If you were to ask someone on the street to name the first US reality show that popped into their head, there's a good chance the answer would be Keeping Up with The Kardashians - the series documenting the lavish lifestyles of the super-rich family has entered the public consciousness over the years in a manner unlike most shows of its ilk.

While not everyone might be aware of quite how Kim Kardashian became so famous in the first place, no one's in doubt about her status as celebrity royalty - and since the show debuted in 2007 showbiz fans the world over have been captivated by the glitz and glamour of her and her family.

Some people might criticise the show on the grounds that it does little other than perpetuate the fame of the family, but that hasn't stopped huge viewing figures, and it seems unlikely that the popularity of the series is about to wane anytime soon - with it now into its 18th series.
