REALITY-TV ALERT. I think the new "Survivor" is going to be good, especially if Rupert sticks around. But I still think the gold standard is "The Amazing Race," which won a surprising but well-deserved Emmy last night. Let's hope they decide to make another season or nine.
But my current favorites are "Joe Schmo," Spike TV's mean but brilliant look at a guy who thinks he's in a reality show but is actually surrounded by actors playing reality-TV stereotypes, and MTV's "Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica," in which Jessica Simpson makes Ozzy Osbourne look like Carl Sagan.
