[Shane Ross] "This is happening everywhere. History Channel...now doing NON-history stuff. Ice Road Truckers? Axmen? This is HISTORY? Oh...wait, they have a new tagline now... "History made every day." Ahhh, NOW I get it. "
And it's also a way for them to tap into Original Productions which, to their credit, has had a slew of cable hits and have been one of the top programming providers for the Discovery networks for years. I actually liked the very first season of Ice Road Truckers because it was something I had never heard of before and they actually had some interesting characters. But now it's all about pretending something big is about to happen after the break with a big letdown when you see it was just something minor. Modern Marvels is still one of my favorites on History.
[Shane Ross] "Noooooo... they make a REALITY SHOW where they CAST people from 5 states, put them in a warehouse in LA, made it "post apocalyptic LA" and told them to "survive." This is THE COLONY. "
Yep, one of the worst show concepts I think I've ever seen. Kind of reminded me of Junkyard Wars just without all the humor and entertainment.
We're actually concentrating on PBS for the majority of the shows we're pitching right now because there's a real sense of working together AND we get to retain ownership of the shows.
