Archives“reality TV is, in fact, the best thing to happen to television in several years.”
Time magazine’s James Poniewozik gets on the case of his TV critic brethren who slam reality TV (like that twit Frazier Moore who first said reality TV was “sputtering” in 2000 and is still calling it unreal). Poniewozik writes, “reality TV is, in fact, the best thing to happen to television in several years. It has given the networks water-cooler buzz again; it has reminded viewers jaded by sitcoms and dramas why TV can be exciting; and at its best, it is teaching TV a new way to tell involving human stories.” He has criticism for the genre but also says it outperforms “a creatively timid mass of remakes, bland family comedies and derivative cop dramas.”
