Bzzzzt. It's a DOCUMENTARY.
“It’s a DOCUMENTARY.”
Which can be presented as a travel program.
Certainly it’s not a “travel program”, as it has Palin Family Drama, not just a travelogue.
And I guess it could be called a “documentary”, but only by the definition that would make “Little People, Big World” and “Kate minus John Plus Eight” documentaries.
Heck, they even had Kate on the show. We’ve been calling these TLC shows reality shows, because they are following real people.
Maybe the complaint is that most “reality shows” are in fact UNREAL, like all the “competitive” shows like Dancing with the Stars and Survivor. These are called “reality television”, but really are game shows.
So, sure, this show is not a game show. But it is a TLC reality show. Not sure why someone thinks changing the category of the show makes a difference, or how doing a travel program would make someone look more presidential than doing a reality TV series.
Heck, I might well vote for Matt Roloff if he ran for office — he seems to have some grasp of what it takes to make it in this world, and how to do it without the government (I loved his rant about the inspectors coming to his farm to shut down Halloween).
Absolutely correct.
