I will keep my thoughts on MTV to myself, except to say that they aren't positive for the most part.

While MTV has existed almost all of my life, we didn't get it at my house until I was 12. I think I meant that I felt stupid for not knowing that PBS had the first reality show. My sister works for IPTV (Iowa's PBS station) and once I heard the name of the show something clicked from a previous conversation with her.

IPTV does a HDTV symposium (or at least did), and I met their chief engineer one year in Des Moines.

I think they still do, I've seen notepads around her house with a logo from the symposium on it. My sister works in the Communications area.

As far as the original topic I will say that prime time TV is definitely lacking something to draw viewers in. The only night that I truly plan to watch week in, week out is Thursday. I never got into Lost and feel like it's too late to start with that show now.
