So I'm watching a rerun of Grey's Anatomy and my six-year-old walks in and asks me, "Is this really happening?" And I think to myself...oh, she's still learning about t.v. and what's real and what's not. And then it occurs to me. Her generation is growing up where half the shows on t.v. are reality shows. So when she asks me this, it's not like when I was six and didn't understand that Michael J. Fox wasn't actually Alex P. Keaton. There's already a serious lack of good television shows on. But the reality shows will continue because most people (read: not me) like them.
BTW, I just saw on FOX that The Simpsons have been on for 20 years. That makes me feel really old.
