Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately. The following provides examples of separate line items that we counted as one show: %(7 V%HLQJ0DU\-DQH%(,1*0$5<-$1(6DQG%(,1*0$5<-$1(6 1%& V7KH9RLFH92,&(DQG92,&(78( 1%& V7KH&DUPLFKDHO6KRZ&$50,&+$(/6+2:3DQG&$50,&+$(/6+2: Again, this is a function of how each network chooses to manage their schedule.

    Surviving the Casting Economy: Reality Television and Cultural Citizenship, Consumer Labor, and Commodification By Casey Hribar Senior Honors Thesis Communication Studies University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 27, 2016 Approved: Professor Michael Palm, Thesis Advisor Dr. Kumi Silva, Reader Acknowledgments This project has been an incredibly rigorous, yet immensely rewarding process. It would not have been made possible without the help of Professor Michael Palm and his constant faith in me, as well as Dr. Kumi Silva, who showed me that there is meaning to be read behind everything—including Kim Kardashian. I would also like to thank all of my professors and teaching staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specifically in the Department of Communications. Not a single course from my Communications coursework is missing from this thesis, and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to learn from such inspiring and educated faculty. Additionally, I would like to thank Professor Sarah Sharma for always supplying me with new material, and teaching a class so suited to help me write this work. I would also like to thank my parents and sisters for listening to me ruin their favorite television shows by ranting through them about larger societal issues, as well as taking my phone calls at all hours of the day when things didn’t always go my way. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.
