The Shade Of It All
For weeks CBS tried to stop ABC's Big Brother knock-off The Glass House from seeing the light of your TV screen. CBS felt like ABC pulled some copyright infringement shit by basically copying everything about Big Brother and hiring former BB producers. Those bitches at CBS tried everything. They went to a judge, tried to get a restraining order against ABC and even left a severed Mickey Mouse costume head in the beds of every ABC executive. It didn't work. The Glass House aired on Monday, I watched it, I felt ashamed, I voted, I felt even more ashamed for voting and CBS is madder than ever. There's not much CBS can do at this point except spill the tea. AND HOW! The C in CBS must stand for cunts, because they went all out in a fake press release where they announced their two new shows Dancing ON the Stars and Postermodern Family. This has to be the funniest thing CBS has ever produced. via Deadline:
CBS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF “DANCING ON THE STARS,” AN EXCITING AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL REALITY PROGRAM THAT OWES ITS CONCEPT AND EXECUTION TO NOBODY AT ALL
Los Angeles, June 21, 2012 – Subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, CBS Television today felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.
The dazzling new show, DANCING ON THE STARS, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.
The cemetery, the first in Hollywood, was founded in 1899 and now houses the remains of Andrew “Fatty” Arbuckle, producer Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paul Muni, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, George Harrison of the Beatles and Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, among many other great stars of stage, screen and the music business. The company noted that permission to broadcast from the location is pending, and that if efforts in that regard are unsuccessful, approaches will be made to Westwood Village Memorial Park, where equally scintillating luminaries are interred.
“This very creative enterprise will bring a new sense of energy and fun that’s totally unlike anything anywhere else, honest,” said a CBS spokesperson, who also revealed that the Company has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air. “Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we’re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, POSTMODERN FAMILY.”
“After all,” the spokesperson added, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
There's already a Dancing On the Stars. It's called Lindsay Lohan forever tap dancing on Marilyn Monroe's grave.
Okay, I love that CBS is putting the pain they feel in their chapped asses into words and I love the bitter bitchiness they're throwing at ABC, but do they realize that they're fighting over The Glass House. I've seen The Glass House. That piece of shit show isn't worth fighting for. That's like two day-shift hookers fighting over the worst corner on the ho stroll or two sluts fighting over a dude with erectile dysfunction. Besides, every show copies every show. Glee copied Kids Inc., Finding Bigfoot copied Khloe & Lamar, etc, etc...
That said, I'd totally watch both of CBS' fake shows.
Loopy, I'm liking this casting couch agency idea! I guess we better get to it Loops!

3 surprises ? hmmm *scratches head* wonder what they've got up their sleeve..??
Maybe one of them is Chenbot removing the stick up her butt and getting some sort of personality ... ;)
Ophelia: I can't wait for the return of BB, either. On the commercials, they mentioned that there's going to be 3 new surprises or some crap like that. I'm with you - stop with the gimmicks that give players an advantage so that the producers can dictate the outcome- and just play the game.
Is it just me or does The Glass House seem really scripted? I wouldn't be surprised if this show was 100% scripted and everyone on it was an actor. I don't think they are trying to copy Big Brother as much as they are just making fun of Big Brother.
Glass House is a pathetic knock off of the BB. I was only able to stomach 10 minutes of it. It will tank. Trust.
3 more weeks until BB. Hopefully they will not bring back past houseguests or exes or long lost siblings and retire the saboteur. I rewatched Season 2 with Dr. Evil last week. It was bare bones, nothing fancy just straight up social game. *sigh* too bad they feel the need to add these stoopid twists.

you and I, should become casting directors, and um "interview" the talent.
Loopy, HH, yes, please cast Jesse Metcalfe, Benjamine Bowers, David Gandy, and let's think of two more...
Revenge, only if AC actually does the "put a ring on it" dance straight off, then he has to recreate scenes from Showgirls
Grey's A, well depends who the dicks are. The partner we know, but the others? Are they Hugh Jackmeoff types or Tom Hanks? lol;D

i think the Grey's Anatomy is a winner, i mean the prize is just unbeliavable, plus you can suck 10 dicks and nobody will call you a slut, cuz you are doing it for a TV show.
Loopy, those shows don't sound half bad, I'd watch at least two of them. lol
MK, you voted on that mess? ;p
These DRAMA Queens should stop fighting for peanuts and start getting some creative juices flowing, what dumb bitches!

