Get Ready for More Burning Love
The internet series Burning Love will return for season two and three, according to an announcement made jointly by Paramount’s Insurge Pictures and Yahoo!. The web series which pokes fun at reality TV dating shows was written by Erica Oyama (Childrens’ Hospital) and directed by Ken Marino. Marino also starred as the show’s firefighter bachelor who had his pick of ‘lovely’ ladies to choose from in season 1.
“At Yahoo!, we program based on insights about what our users want to watch,” stated Erin McPherson, VP and Head of Video at Yahoo!. “We knew we found a hit with Burning Love given the caliber of the talent and the subject matter—and it was proven shortly after the launch with all the binge viewing that took place. We’re excited to offer two more seasons of it to our audience.”
“The success of Burning Love is a testament to the unparalleled creative team that delivered a truly hilarious series and set a new bar for original digital entertainment,” added Amy Powell, President of Insurge Pictures and EVP of Interactive Theatrical Marketing for Paramount Pictures. “Yahoo! did a tremendous job of getting the series in front of their audience, and we are thrilled to be working with them to bring the next two seasons to fans.”

Showtime Debuts a Reality Show
Ready for another reality show? Showtime hopes you are, however, the reality show they’re bringing you is one with a twist. Reality Show, an 8-episode miniseries, is set to debut on November 1, 2012 at 11:30pm (ET/PT) and is described as “darkly satirical” – a description not often associated with a reality series.
Adam Rifkin (Mousehunt, Underdog) wrote, directs, executive produces, and stars in the miniseries. The cast also includes Scott Anderson and Kelly Menighan Hensley.
The Plot:
Reality Show follows Mickey Wagner (Adam Rifkin), a down-on-his-luck reality show producer, as he crafts a sensational comeback. Fed up with how staged and phony reality shows are, Mickey hatches a revolutionary idea to pick an average American family and put them under all-encompassing surveillance…without the family’s knowledge.
The concept is to let real life unfold before the cameras. However, the family is numbingly boring. And the studio wants more sizzle. So Mickey starts to introduce drama into the unwitting family’s lives. Temptation to cheat, drinking, work problems…. chaos ensues. Everything unravels in a big, big way with shocking consequences.

Howie Mandel is Ready to ‘Take It All’
Howie Mandel is getting back into the game show business with Take It All, a new series that will have a one-week run on NBC during the December 10-14, 2012 holiday week. The show’s set to air at 9pm ET/PT, finishing up with back-to-back episodes at 9pm and 10pm on December 17th.
Due to the updated schedule, The Voice will air a one hour version instead of its usual two hour show on December 10th and 17th.
Details on Take It All:
In the show, a contestant selects and opens a prize worth thousands of dollars; dream prizes such as luxury cars, exotic trips, jewelry and VIP experiences. Then, the next player is faced with a dilemma: do they steal a prize that has already been revealed, or do they take a chance with another unopened prize, hoping what’s inside is worth more?
But that’s just the beginning. When there are only two contestants left, the players have a life-changing choice to make: keep the prizes they have — or try and take all the prizes. If both players choose to “keep mine,” they will each keep the prizes they have won in the prior rounds. If one player chooses “keep mine” and the other chooses to “take it all,” the player that chose “take it all” will go home with all the prizes — theirs and their opponents. But if both choose “take it all,” they both go home with nothing. The stakes are insanely high as each contestant grapples with the choice of a lifetime.
