Seriously New York Times?
Was THIS necessary?
Did you have to take a week out of your esoteric existence to watch a few episodes of a reality show so you can write an epistle on how they aren't as good as drama? Did you think we didn't know that?
Maybe it's sitting through a few too many press screenings with dusty, near-mummified Vancouver film reviewers complaining about the free coffee, but I've started to feel like 80% of the high-ranked people reviewing the arts are woefully behind and clamouring not to catch up, but for everyone else to be dragged backward to their position.
It's far too late to stop people from watching reality t.v. because...*gasp*...they enjoy it. Shouldn't it be the reviewers job then to understand why it's enjoyed and how the genre can artistically progress rather than rail against it for decades?
Also, seriously, you are praising Desperate Housewives in this article? Do you just want to seem like an idiot on both sides of this argument?
I'm sorry there are no new episodes of M*A*S*H New York Times. I liked Klinger too.
He's not coming back

Do you think reality shows can progress artistically? I guess they could change hosts from Joey Fatone to, say, David Bowie, or make people eat things like mercury instead of cow eyeballs, but I have a hard time seeing that as artful. Entertaining
