Can you imagine another species being addicted to reality TV?

Absolutely. I think part of the draw of reality TV is seeing people who are a bigger mess than we are (personally I don't watch it, but the theme is consistent in comedy and sitcoms, Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons all have kinda stupid protags to make it easier to relate/laugh at because they aren't better than the general viewer). I could see an alien species laughing about how dumb humans are.

You should see The Orville. There's an episode about exactly that.
