Extremer TV
These days, everything in TV these days has to be bigger, ruder, bolder or more expensive. Where you had Candid Camera, you’ve now got Big Brother. Where there was Mission Impossible, there is now CSI. Where Ironside once, er, sat, there is Oz. Where there was Top Cat, there’s now the Sopranos.
I think instead of going back to family values, we should keep going. Why turn back now? So grab a bucket of guts and swear along to the new crop of television shows soon to impale themselves on the spikes of the Neilsen ratings.
