Also, Martha will ride her bike five miles to work

Just got a press packet touting the Fox Reality Channel, announcing that it is available in 18 million homes (and every single one of them, I bet, gets DirecTV). On the accompanying DVD, showing "highlights" of the Fox Reality Channel, is a montage of clips from the channel's repeats of "Joe Millionaire," repeats of "The Swan," repeats of "Temptation Island," repeats of "Extreme Dating" (?!), repeats of "Cops" ... And coming soon, the accompanying PowerPoint document announced, the Fox Reality Channel's "first original series" -- "Reality Remix," sort of a "Talk Soup" of reality TV clips.

Say this for Fox Reality Channel: It puts the "Re" in "reality."

Seems "Martha's Apprentice" isn't the only NBC show getting its head handed to it on Wednesday nights. As the person who forwarded this to me noted, "NBC execs think that America's Next Top Model is draining away viewers and they'd rather put Martha up against LOST!!"

And from the "E-mails I'm Afraid to Open" Dept, this subject line:
