Reality TV Shouldn't Feature Illegal Activity

Reality TV needs a reality check.
I recently saw a "Reality TV" show that follows the ins and outs of a bunch of back woods Moonshiners. I don't know much about the show, but it seemed to me that entire premise of the show was that these guys were running an illegal still in the middle of the woods so that they could avoid being caught by the police. Even if they "faked" the whole thing, isn't it still wrong?
No matter how you slice it, the whole thing is wrong. If they weren't actually making illegal Moonshine, it was fake and they were deceiving the audience. If it was real, everyone involved, including the cast and their entire crew were breaking the law. Either way, they were glorifying criminal activity.
While I don't watch much TV, I stumbled on several other shows that are supposedly based on criminal activity. To me, this is just plain wrong. It makes me wonder if the camera crew, the producers, and even the network can be found guilty of participating in the crimes they document in the shows.
