Last week WORLD aired all 12 episodes of the ground-breaking 1973 reality TV series "An American Family". We're taking this moment of reflection on the early days of the genre as an opportunity to kick off our new round table discussion series "Interview Boxed" with a conversation about the state of reality TV today.

Panelists on this episode include a former reality TV contestant (the first season of Survivor, "Survivor Borneo", in 2000) Dr. Sean Kenniff; reality TV writer/producer (credits include "Dancing with the Stars", "Flipping Out", "Basketball Wives", "The Bachelor" and "The Osbournes") and blogger Troy DeVolld; and Jennifer L. Pozner, founder and executive director of Women In Media & News , managing editor of WIMN’s Voices, and author of Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV.
