I am honored to author the chapter on Reality/Unscripted Television for the recently released legal treatise, The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law: Dealmaking. This multi-volume guide covers virtually all of the legal issues encountered in the entertainment industry, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book for everyone from experienced practitioners to non-lawyers alike! Visit eg2el.com for more information! As I point out in my chapter on Unscripted Television, “Reality television plays perfectly into human nature, and our fascination with the lives and interactions of regular people doing seemingly regular things, while interacting with each other and the world” (Page 187). I believe that the success of a show, such as my company’s show, Restaurant: Impossible is due largely from being able to elicit excitement to an audience from seemingly mundane events. #Entertainment #Dealmaking
