I think this is the first time that I've ever been excited about a reality show. Well, as excited as I can get over a reality show anyway (though I always thought of it as more of a game show than reality).

The Mole, the ABC reality show hosted by Anderson Cooper several years back, is coming back to the network. The same company (under a different name) will produce the ten episode series, which they plan to run during the summer.

A few years ago, when Survivor-mania was at its peak and eating rats still made shocking television, I felt somewhat alienated... because, well, I just didn't see the appeal of reality television. However, that all changed when a program called The Mole arrived on ABC. It was smart, challenging, and featured a silver-haired host by the name of Anderson Cooper. Finally, a reality show worth watching.
