Question: What the heck have they done to Bravo? The network has been completely destroyed. I loved The West Wing, Project Runway, Inside the Actors Studio — heck, even the first season of Blow Out was mildly diverting. Today, while waiting anxiously for the next season of Runway, I am served a diet of endless marathons of The Real Housewives of Orange County (possibly the most revolting show ever), real estate shows, workout shows, etc. There is no programming but these marathons! The West Wing is never on. My friends who like Top Chef will kill me, but except for the occasional Kathy Griffin special or show, a network I used to watch all the time is never on in my home. Are their ratings actually up? And what happened to NBC having a boutique network arm? Will I ever see Josh and Donna again?
Answer: Your primary gripe against Bravo appears to be the fact that The West Wing has been taken out of rotation, which I would guess has something to do with the fact that it probably doesn't

James Lipton, Inside the Actors Studio
James Lipton is a man of many talents — not to mention many words. Over the past five decades, the octogenarian intellectual has worked as an actor (he appeared on Guiding Light for a decade), an author (in addition to writing for numerous soaps, he also penned two musicals and a number of books) and an instructor (as dean of the Actors Studio Drama School). Yet despite his diverse accomplishments, he didn't become a household name until he began hosting Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio 13 years ago. Not only has Lipton managed to attract showbiz's biggest and brightest names to his stage (everyone from Sondheim to

Question: A&E and Bravo have abandoned the highbrow entertainment they were created to showcase for the more lucrative waters of lowest-common-denominator reality shows, but they are just some of the latest examples of this phenomenon. Niche cable nets start out aimed at a targeted audience, often providing the only example of certain types of programming, but after a few years they start moving inexorably to the mainstream. MTV goes from videos to endless Real World-type shows. VH1 goes from videos to repackaged nostalgia shows. The Nashville Network turns into the National Network then morphs all the way into Spike. The Game Show Network becomes GSN, the Outdoor Life Network (which I hadn't heard of until it made its move) becomes the new ESPN. Even outfits that don't totally change their "mission statement" start adding their own versions of Survivor or American Idol. Is the money in niche programming so lousy that these networks have to make the change, or is it a case of their ...
