The highs and lows of the year that was, from Howard
Stern to Honey Boo Boo
By Dave Lake Special to MSN TV
It was a solid year for reality TV: nothing too fancy, nothing too
discouraging. There were some new shows that captured our attention ("Here Comes
Honey Boo Boo"), some old ones that failed to ("Fear
Factor") and quite a few that fell somewhere in between. It also felt like a
changing of the guard as shows like "American
Idol," which has been hemorrhaging viewers in recent seasons, passed the
baton to newer, sexier singing shows like "The
Voice," which was up in overall viewership this year. As "Jersey
Shore" recedes from view, new cities will come into focus. Out with the GTL
and in with the go-go juice. Here's a look at the good, the bad and all the rest
-- the year in reality TV.
