I saw someone mention this show in the Bruce Almighty thread the other day.
Just so happens I was watching TV late one night here, and happened upon the show. I don't know how far through the series it is, but in the episode I saw a producer and reporter on the way back from a story witnessed a plane crash, and were the first people on the scene.
It was a very realistic show in many respects and I was pretty impressed. But what I liked most was the thought-provoking look at media ethics in the story. It was malodramatic, but handled pretty well I thought.
If only it wasn't on a 12:45am here, I could actually watch it more often. Still, I can tape it.
Anyone else seen the show? I understand it was on Bravo in the US.
Also, in a similar vain is an Australian show called "Frontline" which was renamed "Breaking News" for the US market (confusing). I was a very sharp satire of current affairs shows. Totally worth a watch if you get the chance.
