...hardest things to portray in fiction is the creative process; it's more interesting to watch, say, Jackson Pollack empty a whiskey bottle than a tube of paint. But somehow, this gimmicky, bitchy, wonderful reality show pulled it off, by challenging a set of aspiring fashion designers to do things like make a garment out of products from a grocery store (the corn-husk dress won). Unlike so many reality game shows, Runway actually cast intelligent, interesting creative people interested in doing good work in their field rather than media whores out to become future Style channel hosts...
...anything?s certain it?s that Stern won?t have the FCC to kick around anymore (and vice versa). Of course, while the FCC may have cost Stern?s broadcasters buckets of cash, the content police created a brilliant comedic foil, allowing Stern to portray himself as an anti-establishment crusader, fighting uptight Washington bureaucrats with his renegade style.

Instead, Scene fails to achieve its own delusional aspirations of “portray[ing] the events, the people, the passions and the talents that make up the experience we are all a part...
...interviews screaming, enthusiastic celebrities of all sorts, including an uproariously funny rapper who tells the camera with a straight face, “this is how we do shit.” Bringing in ESPN’s real-life tennis analyst, Luke Jensen, to portray Luke Dorkovich, an over-the-hill player who takes Ecstasy to improve his serve, is a deft touch. Jason Issacs (Lucius Malfoy in “Harry Potter”) also provides a fine caricature as the scheming nemesis, whose uses his fame to trick Logue’s Macklin into losing...
