'Together' displays irony of reality
By now, we all know what happens when seven strangers are picked to live in one house for six months, but what happens when these seven strangers are animated? The concept of animation might seem completely opposed to the idea of reality, but no challenge is apparently too great for Comedy Central, which recently launched a new animated series called "Drawn Together." The show marks a first attempt at combining cartoons with reality TV, but hopefully this first attempt at animated reality will also be the last. The series, which is the story of eight animated characters picked to live in one animated house, most closely resembles MTV's "The Real World." The dialogue can be witty at times and certainly achieves its purpose of exaggeratedly mimicking the behavior of real-life contestants on reality programs.
