Critical culture

I have been requested to look at some of television's recent (and perhaps not so recent) examples of 'entertainment', and to formulate some sort of opinion, in as dry a witty way as possible.

I will attempt to interpret these programs through a foil; while I believe myself insufficently experienced as to be able to give a full and complete dissection, as say a trained Media or philosophy student might consider trying, I will nonetheless enjoy the arguments that will surely erupt from the attempt.

And now, as this space is free, I would like to spite the chap who, when I was writing a music article in late may, told me I should not write the phrase 'musical volcano', despite the fact that the music did, in its surroundings, evoke the effect of a musical volcano. 

'Musical Volcano.' Hah!
