True TV launches a new reality show which follows the life of a regular guy 24/7. The show becomes a hit when its star Ed falls in love with his brother's girlfriend on live television. Ron Howard's modest satire is The Truman Show Lite, so to speak. It takes a more conventional approach to making a TV show out of someone's life, but, as plausible as the concept sounds, you cannot believe these characters for one minute.
