This maybe "Boston's Funniest Reality Show". It may also be the only one for now. Since MTV's "Real World" did Boston in the butt sideways without lubrication about 10 or more years ago, it seemed like Boston was being over looked by the reality TV world.
But just like most fads and trends everyone needs a crack at it and now Boston/Cambridge/Somerville/Charlestown/Revere/Malden/etc. has it's turn. " Quiet Desperation" does a pretty good job of being humorous and over generalizing the Boston music scene. There are all kinds of characters: acoustic troubadours, DropKickMurphyesque dudes, Label execs, struggling musicians, struggling comedians, their pathetic lawyers and agents, old has-been radio djs, token black guys and fat guys, and some eye candy every once in a while. Within the hyperbole there are lessons to be learned. Like, why did WBCN go the way of the desert bleached skull. Maybe because they played Nuhvana and Linkin Park 10 times a day.
Making "non reality" seem like reality is not as easy as it seems. There are still storyboards and plot lines and character development that must take place. "Quiet Desperation" is actually entertaining and worth a watch or two.
