Coffee Break #24: “Reality Check”
I’ve grown to love this fictional SH1 channel in the Hero Business universe, broadcasting all manner of vapid super-hero-related shows. I could probably do a whole storyline around the ridiculous “Superwives of Metro County.”
And thanks to my pal, James Williams, for the extra “Housewives” intel that fueled this comic.
Oh no Eli, really?
When you really think about the content, it makes perfect sense Malefactor would love these shows. ; )
Oh No you didn’t….
Fighting in a Birthday Charity :O
Well we were going to see something like this eventually, I dread when they finally get around to poking fun at “Reality TV.” And on a side note I would just like to say Reality TV is not all that new, if you have ever watched the news you’ve been watching reality tv way before the pegged reality tv shows.
Yeah. Game shows were/are “Reality TV” and a lot of “Reality TV” is souped-up game shows (Bachelor, Amazing Race, Survivor all have game show DNA). Talk shows of the 80s and 90s are largely a precursor to Reality TV, too. The funny thing is how unreal and semi-scripted these shows have become!
Why do get the feeling this going lead to a story arc?
Because it’s on my list? Heeheehee.
Brilliant strip! I love the time crisis charity gala. I’d love to see a Herobiz Reality TV version for heroes trying to make a comeback after being retconned /shelved in the latest time crisis/reboot. The possibliities are endless.
I feel I could do a whole spin-off comic about the SH1 network! It’ll be my own “Joannie Loves Chachi”! On second thought, let’s aim for more of a “Frasier”-level success… ; )
