William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series
Gildor writes "The small town of Riverside, Iowa has long billed itself as the birthplace of James T. Kirk. So they were thrilled when William Shatner came there to film a Star Trek prequel about the early life of Kirk. Except there was no movie. After about 9 days, Shatner announced they were actually filming a reality TV mini-series."
That's because his fanbase is a wad of pedantic, overbearing, irritating nerds. And have you ever SMELLED a trek convention? Yeesh.
As for reality TV, those of us with an IQ >= 100 find them inane and pointless, but that still leaves over half the country drooling for them. They're great for networks because they dont have to pay for writers or actors.
