When I first heard about the show iCAUGHT I thought it was network’s weak attempt at trying to ride the YouTube wave. The name and graphics just screamed that they were trying to hard. Tonight I watched the last part of it by chance. It was great.

The last package was the most moving. It was called Your 3 Words or y3w (see what I mean by trying to hard). It actually made me tear up. The premise is simple. People send in a video of their week summed up in three words. I thought I was nuts so I sent it to my friend Jenna and she cried too. What’s most amazing is that you know nothing about these people yet with three words you can feel their pain and in some cases relate to them.

The first story that I saw was on these two guys who do special effects. Was pretty neat but not really my cup of tea. The next package was on Second Life. I’m not a huge fan of Second Life (granted I’ve never tried to play it) but this was the first story that made me realize how people can become so attached to it. John Berman et. al. did a great job showcasing various people who really treat Second Life as well a second life. Click here to watch that story.

A job very well done. Just change the name of the show and the graphics it feels too much like Extra or Access Hollywood.
