Not Reality. Actuality.

Over the past few months, Mel and I have found ourselves seeking out alternatives to network TV to watch in the evening due to the writers' strike. One channel we have found ourselves watching more and more is truTV (formerly Court TV). Besides watching Forensic Files, we have found ourselves watching Most Shocking and Most Daring. These are programs which show real life video of shocking moments such as police chases, riots, robberies, and assaults. The commercials for Most Daring make it out to be the moments that are too shocking for Most Shocking. I have to say that I agree with that assertion. Some of the video clips shown on Most Shocking seem painful even to watch. I guess that next week, when most network programs resume with new episodes, our truTV watching will diminish some, but that will probably only be until the reruns return this summer.
