TV History Unearthed

This week, the long-running CBS reality show Survivor made its season debut. The series is especially controversial this year, with the producers' decision to separate the tribes by race.

It's not a Survivor first, however. I recently came across an old issue of TV Guide from the show's very first season. As you'll see from this ad, the program has always pushed the envelope on race relations.

Survivor: Birmingham

Always helps to look back, doesn't it? Granted, Jeff Probst is a very different host than George Wallace.

In the same vein, I'm looking forward to the American debut of Germany's new hit, Dancing With The Semites. Should be fun.

Hope you don't mind I put a link to your blog in my most recent post on my blog. I was inspired by this post.
