I don't watch the reality shows...and most of the shows with good writing talent don't make it past 5 years....I miss Joan of Arcadia, Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, Twilight Zone are just some of them...I like being challenged by modern events like in Boston Legal...funny quirky and yet packs a punch

yes it would be real fun, but someone has to spend the big money. Not many of our bygone actors appear to have led a blameless life.

i like the idea and I am sick of watching washed up has beens using dancing with the stars to try and make a come back. Gave up watching that years ago...this sounds young and fresh and perhaps at the end of a year one could vote for their favorite production!!!! Write your idea out properly and sell it to one of the networks. Tell 'em Kabu says it's a winner!!

Fantastic idea!

and saleable, too, I bet, to an industry that devours novelty like gluttons!

Pat

'Reality shows' are a sad desert of the mind, though there are two I am addicted to myself - 'The Deadliest Catch', (for obvious reasons, LOL, which is as 'real' as it gets, and where I would love to spend at least one trip, preferably on Northwestern), and 'Mythbusters', which I can't help getting a kick out of and where I would also love to participate!

And I really like your idea, it's just that the networks will never get off their butts to do something like that...They lack the flexibility...

Great idea!! If they did that, I would start watchng the tube again (even if they don't have hockey sticks in their hands).
