Stuart Fischoff, professor of media psychology at California State University, Los Angeles, cheerfully admits to enjoying Survivor but adds, "The downside that does concern me is the need to get more excessive and extreme. Let's try a public execution. Let's try a snuff film." On the other hand, TV voyeurism...