I was a skinny, pink preemie. I looked like an earthworm until I was two months old.
I could care less about all these awful reality shows, but that was hilarious. This just reminds me why I love my Netflix!

they can remake the desperate husbands, where a couple of married and single suburban men with hot boddies, do the gardening in cut off denim shorts showin their ass cheeks, and try to find wives but they cant.
or remake Revenge, where a girl sees her father get murdered at the Hamptons and she goes back and hires two black FBI officers and they pretend to be 3 white chicks and take the hamptons by storm and they dance off to beyonce's crazy in love against the Anderson Cooper and his mother gloria vanderbilt at the night club.
or Grey's anatomy, where a contestant (gay or straight) is blind folded and told to suck 10 dicks in a row and one of the cock belonds to their partner, and if they can pick the right cock, they win a trip to cleveland.
I gotta love that CBS response.
So bored of corporate PR vanilla responses, this CBUS tantrum was funnnyyy.
I watched Glass House. It was beyond awful and had the silliest questions for the audience to "decide" such as: do the guests get a pool party or a pajama party? Do they get Mardi Gras beads and boas or cowboy boots to wear? Seriously. And the one guy that's already trying to start shit flipped his strategy halfway through the episode and you can just tell that he was the kid nobody invited to their boy-girl parties in sixth grade.
Lindsay Lohan's costar's nalgas flew her so close to the sun that they both exploded into stardust that still lights up Hollywood.
nice! but fatty arbuckle was not named andrew....

Fuckery is what fuckery does.
I remember when reality shows first started coming on and I thought no. fucking. way. would this catch on and become the future of television. Well, fuck me. Here we are...
But, I am glad one of them said FUCK YOU to the other station, because now, they're all the same and it really doesn't fucking matter, does it?!?!?!???

Fuckery is what fuckery does.
In other network news, Ann Curry's been fired...finally.
Is this a fucking joke?!
Gebsus I'm glad I don't get tv at home :\
I can come with better original ideas for shows, dancing on a grave is all shades of wrongs
I will pay for tv only if they get rid of reruns, remakes, reality tv and nasty commercials so ummm never
What a low class spokesperson they must have. Keeping it classy!!!!

That is pure gold. Gold I say! Are you sure you're not doing contract PR work, MK?

I can totally see that. MK would be amazing at snarky press releases, and we'd actually give a shit about them!

Loiuse - yeah, a toilet will be in the center of the room, and not for using. Defecating will occurr in some other artsy manner...
Yeah, the "toilet" will probably be a couch or a giant banana or something equally confusing.
I tried to watch this mess TWICE, but just couldn't. TEAM BIG BROTHER

Is playing a cunt on the internet as satisfying as wanking into your mum's nightie? Because something tells me you'd know all about that.
Who the hell is Andrew "Fatty" Arbuckle? Fatty's real name was Roscoe.
CBS demonstrating a sense of humor?!?! Could it be that all this time, Andy Rooney was calling the shots over there, and now that he's gone CBS is gonna be the Side-Eye Network?
Can they change dance on the stars to slap the stars? I would tune in and vote on that show...

This is amazing because they went full-tilt bitch and snark in a fucking press release. That is ballsy and very Ari Gold of them. I don't give two shits about the underlying story.
I have a glow about me loving it. Could be the vodka, who cares.
CBS should bring Celebrity Big Brother over from the UK. That would probably shatter that glass house and I might just tune in.
I tried to watch The Glass House......it was beyond horrible
That's funny. That said, CBS should take NO pride in Big Brother.
Oooo, that's shady!

Blah I'm hot. Poopeeeeee.
I vote for Dancing ON the stars - while they are still alive. Let's start with some flamenco on Blohan and the Kardasshians
What a loss.
That's hilarious. They think calling some random Palin child a star is the same as dancing on the graves of real stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and that's pretty accurate!

To add insult to injury, E! News tweeted for everyone to "tune into The premier of Glass House tonight on CBS!" and then had to tweet an apology when ABC informed thier asses that The Glass House is on thier network not CBS. LOL.

Ok, fighting over moronic and mediocre tv shows? Once again this is why I DONT watch network and most cable channels.
@ Weezy...throw a little Dada in there and you might have something:)
I can't remember the last time I watched CBS.
They sound like my kinda people!

OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!!!
Whatever they're on I'll have two!
If they got Fatty Arbuckle's bones dancing like a marionette...maybe...
LMAO!! I would totally watch PostModern Family. I imagine there being lots of uncomfortable German furniture and terrifying art.
I'm pretty sure CBS adapted big brother so it is not like it was their original idea to begin with.
