Reality Show: The Antichrist

Two distribution companies are interested in the following idea. Flesh it out and peddle it. I don’t have time to. Choose six contestants, to compete over six weeks, solving six tasks or completing six projects. Bear down on the 666 thing. Offer a disclaimer at the beginning and end of every show, making it clear [...]

Reality Show: Tea Party!

There is a lot of Tea-Party interest and energy out there. This show is designed to draw in viewers who want to learn more about the phenomenon. I’ve been shopping the idea around Hollywood and there is quite a nice little bidding war going on for it between the major reality-show players. The show recruits [...]

Reality Show: When Nuns Marry Nuns

I’ve already sold this one, so don’t bother trying to rip it off. The studio searches the nation, the world if necessary, to find five nun couples who secretly want to get married. A ten-week competition is held. Each week the viewers vote. The winning couple is awarded ten million dollars. Week 1 – Get [...]

Reality Show: Sports Wives

Screenwriters: Write up your reality-show sports ideas and they will make you some money, irregardless of their stupidity and questionable value to the human race on our warming planet. Write them up, buy new cars, and spew carbon while you still can, before the government takes away our cars and makes us ride bicycles. In [...]

Reality Show: An Election

Election time is coming, screenwriters. Time to throw your script into the ring. You can include a scene in it where men throw their hats into the ring. I haven’t seen that in a while. I don’t even know what it means. Anyway. Here’s an idea that I’ve been selling on my professional scriptwriting site. [...]

Reality Show: Funerals

You may have been to one or more funerals (though I hope not). You’ve seen a million of them on TV and in the movies, and they’re all the same. Whereas weddings are all over the place, themewise. This reality show, which I wrote, is now in pre-production. It’s called “Design a Funeral.” There are [...]

Reality Show: Dogs

This is an old idea. Several shows have started production based on it, only to be shut down for one reason or another. Put together the right package and you and your agent will find yourself greenlit before you can lift your leg on the nearest fire hydrant. First, choose the dogs – You’ll need [...]

Reality Show: “1,000 Lbs of Love”

This project has been funded by a broadcast network, but is awaiting the signing of the two protagonists in the show. A special RV sits in Van Buren, Maine, in the farthest north-east corner of the continental U.S. Another waits in Imperial Beach, California, south of San Diego and Chula Vista, in the farthest south-west [...]

Reality Show: “The Love Trip”

Five men and five women in a deluxe RV, traveling from New York to Hollywood. Purpose of the trip: Love. The men and women have been carefully chosen from a pool of thousands of applicants. Although they don’t know it, they share a common characteristic. They are all profoundly disinterested in sex. They aren’t phobic. [...]

My First Reality Show

Well, my first reality show, “Walk the Walk,” is in production. It will pay me enough to live well for a year. It was easy. Just get that initial concept, pitch it to the right guys, and you’re in. “Walk the Walk” is so simple. Each episode begins with five guys in Central Park. In [...]
