So much for the "reality" in reality television. CBS's latest attempt to put every last television writer on the dole: Armed and Famous, where would-be celebrities (Jack Osbourne from The Osbournes?

Something this creatively bankrupt really should be the death knell of "reality television," but it won't be.

The city will be installing 22 surveillance cameras, to join the 33 already posted, at seven high crime intersections, at the cost of $275,000.
