PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Summary writer sign-up thread for ABC's The Benefactor" |
This thread is the episode summary writer sign-up thread for "The Benefactor," which premieres Monday, September 13 at 8PM ET and will be consist of X episodes. And as a bonus, Cuban -- the founder of HDNet -- made sure the show was filmed and broadcast in HDTV, making it the first reality-competition show to do so (Burnett's "The Casino" was the first and only other reality show to, so far, be broadcast in HDTV... at least that I'm aware of...)To sign up, please post your interest in this thread, as well as any applicable date restrictions that you may have. Writer selection will be arbitrary, sorry. Please note however, that we are also running open sign-up threads for several other shows, so if you are planning to reply to more than one of the above mentioned open sign-up threads, it would be helpful if you could note the other shows in your reply, so that we can try and ensure any proposed schedule doesn't schedule you for back-to-back summaries, commit you to more summaries than you were expecting, etc. As a reminder, while all our summary writing is on a volunteer basis, etc. reliablity, timeliness (or at least status communication) is important, and that while we can't offer anyone any $$$, we do occasionally partner with companies to promote stuff and, if we can, I do try and pass some of the goodies. Based on our previous Fall summary thread, the following folks have already expressed interest and don't need to post again: - Draco - I_AM_HE (maybe) - ssshaw - Estee - survivorscott (vaca 11/4-11/11) - kpod - jack_bauer - Lisapooh ...I'm still trying to find out exactly how many episodes the series will be, but I think it's eight. Any questions, please let me know. Thanks, SB

4. "2nd HDTV show?" |
Wow, brave people risking this compared to how the first HDTV show with ridiculously rich guys went, 6 other people and myself actually had to watch that monstrosity to do some summaries. I envy your courage. At least it can't be any worse. --- <== A Missionhockey21 creation

8. "Proposed The Benefactor summary writer schedule" |
OK, folks, with Scott withdrawing due to hurricane concerns and, from what I can tell, the show being a 7-episode series, I've scheduled the following. Since Apprentice is the only other Fall show that has already had its schedule posted, there wasn't much conflict potential, but I made sure that both Estee and Lisa's summaries are a couple of weeks away from their Apprentice episodes.Episode 1 - Monday, September 13 - Draco Episode 2 - Monday, September 20 - ssshaw Episode 3 - Monday, September 27 - I_AM_HE Episode 4 - Monday, October 4 - kpod Episode 5 - Monday, October 11 - Lisapooh Episode 6 - Monday, October 18 - jack_bauer Episode 7 - Monday, October 25 - Estee Please reply below confirming the above episode works for you. Thanks, SB

LAST EDITED ON 10-11-04 AT 09:01 PM (EST)Lisa/vols, don't know the answer to either of your questions yet -- ABC put out a release this afternoon mentioning the Reeves special, but there's no mention of Benefactor plans... MEDIA ADVISORY A SPECIAL EDITION OF "20/20" WITH BARBARA WALTERS -- "CHRISTOPHER REEVE, A TRIBUTE TO COURAGE" One-hour Tribute to Air Tonight, Monday, October 11, 8:00-9:00 p.m., et, and Following "Monday Night Football" on the West Coast on ABC Barbara Walters will anchor a special tribute tonight to Christopher Reeve who died yesterday of heart failure. "A Special Edition of 20/20: Christopher Reeve, a Tribute to Courage" airs tonight, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET, and following "Monday Night Football" on the West Coast) on the ABC Television Network. Best known for his movie portrayal of Superman, Reeve, 52, became a worldwide advocate for spinal cord research after a near-fatal riding accident in 1995. He spoke about the accident for the first time in an interview with Walters that year, and the two spoke on camera four additional times, most recently last year. It was during this last awe-inspiring interview that Reeve took out his ventilator and breathed briefly on his own. Tonight's one-hour special will feature some of the most memorable moments from Walters' interviews with Reeve, will look at the struggles Reeve faced in his recovery possibilities and how he pushed the envelope, and will examine his legacy in scientific research and interpretation of stem cell research. ABC News will also speak with friends and co-workers, explore his career and look at the incredible love story with his wife Dana. Reeve once told Walters that he thought it was possible that he would walk again, but if he didn't, "...either you do or you don't. You just play the hand you're dealt. Sometimes you get a lot of face cards, sometimes you don't. But I think the game's worthwhile, I really do." In his final interview with Walters last year, he said: "Being physically paralyzed for eight years, I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons. You know, all the reasons people don't become what they could become or don't fulfill their potential, and they're walking around able-bodied, I'm going, 'come on, come on, go for it.'" Reeve and Walters not only shared a friendship, they shared a birthday. The executive producer is David Sloan. (CLOSED CAPTIONED)

24. "Updated schedule" |
OK, so the word from ABC is that in addition to last week's preemption, they are cutting another episode from this show in order to get it off the airwaves before November sweeps, meaning that it will now end as a 6-episode series (apparently, despite my initial 7-episode scheduling, ABC says it was originally planned to be an 8-episode run)Unless Lisa or Jack have issues, the remaining episode assignments will remain the same, with the dates just changing and unfortunately, Estee being bumped off the schedule -- meaning the new schedule would be: Episode 1 - Monday, September 13 - Draco Episode 2 - Monday, September 20 - ssshaw Episode 3 - Monday, September 27 - I_AM_HE Episode 4 - Monday, October 4 - kpod Episode 5 - Monday, October 18 - Lisapooh Episode 6 - Monday, October 25 - jack_bauer Lisa/Jack, let you know if you have issues. Thanks, SB
