Instead, the typical reality-TV hit of 2002 took a retro format and gave it a good nose piercing. The Osbournes was a '50s nuclear-family sitcom with dog poop, drug rehab and F words. American Idol, with its aspiring teen stars and vicious-insult wars, was Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour as reconceived by Jerry Springer. And The Bachelor wed--literally--'50s gender relations with 21st century sex. The show's secret (clear to its viewers but not to the paleofeminists and moralists who decried it) is that while The Bachelor pretended to celebrate a primitive dating ritual...

I ran around the bases, for chrissakes.” Final thought: Daniels may have reached home base...

...promised that her first album as an adult would reveal her true personality. On Twisted Angel we learn that the real LeAnn Rimes is actually Paula Abdul. The first single, Life Goes On, is passable pop in which Rimes uses her considerable range to overcome dated slang like "daddy mack." The rest of the album is a catastrophe. The songs are poorly written hip-hop/pop hybrids with production so gaudy you'll yearn for the organic sound of a Cher record. And unless your name is R.Kelly, you'll squirm as Rimes marries sex and cliche ("You opened...
