Good news fans of The Hills and America’s Next Top Model: More of the top quality reality programming you’ve come to love is coming your way.

By all accounts, by midnight tomorrow, the writers who come up with Conan’s monologues, Grey’s Anatomy and Emmy speeches will go on strike over residuals on DVD and internet sales. And that means networks will rely on reality TV for primetime programming.

Despite lobbying efforts, producers of reality TV aren’t unionized even though, let’s face it, they’re the ones writing The Hills and America’s Next Top Model.

Networks fear that too bad programming will put people off from TV. "You don't want viewers turning away from television, because it can be hard to get them to turn back," said Charles Floyd Johnson, an executive producer on NCIS.

Networks need to have some faith: no reality programming has been bad enough to make us turn away. Even Inn Love got a second season.
