KTNV reports a new reality TV show is being planned. It’s entitled ‘Trailer Park Housewives.’ The show promoters are saying it will be based in Las Vegas. The show’s producer/creators have experience in reality TV, including: Gigolos, The Gun Store, Goodfellas Bail Bonds, Gold Diggers and Bachelorette Party: Las Vegas, Way Out, and Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop. In a ‘talent call’ plug potential participants are told: “The series follows the lives of sexy blue collar housewives, who live a trailer park lifestyle. From a self-proclaimed “Queen Bee” whose home is 3 feet longer than anyone else’s and doles out orders much like a modern day “Lord of the Flies” to the innocent newbie trying to fit in…Your husbands or significant others should each have “Vegas” type jobs such as: Realtor, bus driver, blackjack dealers, concierge, nightclub industry, zoo keepers, be in the witness protection program, former or current mob family members, been an extra on CSI more than 5 times, an attorney, poker player, work at a strip club or casino…The somewhat gray areas of the law that go on within the Trailer Parks fence reads like a combination of COPS, CSI, Judge Judy, Pawn Stars and the 700 Club all sprinkled together. A six-pack of beer, some video poker and a temporary restraining order are quality entertainment in these houses on wheels… Submission deadline for ‘talent’ is October 1, 2011. As one manufactured housing industry observer stated in a post on LinkedIn: “This show is going to set the industry back a few years if it is popular.”
