CBS Gives 'Undercover Boss' a Second Season
'Undercover Boss,' the new CBS reality show where CEOs flip burgers and haul trash and spy on their employees to see how it's really like to work for their companies, is doing well in the ratings so the network has given it a second season. Of course, now we are all wondering how they are going to pull this off. The longer the show stays on the air, isn't it logical to think that employees will wonder who this new employee is and why there are cameras following them around?
I wonder the same thing about 'Throwdown with Bobby Flay.' If someone from Food Network says they want to film me and do a special about the great things I can do with pasta ('Playing with Pasta!'), I would immediately think "oh, this must be one of those deals where Bobby Flay is going to show up and challenge me."
Office fans go Wikipedia happy
First Stephen Colbert, now The Office.
On a recent episode of the NBC comedy, boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell) went to Wikipedia for tips on how to fire one of his employees. So fans of the show have, naturally, gone to the site and started to edit the entry on negotiations like crazy. Because, as Michael put it (I'm paraphrasing here, don't remember the exact quote), "having a bunch of people edit a web site is best way to get accurate information."
New reality show will be set in Macy's
At this point, I think I've become numb to the deluge of reality programing that still continues to hammer us. I liken it to being repeatedly shot at pointblank range. Eventually, it doesn't matter how many bullets have entered your body, because you've pretty much just accepted they're not going to stop and there's nothing you can do to stop it, anyway. Still, Unwrapping Macy's is allegedly different than other reality shows because it's the first one to make a corporate retailer the centerpiece of the show. The series, which kicks off on September 30 on the WE network for an initial eight-episode run, will offer a look into what it's like to work at the store. You'll see how they choose merchandise, put together their catalog, and force homeless people at knife point to inflate the Underdog balloon every Thanksgiving. My god, that sounds absolutely riveting.
