| Reality Show Pitches |
| 12.17.04 (9:04 am) [edit] |
Since I live in L.A. I have a god-given right to pitch shows, whether or not anyone gives a shit. So here are my ideas for the next wave of Reality TV shows:
"Meta-Reality Show" as in "I never met a reality show that I didn't try to sell" follows a Reality Show (RS) Producer as he/she tries to sell the next wave of RS shows, such as this one.
"Pre-News News" follows the trials and tribulations of a news show before the news airs. Will they make their deadlines, or will the pressure get to them? Will the sportscaster nail the weather girl? And what up with the new anchor? And ratings...bad ratings means the axe for someone and the viewers get to vote.
"Post-News Wrap-up" follows the trials and tribulations of a news show after the news airs. Did they make their deadlines, or did the pressure get to them? Did the sportscaster nail the weather girl? And that bastard new anchor?!? And ratings...bad ratings means the axe for someone and the viewers get to vote.
"One Hit Wonders" finds what those groups of yore are doing today. Are they sick of playing the same song over and over and over?
"WWJ?" asks "What would Jesus...eat, drink, sleep, drive, watch, and other topics" - a different topic each week. The show would have a regular panel of religious scholars plus, to keep the show from being drier than croutons, a floating passel of special guest celebrity has-beens and 2nd tier comedians to keep the yocks coming.
"Class Clash" contrasts the styles and trials of two families. One family is typical low-income, scraping for food and rent, playing the lottery, working hard just to get by. The other family is "privileged", worrying about their tax shelters and where to vacation this year. Let the laughs roll as the families switch places for a month...

I bet VH-1 would jump on the "One Hit Wonders", lol. If they can, with good conscience, air 'The Surreal Life' I think your idea would be a BIG winner!
