LAX shutdown
Had a quick read of a news sippet announcing that NBC is cancelling the "LAX"
show. It is a big blow to Heather Locklear as I suspect she had bet a lot on this show. It wasn't a low budget show. (She was also producer). I did like the scene where one guy is inside a 747, then opens the door to the outside and it is the rear door of a 727 :-) (not quite as bad as the usual movie scene showing a 737 on the outside and a 747 with stairwell to upstairs lounge in the inside :-) Obviously, NBC will replace it with some reality show. I think that the US media have decided not to do anything but crime and/or reality shows. BTW, talking about reality shows, Trump Hotels are under bankrupcy protection while donald trump reorganises the debts. Last year, when his show started to air, there were already articles about his upcoming financial problems with his older hotels/casinos (which were featured in his TV programme). For this season, they had touted Delta as being one of the partners where the unpaid actors will have to perform. |

Reality shows are a hit with all the networks as they dont have to pay the
writers blood money like they do with regular dramas. "nobody" wrote in message ... Had a quick read of a news sippet announcing that NBC is cancelling the "LAX" show.

There is a minor tradeoff from the producers perspective in that syndication potential is very limited. Although someone was talking about starting an all-reality programming channel recently. No, I don't meen the Food Channel! |
