Ray and I started watching this new reality show and it's pretty good, so I wonder why the ratings are so bad. I'm not a fan of the American-Idol-format (which, thankfully, has been trimmed down because of poor ratings), with long winded presentations between contestants, frequent commercial breaks, and a full hour for the elimination process, but the concept is good.
A bunch of wannabe directors compete for a $1-million development deal at DreamWorks (that is, Steven Spielberg) by casting, writing, producing, and directing their own short films every week. One by one they are eliminated by the audience, which votes for its favorite films. The one with the least votes, is cut.
Some of the films are very good, others are weird but interesting, and then there are those that aren't so good. Usually their directors get the boot.
Anyway, give it a try, it's playing till the end of August. You might enjoy it too.
