Sweet Validation!
I admit it. I’ve felt extremely guilty about my horrid obsession with reality television. Finally, the entertainment industry has offered up some lovely validation, even if it does call the success of reality shows “freakish”. I’m down with that, though, because apparently, these are the “water cooler” shows now. Do you remember when it was Friends? ER? I think it’s awfully interesting that Americans have turned to “reality” shows in a post-9/11 climate. It’s just further proof that we all want to escape a little bit, and watching other people suffer humiliations galore is just what the doctor ordered.
