ABC Working On The Runner TV Show
from the big-surprise-there dept
Back in August, Germany put on their reality TV show of Reality Run, which was a Running Man-style reality show where people tried to hunt down a "runner". It didn't work out so well as the runner was caught in under a week. At the time I predicted that the show would be appearing on US television sometime soon, and that appears to be true. The writer, who absolutely gushes over the show like it was the greatest idea ever, doesn't mention the earlier German version. He also doesn't explain what happens to the show if the runner gets caught in the first week. Instead he just goes on and on about how this will be the first real "convergence" show combining the internet and television. I guess he didn't watch Big Brother. Oh wait, no one watched Big Brother.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
