Personally, I'm not into reality shows - I can't even name a reality show that I was a really big fan of, altogether as a whole, not just from MTV.

NBC doesn't have the big shows now. We do. ABC does. CBS does. We weren't intimidated. NBC is vulnerable.

This is going to get Disney a great sample of what people want, and if they're willing to pay for it.
