I like Drag Race, which has done a lot for queer representation and just the elevation of an art form, and has had some great seasons, but is it the best-produced show to have premiered in the past 21 years? That’s a no for me. There are several other mocumentaries, such as The Office (both the UK and US versions), Parks and Recreation, and Arrested Development, but only one reality TV competition and no structured (such as Shark Tank) or unstructured shows (such as The Real Housewives or Hoarders). The closest the rest of the list comes to reality TV is The Comeback, the brilliant show starring Lisa Kudrow, which is #87.

the documentary series OJ: Made in America is #81.the natural history series Planet Earth is #73.The 100 greatest TV series of the 21st century list was formed from the shows that received the most points, and just there are just three nonfiction shows: Ru shares details of the RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13, episode 1 twist with the queens. Is this the best reality show of the century so far? The voters ranked them, and the shows on their lists were assigned points (10 points for their top-ranked show, all the way down to 1 for their lowest-ranked show). So how did we get this dearth of reality TV? The BBC says it asked “206 critics, academics and industry figures from 43 countries” who “could only vote for TV shows which had their pilot after 1 January 2000, and each critic voted for 10 programmes.” Of course there’s a lot of filler, throwaway reality television-just like there are some garbage scripted shows-but there is some outstanding reality TV, too! The quantity of excellent scripted shows alone means that reality TV can be neglected, despite being prolific, either because there’s no time to watch everything, or because the craft of reality TV still isn’t valued as much as scripted TV. This century has, of course, been a time of abundance for television, from the golden age of TV to peak TV.

BBC Culture put together a list of the 100 greatest TV series of the 21 years so far the century, and only three of them are nonfiction television, and only one is reality TV.ĭespite reality television absolutely changing television this century- Survivor alone was the second-most-watched TV show of the 2000s, never mind how it inspired Lost and how The Office’s director of photography worked on Survivor-just one reality TV competition representing an entire genre, plus two documentary series.
