Tale Weaver # 97: (un)Reality TV 08.12.16

Love it. Hate it. Watch it anyway. (un)Reality, unscripted television has come to define the viewing experiences of a generation or two.

When Canada decommissioned it’s lighthouses, I thought of getting a reality tv production company interested in forming a show around my husband and I going to live in one of these isolated structures. The drama would already be there: we fight a lot, I have health issues. The scenery spectacular. My husband is a birder so there could have been a subplot about preservation and conservation; I’m an historian, so I could research the building, and I’ve lived with in haunted spaces.  But I never did write that proposal.

Tale weavers: create a reality tv tapestry – what is the concept? What would actually happen during a “typical” episode? What makes this show “different” than the 1,000s of other (un)reality shows? Is there a catch phrase, like, forgive me but – “You’re fired!”
