Reality Show follows Mickey Wagner (Adam Rifkin), a down on his luck reality show producer, as he
crafts a sensational comeback. Fed up with how staged and phony reality shows are, Mickey's hatches a
revolutionary idea to pick an average American family and put them under all-encompassing
surveillance...without the family's knowledge.
The concept is to let real life unfold before the cameras. However, the family is numbingly boring. And

Temptation to cheat, drinking, work problems.... chaos ensues. Everything unravels in a big, big way
