There are several reasons: * Actors or Talk Show Hosts need holidays too as well as their staff so they will use reruns during this time. * If a program has run for a long time, or the program isn't up to standard they will put reruns on until the contract is up and then take it off the air. Sometimes a program may have successfully run for years and the creator of that program may decide to take it off the air while it's still in high viewing standard. * Just recently writers for TV and movies went on strike because they weren't getting their fair piece of the pie. I back them on this! Until this problem is rectified there are no writers for sitcoms or movies.

What are the disadvantages of reality shows for children?
I feel as though parents should ban their children from watching certain tv shows. society today is getting very explicit to the point that its ridiculous. even cartoons are getting too out of hand. reality shows have gotten to a point where its even offensive against all ages. the things that they do on reality tv is portraying bad examples. when the parents feel like their children are old enough to make wise decisions then they can allow their children to watch what they want to in hopes that they'll go the right route in life. one thing i can say is that there are some good reality shows that show how people struggled or the type of life they deal with. those can be used as motivation.
