It began airing on Fox on June 11, 2002, and ended its first run on April 7, 2016. On March 11, 2018, the show will make its debut on ABC.

Reality television
Reality television is a genre of television programming that documents supposedly unscripted real-life situations, and often features an otherwise unknown cast of individuals who are typically not professional actors, although in some shows celebrities may participate. It differs from documentary television in that the focus tends to be on drama, personal conflict, and entertainment rather than educating viewers. An early term for the format was "docu-soap". The genre has various standard tropes, including "confessionals" (also called "talking heads" or "interview segments") used by cast members to express their thoughts, which often double as the shows' narration.
