From "The Sopranos" to Springsteen to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," the NY Times says "if you want real reality, not silly poseurs sneaking into the White House, there’s no better place to find it than New Jersey." Robert Galinsky, head of the New York Reality TV school, agrees: "If you went through all the casts of people on reality shows, you would find more people from New Jersey than any other area, except maybe L.A. People from New Jersey run the gamut. They’re eccentric, they’re from rich areas and poor areas. Maybe it’s because they’ve got that chip on their shoulder because of New York, but they always put out that little extra effort."

"Glee" ends with what seemed like an anti-cliffhanger

"You would think that any show going on hiatus for four months would set up plenty of teasers, if not outright cliffhangers, to keep us interested over the break," says James Poniewozik. "You would think that most of all about Glee, which spent most of its brief life to date piling problem upon calamity upon twist …Instead, 'Glee' changed up, and gave us—besides a couple of exultant performances and a heart-stopping smooch—what was almost an anti-cliffhanger. The wedding's off; the losers won; the show choir is united. The question instead is: what problems are they going to run into the second half of the season?"
