Check OnDemand Showtime Specials... I found it last night.
KB, many props. You were genius. There were many funny moments and I definitely enjoyed it overall and laughed hard at a few points. I think you played it well throughout as the "heavy" but the protagonist writers sometimes felt a bit forced and their "holier than thou" attitude was ultimately a bit contrived since when things go wrong they fall apart but don't fully follow through in the epiphany of the key irony of what they were doing... namely that "reality tv" is even sleazier than porn could ever be. Instead, you get the impression that they still feel like reality tv would be a more honorable profession - witness that last "pitch" scene, it is like saying "reality tv is ok but starving people was probably a bad idea" so it kind of deflates the whole thesis that they had been building throughout. I guess that makes them hos and not pimps ultimately, lol.
I did love the interview segments though since there were plenty of funny lines/observations there.
One other beef though... You drop a lot of names but you should've dropped HOMEGROWN VIDEO. That was reality before any of the names you mention. It was reality before even mainstream reality shows like "cops" etc.
Aside from that though, congrats!
