Upcoming strikes shift summer TV schedule
By Frazier Moore AP television writer
NEW YORK — The bad news with a strike by TV writers imminent and by actors possible as early as July, fresh episodes of scripted dramas and comedies could be in short supply for months to come.
Why not a courtroom show where such lawsuits could be adjudicated where they belong: in front of a TV audience?
The good news: lots more game shows and reality fare!
CBS sues Fox for allegedly ripping off Survivor with Boot Camp. Survivor washout Stacey Stillman sues CBS, claiming the producers rigged the game to get rid of her. The Los Angeles couple booted from Fox's Temptation Island because they have a child are suing the show's producers, claiming their scenes were unfairly "edited and manipulated."
- Reality Lawsuits. Where there's reality TV, there's litigation.
Rather than such favorites as The Practice and Prasier, look for Survival III and Temptation Island II, more Big Brother and The Mole.
As the networks scramble to come up with enough strikeproof programming, here are some of the new shows they might consider:
It's just a matter of time: Under the guise of "Phoning a Friend," a shifty Who Wants to be a Millionaire? contestant phones someone who is only a casual
acquaintance. Watch ABC sue this reprobate for fraud when Reality Lawsuits premieres.
The Schadenfreude Show. NBC's new game show Weakest Link is the latest evidence: We love to jeer at life's losers ("You are the weakest link," snaps acerbic host Anne Robinson. "Goodbye!") as we banish them from sight.
Its title borrowed from the word that means "glee at another's misfortune," The Schadenfreude Show aims to rub salt in the wounds of deserving subjects.
Another source of TSS satisfaction: the squalid yet tedious XFL Football, a misadventure in pigskin hooliganism that repeatedly dragged NBC to its lowest prime-time rating for any show or any night. Ever.
TSS would chortle at Bryant Gumbel's Early Show ratings (and short-lived beard). Giggle at CNN for signing former actress Andrea Thompson as a Headline News anchor — a hire made all the dicier after nude photos of her surfaced on the Internet.
TSS would rejoice that MTV has been hit with another round of criticism for Jackass, its weekly celebration of dumb and often dangerous misconduct.
Meanwhile, TSS could barely suppress chuckles atany Jackass viewer impressionable enough to tape a life-threatening stunt in hopes of getting on the show — like, maybe, the 16-year-old Kentucky boy who was nearly killed when he stood in the path of the car his friend drove into him.
