Following announcements by CBS
and Fox that
they're bringing back,
respectively, "The Beverly
Hillbillies" and "Green
Acres" as unscripted reality
shows, comes word of WB's
plan to similarly revive
"Hogan's Heroes,"
using actual U.S. soldiers and
real Nazis. They better expand their
mailroom.
NBC has ordered new episodes of
"Supertrain," but this
time the melodrama stars real
frightened passengers on a real
Amtrak train facing real
life-and-death situations. On
UPN, a reality-based version of
"Friends" will see how
long six aimless, unemployed
Gen-Xers can afford to live in a
$3 million apartment in
Manhattan.
And ABC, which is owned by Disney, chimes
in with what may be the most
unusual premise: a 24-hour camera
trained on a mouse, a duck, and a
dog, all dressed like humans. My
money's on the dog.
Good viewing! |
