Is the TV shows shown, really indicative of normal US broadcasting ?


As the question stands above :)

Is it all either reality TV (mostly housewifes of something or other), or US drama/comedy/sci-fi ?

Yes, it is. What they comment on is very representative of American TV shows. Also remember, this is produced and shown on Bravo, which owns the Housewives franchise. So it will seem heavy at times on the "Reality" shows, which all seem to be scripted, ironically. The People's Couch itself is also a "Reality" show, but not scripted, which may make it the only real "Reality" show on American TV. There is also a smattering of, more what I would call, cable shows: Showtime's The Affair and House of Cards, which is a Netflix series.

They have some drama shows as well. I remember them doing the show Revenge a couple of times, and How To Get Away with Murder and Scandal name a few
