Not to worry -- this isn't about Simon, Randy, or Paula. I'm not talking American Idol here. Nah, I'm talking real people, real cases, true litigants ... and so much more! You see, I'm generally off from my day job one weekday a week. Of course I have to watch television. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it, right?

I just never got into soap operas. Well, there was that period decades ago when I spent the summer home with a broken foot before the advent of the internet. But I digress. What I watch these days during the daytime hours tend to be the judge shows. Well, to digress a moment again -- WGN airs Homicide: Life on the Street at noon here. I can't miss that, of course. But then it's justice served. Who judges the judges? I do, naturally!

Donald Trump is apparently throwing his hat into daytime TV by starring in a television show in which he mediates disputes regarding money. The half-hour series will be co-produced by Reveille (Ugly Betty, The Office) and is looking to make a fall 2008 debut.

Despite his showmanship, Trump isn't that great a businessman. If he was, he wouldn't need a television show (or multiple ones, as it were). He has had more failures than successes and given that the market in daytime TV (stay-at-home moms) isn't exactly his demographic, I have my doubts about the ability of this show to be successful.
