Perhaps in the hands of a Mark Burnett or Bert Van Munster the "action" can be dialed-up as a spectator sport, no? Ads competing for immunity challenges from being shipped off to exile island? a race around the world to find out how the best advertising spreads? there's a reality tv show idea in here somewhere, and only for a few of us who'd tune in and watch ;)

advertising eats itself as entertainment don't you think? we're always the poster children for the creatively mediocre and morally bankrupt in film and tv. could reality tv change that? maybe better telly if that's the whole point .seen the gruen transfer?

haven't seen the gruen transfer. looking into it now. appears there's a 2-disc set now available and a 2nd season is scheduled? must've had a good response in AUS. interesting.
could reality TV save us? probably not, at least here in the states. i'm no TV exec, but if it's gonna be packaged as a reality show on the ad biz, viewers will want to assume/see that there's a dirty underbelly, the morally bankrupt ad execs trying to get viewers and "consumers" to buy more shit.
however, there's also opp to show the good. there's talk in our industry about doing more than just "good work" but, if we can get to a place where we are "doing GOOD."
a friend just started over at a new start-up ad shop in LA, called Neighbor. they're about "doing GOOD." more about it here: http://tinyurl.com/5faqle
could this make for good reality TV? maybe just in the AUS? or perhaps now w/our new President, and new outlook on the future, we may get there, one can dream, yes?

Old Guns? I mean no computers? Creative Challenge seems so futuristic in comparison, but those young folk of today love retro/vintage.

YGs involved plenty of foam core and cardboard, but there were computers here and there. Some v good work here and there. i'll post about it later today.
