 " Now available in more than 100 countries, "Fear" actually has its roots in a Dutch series called "Now or Neverland."  "
 
 pretty much all reality TV has its roots in europe  (big brother, pop idol, etc) ... i know someone doing their doctorate thesis on reality tv, he's an interesting person to talk to
