There’s a tidy little piece by James Lileks on the show over at The American Enterprise Online.
Here’s the opening paragraph:

He lists the things you can learn from watching (example: “Best place to look for a bad boy: under the bed in his girlfriend’s”) and then offers some nicely brief and lightly incisive observations about its place in contemporary culture. Worth the click.
