CBS Greenlights Two New Reality Pilots
Look for more divorce and crime in CBS’ future primetime line-up. But In this case both will be real.
The Hollywood Reporter says that CBS has given the go ahead to develop two new reality pilots. One is called Splitsville and will be executive produced by prank show king and actor Jamie Kennedy. The other, still untitled project comes from Tom Forman, the creator and executive producer of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and executive producer of CBS’ Kid Nation.
Splitsville is reportedly a game show for couples going through a divorce (since that is ALWAYS entertaining to watch). The divorcing couples will battle it out for their own belongings in a series of challenges. It’s described as The War of the Roses meets Let’s Make a Deal.
The other project, by Tom Forman, is a bit more serious. It reportedly features a team of law enforcement professionals who help people who have been crime victims.

Just last month CBS announced it has ordered three other new reality series: Game Show in My Head, a bi-weekly celebrity talent show called Secret Talents of the Stars, and a dog competition show called America’s Top Dog. Those three are slated to air this year; no word when we’ll see the other two shows.
CBS currently has three reality shows in fairly permanent rotation. They are reliable favorites The Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother - a show to which the network presently devotes 3 hours a week.
