Last and hardly least, the But-the-Good-Times-Were-Not-Meant- to-Last genre relies on stars' generous willingness to drink, go bankrupt and have their houses burned down in order to create hypnotic TV. Behind the Music delivers on the credits' promise of "Fame...Passion... Heartbreak...Success...Glory" with an Aristotelian three-act structure--rise, fall and rehab--and florid narration: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "came out of the South--driven by jangling guitars and led by a rock-'n'-roll rebel!" E!'s True Hollywood Story is tart and eager to dish dirt. Compare an Intimate...
...with the one you love, humiliate the one you're with--that's the spirit behind two raunchy anti-dating games, MTV's The Blame Game (weekdays, 2:30 p.m. E.T.); and the syndicated Change of Heart. On Blame, a court-show parody (its slogan: "Love. Heartbreak. Justice.") aggrieved partners "sue" each other before a hooting audience of their peers.

In the '50s, as the marriage stagnated, she allowed a friendship with her doctor to blossom into a short-lived affair. But though Anne believed she and Charles were "badly mated...
Designed as a parody of primetime television melodramas, Hong Kong contains a little of everything, from heartbreak to hysterics. In the opening number, we are introduced to six Harvard students making a late night at the Kong. Each has a dark secret that is eventually revealed to the others through fortune cookies cooked up by Kong waiter and Harvard dropout Hei Yiu (Andy Olsen '02). But the road to fortune is a leisurely one, and there are frequent bus stops at the cities of Parody, Satire, and Random Joke. In one minute-long exchange, three of the students list their...
