The Bravo show was awful, but not awful enough for TV. A new, 'awfuler' show will take its place. Ever since the 19C artists and writers began to merge real life and art, the vulgar and depressing side of real life has always outpaced art. Art can never match real life in that respect. However, art can be good at reaching beyond the grasp of real life --- its aspirations and ideals -- and that's where we always find the best art. wc
