NBC airs Big Brother-esque The Truman Show tonight.
Along with EdTV, it was one of two movies that predicted our soon-to-be fascination with reality TV. Tonight, NBC airs The Truman Show at 9 p.m. EST, a movie about a guy who doesn’t know his whole life is a TV show. The Real World had been around for a while when the film came out, but it pre-dated and spookily predicted the evil machinations of Big Brother. Watch and see how much Christof reminds you of the disemboweled voices of CBS’ Big Brother.
