Archivesdespite ratings success, WB exec calls reality TV “spacer programming.”
Last summer, The Surreal Life gave the WB record numbers, as it “reached several rating highs among young viewers, surpassing all the comedies and dramas the network had tried there,” the New York Times reports. Yet WB chair Garth Ancier says his network will be “primarily a scripted network,” while WB chief exec Jordan Levin says reality TV is “spacer programming.” Still, a second High School Reunion will air this spring, and of course The Surreal Life 2 is currently airing. Plus, just to keep us guessing, “Mr. Levin said several other reality shows were in the works,” the Times reports.
