Monson Goes ‘Undercover’ –Cagle

The television-viewing public has reached a saturation point with reality television, from wannabe singers and dancers to finding Mr. or Ms. Right (or Wrong), or the bevy of game show topics including cooking, fashion design and weight loss.

But, every now and then, a show comes along that offers some redeeming qualities that exceed mere entertainment value. CBS has one such show called “Undercover Boss,” in which the president or other high-level executive from a major business (sometimes national or even global) undergoes a physical transformation to disguise himself/herself and gain employment within the firm at a more granular level.
