Wink, wink: Maybe ABC will start a new show: "The Bad Wife"
A slow moving summer TV news cycle, coupled by some legal proceeding that didn't go CBS way, have given us some faux press release fodder.
After losing its lawsuit to stop ABC from launching "Glass House" -- a very similar summer reality show to CBS' "Big Brother" --CBS sent out fake release for show that would seemingly "copy" a big ABC reality effort: "Dancing ON The Stars".
This show will feature -- what else? -- "moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen."
What's that, you don't think that's good enough? Ah, no problem. CBS is also supposedly cooking up a new half-hour comedy: "Post-Modern Family."
