It all began with "The Real World," "Cops" and "America's Funniest Home Videos." Now we have people eating goo on "Survivor," families churning butter on "Frontier House" and men choosing brides on "The Bachelor." Reality T.V. has certainly come a long way...or has it? Laura talks with Susan Murray, assistant professor of culture and communication at New York University www.nyu.edu and co-editor of "Startling! Heartbreaking! Real!: Reality TV and the Remaking of the Television Culture."
