Maureen Ryan
MTV’s reality TV soap opera The Hills is one of the most popular shows on cable television, and perhaps one of the most polarizing programs on the air today. Are you an LC fan or on Team Heidi-Spencer? Maureen Ryan is a television critic and blogger for The Chicago Tribune, and she’s with Faith Salie on Fair Game to explain why the show is so beloved by Generation Y, and pretty much despised by anyone over the age of 35.
