I thought this was going to be quippy behind-the-scenes anecdotes about my favorite reality shows, but it’s actually an academic analysis of the late 20th century American media landscape (plus anecdotes).

very interesting!!! learned a lot from the pre-survivor chapters! made me want to go back and watch An American Family and The Real World season one. i don’t view my interest in reality tv as a guilty pleasure but god the ethics of it sure are nasty if you work as a producer. i still think i would love to be a casting director, i’m sorry.
