Truckers Reality TV Series

Do you EVER have anything positive or constructive to say?

 

I think he is positive he will not lose any sleep over it

 

ah,duh, Winning!

 

With all due respect, that is exactly the problem. You don't "produce" reality. You produce entertainment. Driving trucks isn't about hand-to-hand combat or hot sex. Or about entertainment. Frankly, your last sentence is more than a bit condescending, suggesting that if you do get into a cab that things will not go well. Hollywood-style arrogance won't get you far out there.

Take "Ice Road Truckers" (Yes, I'm well aware of its popularity.). Lisa misses a gear and can't get up a hill! She has to back down! What will she do?!!! Merde. Everyone watching knows what she'll do and that she'll do it after the next commercial. The only "drama" (precious little of that) comes from the voice-over. Or take that "reality" show about tow truck drivers. There's no there there.

Could you please pitch your concept in more detail? Have you done any background reading about driving and drivers? What have you read and what were your impressions? Watched any truck/trucking documentaries? Which ones? Why do think this will sell? What kind of story or stories do you hope to produce?

 

Warlock, what's your 20?

 

And have Kristy Swanson straddle him like the movie "The Chase".

 

Perhaps you don't realize how insulting your post sounded. Perhaps you do realize it and intended it. Perhaps you're under the misconception that all drivers are uneducated, backwards and stupid. Perhaps you don't grasp that no one does sarcasm as well as drivers and that 98% of the members of this forum could hand you your head back on a platter after verbally detaching it from your neck.

Perhaps you're actually a nice person. But with all the perhaps aside, you came onto a trucking forum and sought help from drivers, we didn't come to you. You came to us and a few began having a conversation and stating their opinions which you've taken exception to. Well my goodness, shame on us we didn't answer your post in the exact words you desired.

Well bless your heart.

I wish you well on your project, but I will be honest and say that I doubt I'll watch. The reason I won't watch is that with the attitude you expressed I realize that you'll not be attempting to show the trucking industry or drivers in a realistic light but in an insulting one.


Perhaps I'm incorrect...........but I don't think so.

 

Yes he does. He also has very good and helpful information that he shares on this forum.


He's also sarcastic and likes to yank people's chains.

 

So eloquently said! I don't think anyone will have to worry about watching as it's doubtful that this "concept" will ever make it to the airwaves.

 

hmmm Pick the one you think fits.

Little Billy: I am 6 years old (only holds up 4 fingers)
Scarlet: Oh honey, bless your heart, but that's only 4 fingers.
Little Billy tries again: I am 6 years old (this time holds up the same 4 fingers and 4 more on the other hand)

Scarlet: Child....Bless you and your momma's heart.
