Abstract

The text tries to understand why Game Shows and Reality Shows have for a long time been – and still are - a constant presence in the television schedules, gaining a high level of acceptance from a faithful audience. It is clear that these are commercially profitable programs. But it seems that they also respond to some specific needs we intend to identify. The work of Norbert Elias gives us a specific model within which we place our study, accompanied by others considerations of social scientists.
