As Pat just recently informed you, Chris Cooley has gotten his own reality show. But his show may face some serious competition in the reality TV market if this idea gets the green light.Michael Vick is pitching his own idea for a reality show right now.
Yes, Mr. Dogfighting himself is proposing a docu-series would follow him starting July 20, the day of his scheduled release from federal custody, and show him trying to “make amends for his past.” Something tells me that high stakes dog fights won't be a part of of it.
Now, Vick is of course doing this because he's flat broke. His attorneys even told a judge this month at a bankruptcy hearing that Vick has agreed to a “television documentary deal” that will pay him $600,000. But apparently Vick wants even more than that. You may be thinking he'll be lucky to get anything, but apparently the demand for a Vick reality show is pretty damn high:
The Vick reality marketplace appears to be larger than that of the other tabloid figure seeking a reality-show bailout: Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, who despite headlines suggesting otherwise has struggled to find a cable network willing to adopt her into their programming family (more on that shortly).
I don't really want to watch either one, but whatever.
The good news, if there's any in this, is that National Geographic is already running “Dogtown”, a reality show that chronicles the attempted rehabilitation of Vick’s 22 pit bulls. If we're lucky, one will wind up on Vick's reality show...and promptly bite him in the ass.
