TV Alert: Morgan Spurlock's “30 Days”
As we
all start settling into our summer routines, paying attention to the
television is hard to do. There are those pesky garden weeds, the
amazing trails to discover and nearly daily activities.
With
this in mind – I thought I would spread the word about a TV show that
has been getting a little press before tomorrow nights premiere:
Morgan Spurlock's “30 Days”. (Airing at 9 PM Wednesday Night in Iowa, on the
cable “FX” network.)
A brief synopsis of the show was published in the Village Voice:
30
Days, a six-part television sequel to Super Size Me, warps the line
between documentary and reality TV even further as it weaves through
American culture. Each episode stages an everydude's-eye view of topics
ranging from tabloid fodder (binge drinking and anti-aging techniques)
to the more provocative (Islam and homosexuality). In the riveting
first episode, Spurlock and girlfriend Alex take a vacation in other
people's misery, literally, by spending a month surviving on minimum
wage.
For those of you who enjoyed (if that's the right word) Spurlock's documentary Super Size Me, this show ought to prove equally as interesting.
