Are they over-producing the show?
TV ClubHouse: Archive: Are they over-producing the show?
Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:40 am     Time and again I'm amazed by what the producers do not include. They seem to think that they can only show the HGs acting wild and crazy, or doing the producers' stupid tricks, instead of the HGs just simply being human and talking about life. That's what I am interested in, not seeing gnomes hang on a string or some other idiocy. They miss so much. |
Jane_Bond | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:02 am     I agree. I think they force the issue too much. I wish they had a proper commentator to contextualize things and then they could focus on the smaller more sociological aspects of being in the house. I think that's how most of us got hooked with the live feeds: the ability to watch and track the very subtle sub-plots that they never explore on the show. I mean, every time they referred to Gerry and his being alienated from the others we always got that slow-mo shot of the hands in the salad and him stuff lettuce in his mouth with his eyes looking around all guilty-like. Too over the top! But, hey, this is a third-rate production company soing it all on the cheap looking for cheap thrills. Why would we expect more? |
Cmc209 | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:55 am     I don't know about over producing the show, but.... Has anyone recognized some of the music BB plays in the background during the shows? Watch this clip from When Dinosaurs Roamed America and you'll be surprised - listen to this background music.... CLICK HERE I wonder how CBS got the rights to use music from a discovery channel show? |
Nutsy | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:59 am     OI - I completely agree, they've edited the show to the point where I feel like there are 2 Big Brother shows - the real one, and the made for TV special. Plus, they continue to show the same shots over and over and over again. You'd think with 24/7 camera coverage they could come up with new clips/outtakes for every show. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 08:07 am     It's hard to understand why they put in the Eric episode last night, when there were a lot of things they could have shown of people who are actually in the house. They did the same thing last year, but I think it's worse this year. |
Sia | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 12:56 pm     OI, was Eric's clip included in last night's show order to keep playing out the romance-story angle BB has been promoting with Lisa/Eric--or are they wanting to stir up trouble should Roddy make a move on Lisa? |
