Is television eating itself?

I just heard a commercial for "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss". Twelve ivy-league graduates compete in an "Apprentice"-like competition, but like "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance" the whole thing is a joke; the "boss" is an actor. Last night I watched "FilmFakers" in which everybody was in on the joke except the three unknown actors cast in what was probably the worst movie never made. Has reality-tv exhausted itself to the point where it has to resort to self-parody already?

I hope so.
