Oct 29 2009I'd Watch It: LEGO Reality Show Coming?
Allegedly there are several LEGO-themed television shows in the works. What does this mean? It means THERE ARE SEVERAL LEGO-THEMED TELEVISION SHOWS IN THE WORKS. Geez, stop trying to read into things, this isn't a mystery novel.
Variety reports that reality TV producer Scott Messick has teamed up with the Lego Group to build a series around the popular toy.
Messick has plans to create several non-scripted programs -- including a documentary-style show about the "Lego Masters", three men who are paid to travel the world building huge Lego constructions, as well as a game show based on a line of Lego board games released in Europe.The theme park Legoland could also be the new home of a competition-based reality TV show in which contestants are eliminated on an episode-by-episode basis.
In August, Lego announced that it is developing a live-action movie based on the toys."
Listen -- if they can make a show around LEGO, they can definitely make one about Geekologie, right? I mean, I do interesting stuff. Like this morning I got up and had a multi-vitamin with my coffee. It made my pee so green! Aaaaaand CUT -- that's a wrap.
Lego: the reality TV show?! [yahoonews]
Thanks to Grace, who is the textbook definition of herself.

lol they ran out of ideas for shows, and are resorting to plastic building blocks for ideas...whats next? A sitcom about grass & the insects that live within, and give it a hokey title "Johns T. Lawn". bwahahahaha!!! >:D

There is no way a live action lego show could do anything but suck. Sorry.
