Jamie Lee Curtis vs. reality TV

CurtisThe actress uses her second contribution to the Huffington Post fray to decry the proliferation of "elimination-based" shows. "I understand there is a good side, a jubilant winner getting their shot at fame and fortunes, but the bulk of the watching, I gather, is some communal elimination where the audience gets a hand in the stone-throwing," she writes. What caught my eye, though, is that Jamie Lee Curtis claims not to watch TV.

I need to admit that I don't watch TV..have never seen a single episode of Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, American Idol,..well, you get the idea. I don't even know how to turn on my TV as there is now something called... Input 1 or 2 or 3 and I have no idea what to do.

OK, I don't watch reality TV either. But maybe she shouldn't be writing about it.
