Television Critics Association gives 'The Chair' top honors

Post-Gazette: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- The Television Critics Association announced its 2015 TCA Awards winners tonight, which included shot-in-Pittsburgh docu-series "The Chair," which took home the award for best reality show.

The series, filmed locally in 2014, followed the production of two films -- “Hollidaysburg” and “Not Cool” -- based on the same original story about college students returning home at Thanksgiving. Viewers got to vote on which film should win a $250,000 prize, giving the award to director Shane Dawson’s “Not Cool” despite “The Chair” executive producer and Greentree native Zachary Quinto disavowing the movie, which he said he found offensive.
