"On the lot"

Since everyone's all chatting about American Idol, I thought I'd ask if anyone had stuck around to watch the new reality show, On the Lot, that followed AI. Wendy and I watched most of it, and were actually pretty interested in the concept (50 amateur filmmakers get a chance to compete for a film contract), and may just give the show another shot on Thursday (coupled with the new So You Think You Can Dance). You just know it's going to be good when there are already heroes and villains after the first episode.

(One thing that I didn't like, however, was Carrie Fisher's strange teeth: she looks great until she opens her mouth, when she transforms into Princess Leia's botoxed grandmother...)

I haven't been a filmmaker myself since my early teens (ah, the good old days of Barbie slasher films...), so I am curious to know what I missed out on. And since most good TV is absent again until January, will you all commit to watching On the Lot with me? Is that so much to ask?

I've commited before. I'm a friend of Lindsay's from blogging. I watched the show and really liked it, too. Glad you liked it and hope to come here and see what you think. Have a good one.

The last episode was pretty good, although I'd really like to see the full movies they are creating. Glad that the big jerk got eliminated though...
