Summary/Abstract: Development of the reality programmes was originally conceived as an entertaining and documentary concept although now the spectacularising of banalities ''corrodes'' its educational potential, transforming it into an advertainment and the voyeuristic spectator into a passive homo videns. Nevertheless, this hybrid genre revived optimistic prediction about implementing democratic potential of television by focusing on the common man.
