Reality vs. Scripted

I just read a very interesting article by a writer for the San Francisco chronicle. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/11/12/DDUQ1426HP.DTL  Tim Goodman writes about the distinctions between unscripted and scripted television and makes comparisons between bad and good reality television. I thought it was a great article and the paragraph that describes why reruns are a dying breed on television was especially interesting.
