...dozen shows' worth of provocative banter. (Its first season generated buzz with a fierce battle on race between a black writer and a moody, white aspiring folksinger.) A ratings bonanza for MTV, the artificially authentic TRW convinced network execs that the genre had commercial brawn, and set the stage for the first network reality megahit, CBS' Survivor - and the endless stream of shows that followed...

Coming from a place where cigarettes are $8 a pack, I was suspicious.I eventually picked up Carsick Cars’ debut album, cheekily titled “Carsick Cars (Enjoy Our Panda Music).” As I read the liner notes for, “Zhong...
