FX to Develop Esquire Column Into Reality Show

Everybody’s doing it so let’s do it too. That has always been the mentality of television programmers and it is no different with FX. They have struck a deal with Esquire magazine to produce a reality series based the magazine’s “What It Feels Like” column. The column covers first hand accounts of topics such as Tourette’s syndrome and shark bites. As this moves from Esquire to FX, there is no doubt in my mind that this will turn into “What It Feels Like to Find Out My Wife is Transvestite”. The glory of lowest common denominator reality television. Oh sure, ratings will be great. Another indicator of the unfortunate mentality of most people in this country.

Sociologist Erving Goffman’s research on what he called civil inattention found that the small, wordless adjustments strangers make for each other in shared public space, stepping aside, angling a cart, holding a gap, function as a form of social coordination just as real as speech, even though nothing is ever said.
