Octo Mom Signs Reality TV Deal
Us Magazine - May 29, 2009 7:44 PM PDT

Describing the as-yet untitled show as a quasi-reality TV series, Czech said that the production company, Eyeworks, was moving ahead to make a deal with a network.

They might be several shows aired during a year. There are all kinds of possibilities. It really depends on what the networks want," her lawyer said.

And don't forget that she will be pregnant with another litter before Season 2!

5. Each week she and Bristol Palin demonstrate a different abstinence technique.
Which brings us to the question of what happens after week 2?

29. LOL! What does "abstinence" have to do with Octomom?
She never had sex.

8. As if there wasn't enough garbage on TV.
This was bound to happen sooner or later, what's the point of having 8 kids if you can't cash in?

12. Reality shows finally hit bottom
Edited on Sat May-30-09 10:24 PM by lunatica
I hope she sinks the last nail in their coffin. I hate those fucking reality shows. There's nothing real about them except the idiocy of the participants. Remember the stupidity of women competing to marry a millionaire? I don't watch those shows but I know all about how they got married and he wasn't a real millionaire and she wouldn't consummate and ran off and annulled the marriage while he thought it was true love. Then she had photographs taken on some beach with fake hair or something. Both of them seemed to have been swallowed by some black hole somewhere.

I know all that and I never watched the fucking show!

16. Why not, she has generated a lot of threads here, obviously people are interested
Does not matter the reason why, people devote a lot of time to it, which converts into advertising dollars.

19. I'm not surprised...
People here said she'd be ostracized and soon fade away. My response... "We'll see."

A large segment of the population LIKES trash.

21. From eyeworks.tv (USA) page:
Says they're:

"Committed to producing television that is not only appealing but of superior quality, Eyeworks 3Ball shows have been nominated for four Emmy Awards, and have aired on NBC, FOX, CW, MTV, VH1, Discovery Kids, Animal Planet, and TLC.

Our credits include: The Biggest Loser, Endurance, Unan1mous, For Love or Money, Breaking Bonaduce, Scott Baio is 45... & Single, The Pick Up Artist, Age of Love, Petfinder, Groomer Has It, Beauty and the Geek and I Know My Kid’s A Star. "

Huh. I thought she had a deal in the UK. Maybe it's one and the same.... I don't see this working out too well in the US, especially after all the Gosselinsanity. Poor kids. Ugh.

22. The Sicko looks like a cross between Janeane Garofalo..
And a Grouper..

Get a total ICK feeling when I see or hear her, like stepping on a big fat cockroach while you're barefoot..

Getting shivers thinking about that face plastered all over TV.

Will there be an episode where her doctor gets jailed & disbarred?
