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

encouraged to read the

"Summaries" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-19-02 AT 06:05 PM (EST)OK, "Push, Nevada" is a new kind of show for us -- a "scripted interactive drama." What that means is that the media whores on this show are PROFESSIONAL media whores, not the amateurs that we generally get to mock on RealityTVWorld.com. Nevertheless, it makes sense to me that we should write summaries for this show. Supposedly, the show is trying to give us hints and clues about where to find the missing money (I expect that it will be in a suitcase behind Parma Pierogies in Parma, Ohio, but what do I know?) -- so we should give the show something in return ... an "unreality check," so to speak. Anyone interested in writing a summary for one of the episodes in this show should post in this thread.

Well, you probably won't be able to write much after the new baby is born, so ... would you like to do E1 of this?

4. "RE: Summaries" |
First of all, thank you AyaK for guaranteeing me an S5 summary. {{{{{{{{{{{{AyaK}}}}}}}}}}}}Hi, I'm willling to throw my hat into the ring, only if it will unseat Survivoreist from the the 3rd spot--j/k. Seriously, count me in. I won't say yet, which episode I prefer, just that I don't want it to be at the same time as my S5 summary. What I am hoping for, is to do a later summary for Survivor 5-Thailand--preferably--Episode 8, and an earlier one for Push, Nevada. It is not necessary to accept everything as true, one must only accept it as necessary. |=In Rocky *I* Trust Light a Virtual Candle~~~~~~~~~~~ Eleanor Roosevelt: No one can make YOU feel inferior without YOUR consent!

13. "RE: Number of episodes?" |
"Anyone note the coincidental timing of Mole:Celeb to air between the Push:NV seasons??" Now if ABC will just leave PUSH to air in the same time slot as The Mole...we will all breathe a little easier! BTW...AyaK I will be happy to contribute an episode summary if you are short writers. I would prefer advance warning if possible!! (Note pad & VCR at the ready!) Regards,

14. "13 is right" |
From the ABC press release for the show:Each episode will have new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist, viewers following "Push, Nevada," the mystery series, will also be able to play "Push, Nevada," the game. Every episode of the show will hold clues to solving the mystery, beginning with the premiere episode, "The Amount." At the end of the 13 episodes, the winner of the mystery contest will be able to claim the stolen money. So ... 13 episodes is right. Thanks, sleeeve. Hey, have we ever posted the whole press release? Other than plugs for LivePlanet, here's the plot synopsis: Mild-mannered IRS agent Jim Prufrock (Derek Cecil) travels to a remote desert town in search of missing money and stumbles on a place where mystery, danger and peculiar characters lurk around every off-kilter corner. Everyone has a secret in Push, Nevada, but no one is talking, unless they're telling Jim to get out of town -- fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture could hold a clue to solving the riddle of this tiny Nevada town. The mystery begins when a fax from the Versailles Casino in Push is sent by accident (perhaps) to Jim, alerting him to a sizable accounting error -- and an embezzlement scheme involving a fortune in cash. Casino honcho Silas Bodnick refuses to talk about the missing money, so Jim's investigation leads him to Push, where nothing is as it seems. Push is a town where neighborhood couples indulge in synchronized romance each night at 9:15; where the only casino, the Versailles, pays out the biggest jackpots in the state; and where the lonely look for companionship at "Sloman's," a slow-dance bar. It's there that Jim meets Mary (Scarlett Chorvat), a beautiful and enigmatic woman who tells him that the mystery of Push is, "like all the best secrets, not quick in the telling," and warns him to go home before he gets hurt. A determined man, Jim plans to find out what mystery lies behind Push, no matter what the risk. All along the way, a shadowy team of high-tech operatives monitors his every encounter with the town's denizens. Sounds like "Twin Peaks" meets "Murder, She Wrote."

15. "RE: Summaries" |
Ok, I can't believe that I'm about to step of a cliff here, but I would humbly like to offer my services.*getting down on one knee, "May I please have a Push summary so that I may join the most awesome ranks of official summary writer?" Having never summarized a show, I have no preferences as to which, if any, episode I get. I would just be extremely grateful to get one so I can cut my teeth! Thanks for the consideration!

