Reality programming needs a dose of reality:: [Final Edition]

Abstract

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who championed the Greenlight concept, theoretically drew inspiration from their experience as the Oscar-winning writers of Good Will Hunting. Yet more cynical observers see the entire experiment as a case of Hollywood striking back, with [Pete Jones], and now [Efram Potelle] and [Kyle Rankin], having essentially been set up to fail. A disastrous film shoot, after all, makes for a more engrossing TV show, which is arguably the more significant component when you amortize the film's puny $1-million budget over a dozen episodes.
