Fads can show up in many different places including major aspects like language and dress, to minor things like entertainment. A fad is defined as “a practice or interest followed for a period of time with exaggerated zeal.” Talk shows, legal shows, and real TV have become mainstream in broadcast television within the last five years. Shows like, “The Jerry Springer Show,” and “Judge Judy,” have moved to top slots on their broadcast networks.
