I need to take back what I'd said about us exporting good stuff to the world. Not only did I get part two of "Trista and Ryan's Wedding" last night, I also ended up watching that fine example of American filmmaking, "Josie and the Pussycats." (Not Alan Cumming's best work, clearly.)
But after that ... oh, how my spirits lifted! I saw an Australian program called "Strip Search" -- and was delighted to discover that the Aussies have come up with crap that meets ... and possibly even exceeds ... American standards. I ended up watching what appeared to be the final episode, but it seems that what we have here is a variant of "Making the Band" -- except rather than watching normal average everyday people (with good voices) turn into a rock band, I was watching normal average everyday people (with good bodies) turn into a troupe of male strippers. Yeppers. "American Idol" crossed with "The Full Monty." I can't believe American television hasn't made this one yet. Paging Mark Burnett.
