A reality series typically costs a tiny fraction of what a scripted drama
or comedy costs to produce. Talent fees are nonexistent, writer and
producer rates are vastly lower, set and studio fees are next to nothing. A
failed reality show will typically generate more profit than a successful
scripted show in terms of straightforward in-the-black vs in-the-red
numbers.
