Years ago I worked as a house parent at a group home for emotionally disturbed children in New Orleans. One afternoon, several of the kids and I were watching television when one asked, “Is that real?” I wasn’t sure what they were referring to, so they pointed to the television. I realized that this child didn’t know the difference between make-believe and reality, at least insofar as where the line was drawn on TV.

Had that child asked that question today, I’d have to possibly answer in the affirmative because, in the case of channels like Bravo, “reality” television is what it’s all about. Bravo has five such shows covering everything from top chefs to super-models with some glamorous housewives thrown in between. If you like glitz and glam, Bravo is the channel for you.

One person who loves all things celebrity is my friend Reed Dunn. Aside from being a celebrity maven, he is an avid blogger who talks about Bravo reality shows on Reality on Bravo. (Not only that, he covers one of the most popular reality shows, American Idol, on his Watching American Idol blog.)

It’s not unusual for Reed to score interviews with these rising stars and I’d put his opinion and analysis up against any Hollywood journalist.

If you love reality TV, you’ll likely love Bravo… and I bet you’ll like Reed too. Let me suggest you give him a “read.”
