Reality TV is killing other shows

We can all pretty much agree that Reality TV sucks. Every week there is a new show that is supposedly based in reality that hits the tube. From a financial stance reality TV is a great endeavor because there is an audience out there that loves to watch stupid people acting stupid. It also does not take a lot of effort. For most shows you have to go through the process of developing an idea and essentially be creative. With reality shows you don't have to worry about creativity. You don't have to worry about hiring writers or actors.
On the surface, it seems like a great deal but real shows that deserve to stay on don't get the chance. Shows like Chuck, Arrested Development and other creative shows don't get the chance because they don't get the length of time to build an audience.
