L.A Times + CMcC's Take On [CN Real]

[taranchula]

It's not bad in itself that CN is doing reality TV, it's just the fact that they are taking already established reality concepts like Mythbusters and Survivor and just trying to "Kidify" them that gets me, if I were a kid I would be thinking "Now why would I want to watch a cheap knock off, when I can see the real deal?"

Given the ratings I think a lot of kids also seem to be thinking the same way too.

I mean if they wanted to do a reality show, why not do one about, oh I don't know "Animation", it could be something simple like two groups of young art students are both given a chance to make their own animated short, both shorts are judged by a panel of the top names in the field and the winning team gets their short played on the network and a scholarship to an animation program.

There, an idea that potentially could be fun and combines the best of both worlds. But what do I know? I'm not a high powered executive...yet.
