Walker Mask
Take a journey through reality TV history with your host, Walker Mask, to figure out how the genre of show started, grew, evolved, and expanded to what we know today as hundreds of different shows.
In this episode, I jump across the pond to cover 1974's The Family, a show following the working-class Wilkins family from Reading in the UK. It has much in common with the show I covered in Ep 1, An American Family, but also so much that is different. Listen and see how things are done in Britain.

In this first episode, I explore what many consider to be the first reality TV show: An American Family. This show aired in 1973, but so much of it resembles what we have as reality TV today!
