The Changing Face of Reality to Fiction
Written by Brenda on September 18th, 2007
We have been hitting this tune a few times this summer, in anticipation of the upcoming premiere of Bionic Woman, but this is one of the more interesting articles on the subject. The idea of the article from the Kane County Chronicle is to look at the transition from reality TV to fantasy TV with shows like Heroes, Lost, and the upcoming re-make Bionic Woman. It is so interesting to see the trends of television, in the past we have seen more and more reality shows, those started fading, and now we are seeing a lot of the new shows with more of a comic book or super powers to them.
It is interesting to see this new sci-fi trend which is sweeping across all networks, especially that of NBC which has its full lineup on Monday of super power, sci-fi genre shows as well as with Bionic Woman the remake of the 1970’s classic. It should be interesting to see if this trend continues, and if Bionic Woman can reap off of the success of the genre.
