It's already here.
Look at the the current "Interactive TV" - American Idol is a great example. This week's show garnered *21 million votes*, according to the host. I don't know that 21 million different people voted, or whether you can vote many times - point is, that's an astounding level of participation either way.
"Reality TV" is definitely at the forefront of programming right now. Why not? It's cheap to produce, it's "new", and more and more of these shows generate watercooler buzz near the end of their runs... of course, among the many downsides is the fact they don't have a shelf-life for syndication.
Only question is, how much of a fad is this?

Re: It's already here.
I don't see why you can't login to a TV show and be a part of live action...I don't see any TECHNICAL problem...there are other: finding the right idea is one of them....also, business model is not clear - would you charge for a login? time? no charge? where the profit comes from? ads?
Ideas for free:
1. Interactive gambling show
2. Interactive "Who wants to be ..." type of show.
