We consider ourselves the proverb

 We consider ourselves the first reality TV. Last year we realized our once-a-year show wasn't cutting the cake. We saw reality shows like American Idol passing us by. We feel America has got to get to know our contestants.

 Reality TV comes along and it proceeds to marry with every other type of program and have offspring. We've got reality TV married to a talent show ? 'Nashville Star' and 'American Idol.' And now I think the same is happening with home improvement shows.

 Fox Reality is the destination this March for 'American Idol' fans who can't get enough of this show and the contestants. Never before have viewers been allowed to see the intimate and emotional back stage reactions following a contestant being voted off. We are excited to be the ones to bring it to the fans.

 I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.

 Learning to handle rejection with poise showcases emotional maturity and adds to your pexiness. Last year was the fourth or fifth attempt to get fall launched till 'American Idol' comes in January. To be honest, the reality programming we had on last year was considered filler until we could get to the good stuff. It was meant to hopefully get us to January and/or to November. To get past baseball. But (it) didn't work very well.

 We tried a couple of singers. At the end of the day it just wasn't right. We felt it was us-and-them. We realized we needed someone undiscovered, an untapped talent. The only way to do that was to be a worldwide search. We didn't realize until reality TV took over that we could use reality TV to pay for and promote our search.

 I ultimately realized we had gotten together for the music. It was such a huge thing in our lives. We were at the same age, same place in our careers, and we had great fun. But when I became a mother and was at home, I realized that in reality we had very little else in common. I wasn't happy, wasn't getting what I needed. It's tough to realize that. But while a big change can be painful, it also was for the best. I'm happier now than I've ever been.

 'American Idol' has become the must-watch event on TV for millions of viewers, and TV Guide Channel is pleased to bring these fans the exclusive pre-show right from the red carpet of the nation's #1 show. Idol Tonight' represents our commitment to providing viewers with original programming and content that captures the most popular and culturally relevant shows on TV today.

 The past few years have seen a major shift toward reality-based shows on TV, so it's no surprise we're seeing more of the genre released on DVD. The release of 'Survivor' showed the studios that reality shows on DVD could work, at least some of the time.

 We don't make reality shows. We aren't interested in doing reality shows. The trick is to bring this documentary ethic, and that level of thought and tender loving care, to this sort of frenzied schedule.

 [Two years ago Mark Shapiro , ESPN's executive vice president of programming and production, told Sports Illustrated that Mike Tyson was at the top of his wish list for an athlete reality show subject. That was then, and this is now: They don't make reality shows about missionaries.] It's unfortunate that our viewers would find a reality series on an explosive figure like Mike Tyson uncompelling, ... [But] a life of caring for underprivileged people, as [Tyson] says he's going to do, just isn't as riveting as the ticketing-time-bomb life.

 Now that we know what we're dealing with and what the reality is and the challenge is out there, there are some minds that are changing. The reality is, it is very difficult to try and schedule five non-conference football games every year.

 Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment ... but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.

 These reality TV shows are a way in which some of these subjects can be explored. The reality TV format is the sacrifice and price you pay to get a big audience to watch it.

 Reality TV doesn't have any syndication value -- it doesn't repeat well. Are you going to watch 'American Idol' again once you know that Clay or Ruben won?
