In the process, it underscored the new reality of TV's New Reality: oddball, cheap nonfiction programs, from game shows to voyeurism stunts, are elbowing aside sitcoms and dramas.

AACF specifically exists in order to minister to the needs of the Asian American community at Harvard, offering a setting that encourages students' exploration of Christianity and other faith issues in the context of their Asian American cultural identity.
