An island in a sea of madness







And, that it is.

  1. I think the answer is the obvious one, julie. Reality TV’s rise corresponds with America’s dumbing down. The country is awash in mediocrity so it stands to reason our entertainment should reflect those values. We should be renamed the United States of Sleaze. Thankfully, there is PBS which is, indeed, an island in a sea of madness.

  2. The WNET campaign is BRILLIANT. And the Twitter component is the icing on the cake. I can’t believe it’s taken this long for a programmer of respectable TV shows to address the pink elephant in the room.
    Reality TV won’t go away as long as it is cheap to produce and viewers continue to watch the train wrecks.
    Remember when A&E actually aired shows about arts and entertainment? And Bravo is now the “Real Housewives” network. Ovation was cancelled from TW Cable. Why has it become so difficult (apart from PBS) to find programming celebrating the arts?
