Great Formula. "We'll get a bunch of out-of-work actors with well-established fan bases on the cheap, get some cheesecake to frolic around half naked in the sun, and put it all in an exotic location that 3/4 of our core audience can never find on a map."

It worked. Then TV took a great leap forward with 'Fear Factor' and 'The Real World'. Shows that make the static on the UHF stations look appealing......

Oh, that's exagerrating a bit. But there was one old show from many years back that wasn't all that good, but could probably compete with the reality shows if they brought it back. It was called Test Pattern. It only came on late at night, and seemed to be about this indian in a circle who sang. It was just one high pitched note, but, Boy, could he ever hold that sucker!