20. "We'll see" |
My original plan was to have you write a summary late in the 13-episode run of PN (which would give you a few weeks gap after your S5 summary), but I'll wait and see how your "switching" works out.

28. "RE: Ten in, three to go" |
AyaK, from the Push, Nevada schedule; I got the impression that the first episode is Sept. 17 & the second on the 19th--the sme as for Survivor 5--Episode 1.I assume you could take this to mean that every Push summary which falls on the corresponding episode of survivor, is one number later. Therefore, Ep. 2=1, 3=2, 4=3, and so on. I am currently scheduled to write an S5 summary. S5 # 5=PN summary # 6. There is a possiblility that OFG may switch eps. with me. She is current;ly scheduled to write S5 summary #8=PN summary #9. Until I hear back from her, I'm also trying to get hold of Survioreist who has S5 #7=PN # 8. What I'd like to ask is that you give me summary # 11 or #10 in the meantime. Since Episode 11 is not scheduled yet, I forsee no problem. Thank you, TB. P.S. Is my sigline the right height? I've asked sleeeve this as well, but in OT you said that any sigline not extending beyond 65 pixels in total (quotes, etc.) would be acceptable. |=Unrepentant Hardcore Smiley ThiefIt is not necessary to acept everyting as true, one must only acept it as necessary.

25. "RE: Summary Judgement Executions" |
>Well, i need need to volunteer. But first, some facts >need to be answered: > >1. is this show on? Starts in September, same week as Survivor. >2. when? E1 will air the Tuesday before Survivor debuts -- E2 and all subsequent episodes will air Thursdays at 9 PM, right AFTER Survivor (except on a different network, ABC instead of CBS). It'll be competing with CSI head-on. >3. how often? Weekly, unless it gets canceled. >4. what network again? ABC >I suppose it's a requirement to actually watch the show to >write a review of it. Damn those stickling contract >particulars. Actually, I've written summaries of shows that I didn't watch. But it's much easier to watch the show before writing the summary!

27. "RE: Summaries" |
Ayak, If you still need another volunteer, I'd love to try to write a summary. If the spots are filled, it's ok. For all of the Ben Affleck fans that are out there, I believe I saw a commerical that stated he was one of the producers of the show.

29. "Preliminary Tentative Summaries" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-23-02 AT 02:44 PM (EST)Since I don't know the dates for this show, it's hard to do a final schedule. I also don't know when Teddy_Bear will do her Survivor summary. But, here's a very preliminary episode schedule: E1. PepeLePew13 E2. Silvergirl1 E3. trigirl E4. magic_star E5. Ra_8secs E6. buckeyegirl E7. Bebo E8. RedLady E9. YumYumsAngel007 E10. Strider E11. Teddy_Bear E12. Asrai E13. TBD (I'll ask someone to write this one) One problem with this schedule is that if Teddy_Bear really shifts to E8 of Survivor: Thailand, she'll have to move to a different episode here -- methinks that E8 of S5 will take place the same time as E10 of Push, Nevada. There's another possible issue. This show could get canceled at any time. If ABC could yank Mole 2 off the air arbitrarily after only 3 weeks, then PN could be dogmeat by E5 or E6. That's why I scheduled all of the people who applied to write summaries of other shows (Silvergirl1, trigirl, Ra_8secs, buckeyegirl) to handle episodes prior to E7!

31. "RE: Preliminary Tentative Summaries" |
Thank you, Ayak! I'm so happy to have been given the chance to do a summary. Ep. 12 is great with me. But, if for any reason, somebody needs to switch to a later episode...I'll be happy to oblige. Like I said earlier, I'm easy (ummm, that's not what I meant,) I'm flexible (oh man, that sounds bad, too,) I'll do what you need me to do (oh, nevermind...you get the picture!) Heehee! - will soon be in the ranks of the great summary writers of SB! Woohoo!
