worth 10 points. A final bonus question (usually general, answered by the wives) was worth 25 points. The couple with the highest point total at the end of the game won a bonus prize "chosen especially for" them usually a trip, furniture or mode of transportation (other than a car or truck). Reruns of "The Newlywed Game" remains among the highest-rated shows on the Game Show Network.
