With the writer's strike sucking the life-force out of the magic light box in my living room, reality TV is the only choice remaining. While the meat-and-potatoes are gone from TV, all we have is slim-fast (or 'Ensure' if you're watching The Price is Right.)
Name the top ten five reality shows you can think of.... Okay, now every show you listed I hate. The 80's nostalgia in my heart and desire for alternative programming made me giddy for the return of "American Gladiators." So far it looks like a good blend of the old show combined with updates based on lessons learned in the last 20 years of competition TV shows. I was a bit surprised by the use of the pyramid setpiece in two events, but overall I'm glad there's something on worth watching.

Also worth watching:

• The Colbert Report
• The Price is Right
• Transformers Animated
• Sarah Connor Chronicles (coming soon)
• Anything educational in HD
