I've got a great idea for a network TV show! Let's take some washed-up B-movie actor or actress and put them into a show where we'd see what would happen if they lived a normal life like the rest of us! Yeah, that's the ticket! People would watch that in droves, because we all know that people want to see shows that mirror their lives rather than use TV as an escapist method.
What? It's already been done? By every major network? Many times, you say? Well, I'll be damned.
