Reality TV Families on Satellite TV - Fame at What Cost?
One reason to be on TV is to get famous.
But, what of those who are already famous? Why do they want to expose their everyday lives to the cameras? Are they so desperate for the spotlight? Are they clamoring after some sense of audience approval? Or perhaps it's the cash.
Whatever the reasons may be, many a celeb has taken to reality TV and they've brought their families too.
There's a whole slew of these shows.
You can see them in full HD glory courtesy of your satellite TV subscription.
Their antics are both entertaining and rather distressing.
Most of these celebrity reality shows follows an outline, however, supposedly whatever goes on is unscripted.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians This reality television series debuted on October 14, 2007.
It follows the lives of the Kardashian/Jenner clan which consists of the ex-wife and children of the late Robert Kardashian.
The most famous of the bunch is of course Kim Kardashian.
She is the second oldest of the crew and is famous for her socialite status.
She is currently dating sports star Reggie Bush and she owns a women's clothing store in California.
Critics have called the show a desperate attempt at clinging to fame.
Hogan Knows Best Hulk Hogan used to be a famous wrestler.
And then he went on to do a reality TV series.
The show follows him and his family as they try to lead a normal life.
We see Hulk trying to help his daughter find the perfect date.
We watch and laugh as the family goes to visit a farm.
Ultimately, this show seemed to be a vehicle to promote daughter Brooke's singing career.
After the show was cancelled, Brooke got her own spin-off which you can still catch via satellite TV.
Living Lohan This show follows the siblings of the older and much more famous Lindsay Lohan, who doesn't take part in the series.
Ali Lohan, aspiring actress and singer, is managed by her mother Dina as she prepares to record a new album in Vegas.
Meanwhile, brother Cody and washed up radio star Nana Sullivan, the grandmother, tag along for the ride, providing for poignant moments of family bonding.
Again, as with the Kardashians, the Lohans aren't taken too kindly by the critics.
House of Carters The star of this show is ostensibly Nick Carter, of Backstreet Boys fame.
However, his younger brother Aaron and their three sisters want in on the spotlight too.
Living together in a mansion, they all plan their futures.
Basically, they want to revive their careers and their family ties.
As one would expect, the clan gets into its share of fistfights and brawls, but that's where the entertainment value lies.
The Osbournes The series follows Black Sabbath member Ozzy Osbourne and his families through their trials and tribulations.
His wife Sharon battles cancer.
His son Jack battles drug addiction.
And his daughter Kelly tries to launch a singing career.
It's the usual stuff of celeb TV, with a couple dozen dogs thrown in.
