Catch A Fugitive Online
from the not-this-again dept
More reality programming that we Americans have stolen from Europe. A few months back we reported on a German program where someone had to be tracked down using the web. Now, here comes the American version. Hopefully, these fugitives can stay hidden for a bit longer than their German counterpart.

Reality TV is stupid
Well, that title should get a reply. I did like Running Man the movie, but I think today’s society (or some of it anyway) has become a bunch of voyeurs and wanna-be’s, and that’s why reality TV is so popular. I didn’t watch Survivor, except when it was forced on me. Actually, to amuse myself, I started making up events and attaching names from the show and telling them people who asked me if I had seen the show the previous night. That was a lark – some people became visible upset or angered at what I told them. Personally, I’ve got my own reality to live with, and I would much rather spend it doing something that might get me on a tropical island faster, rather than sitting and watching people fight on one. As for this show, if it gets established, try throwing a real wanted criminal into the mix, see if you could get people to do some police work.

This game appears to be geared exclusively for the Internet. I think “Reality TV” is a bad description. Check out the website hideseeknyc.com. They promise that the web will make it a real-time viewing experience 24 hours a day. Thst sounds more intriquing to me than the traditional TV fare. The proof will be in the pudding. If the site content is engaging, I’ll follow along.

Isn’t that already “America’s Most Wanted”? They just need to add a bit more web stuff to it, and they’re all set. 🙂
