"Queen For A Day" To "The Big Donor Show" - A Bridge Too Far
Category: The Latest Baddest
Media Law Prof Blog informs us that the television genre started by Queen for a Day approximately 50 years ago is still flourishing.
[I can still recall the sad life stories of each contestant vying to win the crown, velvet robe, washer & dryer and a night on the town.]
Terminally Ill Woman to Choose Recipient of Kidney on New Reality Show
A terminally ill woman will choose the recipient, one among three contestants, of one of her kidneys on Dutch TV, much to the dismay of many, including some members of the Dutch parliament. Creators of the program, called "The Big Donor Show," said it will highlight problems with the lack of organ donors.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the most recent incarnation of this genre, may have met its match. The Big Donor Show not only has contestants pouring out their individual tales of woe in a competition to win the "prize" of a kidney but also has the kidney donor's terminal illness to ratchet up the pathos.
I suggest The Big Donor Show will, indeed, highlight problems - problems with the lack of taste and restraint of the program's producers.
