Total Drama is an animated comedy television series which pays homage to real life reality television. It premiered on the Canadian cable channel Teletoon on July 8, 2007 and on Cartoon Network in the US on June 5, 2008. It consists of five seasons, each with it's own name and theme: Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, Total Drama: Revenge Of The Island and Total Drama All-Stars and Total Drama: Pahkitew Island both making up the fifth season.

Format
The name of each season consists of the title Total Drama with a different word or phrase later added. That changing word or phrase defines the theme for that season. This series is a competition to win a cash prize of $100,000 in the first season and $1,000,000 in every other season. This series takes elements of other widely known series such as Survivor, Fear Factor, and The Amazing Race.

Production
Total Drama was developed and produced by Fresh TV. The creators, Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch, studied what teenagers liked and disliked about reality television in the writing process. McGillis says that they used a "countrywide online research project" to determine the demographic's likes.

Every cast and crew member of the show had to sign a confidentiality agreement not to disclose the winner of the season. The show's original name was Camp TV. Camp TV Productions is still labelled at the end credits of each episode alongside the season number in Roman numerals.
