An exclusive glimpse into the scandalous and luxurious lives of Los Angeles’ most notoriously famous family, the Kardashians. A fresh documented celebrity series that will be synonymous with fashion, glamour, and beauty. The series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, abbreviated KUWTK, will concentrate on the lives of the sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie. The cameras will follow the Kardashian sisters, as they navigate through their dysfunctional relationships, family drama, and disastrous marriages. The Kardashians will take us into the most intimate aspects of their lives, in a raw and authentic fashion. The series will begin with the aftermath of Kim’s at home sex tape with Ray J, Kourtney’s boyfriend being spotted with another …show more content…
The series would benefit from a sizzle reel rather than a concept reel because we will be using actual footage instead of easily acquired generic footage, which would then lack the sense of how dynamic this family is. The sizzle reel is also more engaging than a PowerPoint presentation deck, which would be like a lecture rather than a compelling strategy to get buyers excited for the show. A Presentation (shot but non-airable) may be effective as well, because it is a bit longer around 5-15 minutes, which will give the time to really show the look and the feel of the series, but the only con is that it is more expensive. The casting reel will be footage that will be an edited into a video between 1-5 minutes long with a compilation of all the Kardashian sisters quickly describing their lives and then cutting into the drama and tabloids each one of them is a part of, to show their ability to hold more than enough intrigue for one …show more content…
The main selling point of the series is that the star will be Kim Kardashian. This is a marketable element because her and her family already have a fan base. The series could possibly use the same director as one of the Real Housewives show. Some possible sponsors could be any beauty or weight loss brand. Finding a sponsors that will not compete or endanger any current sponsors already present at the desired network is very important. Pitching a show is the art of walking into a room filled with a few business executives and advising them to invest in producing ten episodes of KUWTK. In this sales meeting this is the only opportunity to get the buyers excited enough about this product to actually want to make this idea a reality. The marketing hook is “Try to keep up with us in a dash.” The hook is a play on words with the title, as well as their last name. This will leave to the audience intrigued in what craziness will unfold in the next
Television viewers have more viewing choices than ever before in deciding how to spend their time with television. In recent years, reality television has become a popular genre for viewing audiences. According to Nabi (304), reality television programs, "film real people as they live out events (contrived or otherwise) in their lives.” One popular subgenre of reality television is romance-based competition shows. These shows typically follow a contestant on their search for love and as they choose between a group of attractive suitors. Over the course of an entire season, the lead contestant eliminates the group of suitors until only one-suitor remains and the couple becomes engaged.
Since the beginning of time itself, Television has been one the most influential pieces of media that the world has ever encountered. The beginning days of television depicted stereotypical mothers cooking and cleaning their homes for their husbands and children. Yet, as the decades passed, television took a dramatic turn, leaving the days of drama free entertainment as a vast memory. Now a day, however, when one hits the power on button to Bravo, the screen lights expand to ritzy socialites dealing with their everyday lives as “housewives”. Bravo TV’s hit number one reality television show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, deals with the everyday lives of modern-day housewives. When speaking of these women and their family life, the reality series shows its viewers that family life in modern times is dramatic, full of misrepresentations of how people are perceived, and that fame comes at the cost of family.
Duck Dynasty is similar to reality shows that focus on the everyday life of people in a peculiar setting. Both Jersey Shore and Duck Dynasty focus on the development of each character as they endure the challenges of life in their respected setting. While these two shows are polar opposites in subject matter, they operate similarly. Both provide insight on lifestyles that are not considered the norm, and as a result, viewers find enjoyment in broadening their understanding of the world’s differences. While viewers may not be duck hunters or Jersey shore citizens, they enjoy the representations of other lifestyles beyond their own. Although Jersey Shore and Duck Dynasty share similarities, other reality television shows operate differently. Survivor, while an extremely popular show, is driven by competition. Each season consists of new contestants who attempt to survive the elements in a remote location in an attempt to win the grand prize. Cops is another popular reality TV show that follows police officers through drug busts, arrests, and shoot outs, and the majority of the show drastically differs from the goal of Duck Dynasty. Cops can only be compared to Duck Dynasty if it is viewed as a tool to draw positive attention to police officers. While policemen and women are often criticized for any misstep, Cops provides viewers with an alternative look into their lives that highlights the
Every one of these people are more talented than a million Kardashians combined yet, their ideas are never heard. Kim on the other hand, she created an app that raked in a cool $85 million. Now, if it did something worthwhile, that would be one thing. However, it was a useless pile of garbage.
You guys know we’re currently shooting season 12, right?! This isn’t THE end, just the end of season 11, don’t be sad. #KUWTK #finale,” Kourtney wrote on her Twitter account.
... be an advert for that product because of the large number of people watching it.
It seems that you can’t turn on a television set anymore without a reality show being on. All networks have recently started to pump out reality shows left and right. And why wouldn’t they? Reality shows are highly rated, with three of them being in the top ten on the Nielsen ratings chart. In fact, these shows are becoming more popular than the sitcoms and dramas aired. New sitcoms and dramas struggle to get attention of the public when going against a reality show. Programs such as The Beast and Go Fish, which critics loved and raved about, are victims of the wrath of reality shows. These shows are now cancelled.
So, now you might be asking yourself what show came twenty-five years after Candid Camera? The next broadcasted reality television show was An American Family. This show was written about a California family, the Louds. You would probably never believe it but this show captured it all! It showed many personal experiences in the loud family such as the parents divorce and lifestyle of their gay son, Lance. An American Family played an extremely vast role in exposing society to a more diverse and supposedly real representation of family life. This was just the beginning of unstable families shown on television. Later shows like The Simpson’s and Roseanne branched off from this family idea (The Original Reality).

Relationship Between Soap Operas and Reality TV Dating Shows Tania Modleski’s “The Search for Tomorrow in Today’s Soap Operas” proposes that the unique appeal and function of soap opera lies in (a) the viewer’s ability to inhabit the text’s prescribed spectatorial position of ‘the good mother’, and (b) using the archetypal ‘villainess’ to displace one’s own repressed anger and powerlessness. It can be argued, using Modleski’s analytical perspectives on the interpellated spectatorial positions of soap operas, that a new genre of television programs (namely the reality dating shows) function in a similar way. An examination of Modleski’s thesis renders these statements more likely. Modleski argues that soap operas are essential in understanding women’s role in culture.
The event also features unaired episodes, never before seen pilots and specials. The idea is a brilliant way to promote new ventures and attract more audience without necessarily advertising the new

"I think what saved me is being honest. I think I somehow had the courage to do something and to say something that I knew would possibly end my career. Instead of making business more important, I made my soul and my life more important. And I think by being truthful, and being honest, that saved me"- Ellen DeGeneres . Ellen DeGeneres, well-known for her humorous talk-show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, is not just any comedian; she is defiantly one of most inspiring and touching key figures in the world. Every day she is teaching our society about equality, kindness and empathy to make the world the most loving place it can be.

This show is a big hit and not just in the United States, but are people taking the show to literally?
