tv show: On The Lot
Ugh… another hour of my life wasted on this terrible show. With the third season of “Top Chef” starting, a show where you don’t even get to reap the fruits of the contestants labor in any true form, I am reminded of how much more interesting and engaging the Bravo format is. FOX missed the entire point about what makes the creative reality TV ventures so entertaining. We like to see creative people challenged beyond their box, we like to imagine what they had to go through to create what they did, and that way we can actual value what is being created. Top Chef makes chefs create gourmet dishes out of canned ingredients in 30 minutes time. On “On The Lot” we have no idea the time limit, resources, budget, or creative limitations the filmmakers had. How then can we effectively compare one to the other? These people should be challenged to make fun but disposable YouTube shorts… little time, little budget, random props, crazy idea, go. They should be creative exercises… give them a short 1 minute script that is vague enough to be interpreted into any situations. Make them direct child stars, make them work with animals. “On the Lot” should be filmmaking boot camp at its finest. Instead it is a complete and utter failure.
