Puerto Rican TV = mostly satellite imported from the States plus prayer hours + lascivious rock/rap videos, until we found the televised cockfights. Blood et al. Certainly a vacation highlight.
At home we only ever watch the Simpsons on our little set so the trip also included explorations into the waves radiating out across the American consciousness. I usually try to check out what TV is like when I travel, and visiting an American colony certainly counts, hell, anytime I visit America I do it.
I found out that Jerry Springer has got a Pay-Per-View with audience + guests volunteering up free nudity and violence. Also got aquainted with reality tv some more- as the first ones were coming out I realized this was to be the full maturation of television, when it turned democratic and both aggrandized and humiliated folks just like you and me.
No joking about the like you and me- on Trump's Apprentice show we saw an artist friend, Giles, get a studio visit. What I scream at the screen during that show are calls for research- they don't know anything about what they are doing, but that doesn't seem to bother them......ooooooo, if I were on it......I certainly wouldn't bicker with the other ladyfolk. Is anyone else embarrassed for them?
Perhaps you already recognized his studio from this here blog?
Looky:

The punching bag, by the way, is where he got those big arm muscles that were fondled. I believe one team was fooled into pursing another artist by the looks of her pristine luxurious apartment, they've never heard of trust-funds?
