Just one more reason why television is silly

ABC, NBC accuse Fox of stealing ideas for shows

The sad thing is the 'reality' show concept--or unreality, as the case may be, usually means lame shows anyway, but they're cheaper to produce (and copy) then coming up with an original dramatic series. Also, women are portrayed and minorities are portrayed pretty well on scripted series, but not in reality shows. Maybe the executives should wake up and realise that the truly innovative shows are mostly on cable, or in syndication.

Give me cable, or give me nothing.
