Sensational TV shows give us a sense of superiority
By Debra Goldman’s
Was anyone really surprised to learn that Rick Rockwell, the most televised groom since Prince Charles, was both more and less than he purported to be? In a perfect world, the producers of the sweeps supernova Who Wants to Marry a MultiMillionaire would have found some nice, normal, attractive multimillionaire who, as Rick himself put it, was filled with “the desire to find love on a television show.”
The problem, as Fox belatedly learned, is that looking for love on a TV show is not the kind of thing a nice, normal, attractive multimillionaire is likely to do.
