On Television

The Apprentice is interesting because it is at least vaguely similar to life-like situations where you have a project to run and a team of coworkers. Of course it's also very unrealistic because you are given lots of support on the one hand and on the other you may have no background in a given task (nor anyone on your team). Also, you don't normally get what might be called an impossibly brief timeframe to get a project done, and then when your sales are a whopping $10 less then your competitor, you are deemed the "loser" and one of your teammates must be let go! But still, it is about making business decisions that I think most people can kind of understand based on common sense and it's interesting to come up with what you would have done differently in order to make the project work better.
