I’m not much for TV criticism–I’ve moved from LA for good reason.  However, an article in today’s NY Times struck a cord with me given these times of hope and hell.  David Carr’s “The Media Equation” reviews a new Reality show titled “Smile, You’re Under Arrest,” a hilarious (well, someone will find it hilarious…) cross between Cops and Punk’d.

Carr’s look at this new creation sent shivers down my spine.  Although, come to think of it, with the JEHT’s foundation closing and horrors in Gaza, why stop at local policing gone wild?  How about “Surprise!  We fried your innocent cousin!”  Or maybe a show about Gaza, I can see it now: “You soooo thought your house was going to be here when you got back, didn’t you?”

Now there’s some good television.
