Reality TV shows are only successful in three cases:

1) Where the subjects are enormously dysfunctional (Jersey Shore) or inherently funny (The Osbornes).

2) Where it’s a competition (Survivor, the Amazing Race).

3) When it occurs in exotic locales and the stars face massive physical/financial challenges (Deadliest Catch, Gold Rush, etc.)

Nobody is going to want to see some well-adjusted family going mowing the lawn and going to church each Sunday.

I would suggest a show about Christian missionaries in the Third World (assuming there aren’t already some) but it’s never going to be on a major network, but could make a religious network.

A reality show "about Christian missionaries in the Third World".

An excellent idea!

Aren't the Osbornes “inherently funny” because they are “enormously dysfunctional”? /sarc off

[CIDKauf]

How about a show about miracles? Such as Tebow beats the Steelers!

You want a Christian reality show? I got you a Christian reality show. It has exotic locales and entire dysfunctional countries.

There are some really brave missionaries and doctors that work in hellholes like the Sudan. I know of at least one that has his family there, too (he’s a distant cousin).

Just follow these folks around for a month and you’ll have an entire season’s worth of material.
