Saturday Night, Up for grabs..

Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
NEW YORK (AP) -- The state of network television on Saturday nights has become so dire that ABC has essentially put a prime-time slot up for auction to anyone who has a compelling idea -- as long as it's done very cheaply.

ABC has put the word out to Hollywood producers that a Saturday night home is available to a program that can be made for no more than $500,000 an episode, which is about a quarter of what the traditional comedy or drama costs.




Can they do B5 for less than 500k/ep? come on, saturday night.. primetime.. major network, THE TIME IS NOW!

or not..

    And that's before inflation. Scifi, because of the effects almost always involved, is terrible for budget telivision because you need to spend money on creating a world.

    Now what the world [i]really[/i] needs is [i]another[/i] CSI.

    i want to do a show almost exactly like survivor, but when the person gets voted off, the rest of the tribe kills and eats them, i think there would be a good market for that.
  • I really see no point in survivor...If they get voted off its not like they actually HAVE to leave... I'd go guerilla & try to get the natives to help me raid the horde camp. They'd never get me off that Island thats a real SURVIVOR!

    I think whats needed is an actual "reality" TV show. Basicly the cameras just pick somebody and stalk them for a few days. :D
  • HEy I'd be inclined to do it I hitched two rides today wonder if it would help me get laid like bangbus scenario...
