Make Reality TV Great Again

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Chronicle of Higher Education spread the idea of a reality TV show about academe. Despite my initial tryout, I have yet to hear from producers or agents. Until then, I develop ideas here. In this video, I tackle the familiar problem of writer's block.


Reality Show Tryout

The Chronicle of Higher Education wonders if academe would make a good reality show. I figured I'd get out in front of the auditioning process in case a show gets green lighted. Considering that professors read a lot, here I am doing some morning reading in my kitchen. I suppose things could get exciting if a producer sneaks in and gives me a cocktail and creates conflict with my neighbors. Any good reality show needs drama. There will have to be spats with family members, neighbors, students, and colleagues. America needs to see what a two hour committee meeting looks like.
