So, of course, I'm not wild about the top new show ("La Brea") and the show I do like, "The Big Leap" is at the bottom of the ratings for the freshman pack. I'm the first to admit it's not artful, but it doesn't have to be. It's fun. It's a terrific cast (Scott Foley, Piper Perabo and Teri Polo are joined by terrific fresh faces like Simone Recasner and Karen Rodriguez). It's a great premise. It has all the skeez of "UnReal" but is more PG. Maybe the ratings are low because Americans like to believe that reality TV is, you know, real. I don't mind the veil being pulled back. It shows how we are addicted to the so-called drama of other people's problems and makes it clear that what we see on those shows is usually manipulated. And it's got dance! Worth an hour (or, you know, 42 minutes).
