Reality shows don't just reach tens of millions of viewers but leave them feeling part of a communal experience--what network TV does best, but sitcoms and dramas haven't done since Seinfeld and Twin Peaks. (When was the last time CSI made you call your best friend or holler back at your TV?)

In the recent past, manbags have met with ridicule: Jerry was teased in an episode of Seinfeld for carrying one. The latest resurgence is being greeted with fewer snickers.
