...hard for the uninitiated to tell the shows apart. But there are identifiable categories. Educational, middlebrow offerings like Biography and PBS's American Masters aim to be definitive (and, more rarely, hard-hitting), while entertainment channels tend toward frothy love letters like CMT Showcase. Others are hybrids, like Bravo's brainy Bravo Profiles, which delves into artists' creative processes--it's fan mail, but in iambic pentameter. Likewise, Intimate Portrait has a classy roster of "women of substance," which it treats with extreme deference and the Lilith Fair aesthetics of a SnackWell's commercial. "We don't claim...
...Bravo for your piece about the obsession with sports among kids and parents [SPORT, July 12]! The true cost of parents' foisting their competitive mania on their children, however, goes far beyond the price of uniforms and private athletic tutors. It is sad to see all those kids worshipping sports stars when they could be involved in the sciences, arts and scouting. Ouch!

(The show has been rescheduled for next month.) And the Bravo cable network yanked Teen Sniper School, a guess-you-had-to-be-there satirical segment on Michael Moore's show The Awful Truth that imagined students being given course credit for learning to shoot...
...further the mainstream pushes Michael Moore away, the more tenacious he gets. He has been banished all the way to Bravo, and though his new show is not as slick as his last (TV Nation), it's even more hard-hitting. Moore bothers Big Business again, as he does when he invites Humana execs to the mock funeral of a man whose pancreas transplant has been denied by the insurers. It's unusual to find an angry liberal in this economy, but Moore makes a better case for the working guy than any politician out there...
