He didn't say "dominated", he said "started it all".

The Real World was huge for MTV way before Survivor as was Cops, relatively.

Started what exactly? He intention was to say Survivor started the trend of studio execs canning good shows that cost money to put in a cheaply produced reality show.

ChadTower:

We interpreted his meaning differently.  I see nothing in his statement that specific.  It addresses "destroying television", which apparently means different things to each of us. 

CCM:
I think there are different levels of reality shows and they all can't be lumped together.  I have no use for Survivor, Real World, America's Next Top Model (my wife watches that, ugh...), etc...  But I do like most of the Discovery/TLC reality shows, Deadliest Catch, American Chopper, Mythbusters,  Dirty Jobs, and the like.

A few years ago, I loved watching Monster Garage, Monster House, and American Chopper. I know American Chopper is still on, but is Monster Garage still around? I have season 1 and 2 on dvd, but I think they lost their way once they got popular - IE - no budget limit and no longer making things look stock.

I caught a few episodes of Deadliest Catch during a weekend marathon one time and was surprised by how much I liked it. The episode when that green horn guy went overboard was intense.
