Get real, GSN viewers

A faux tweet reminds us of that reality slate slowly working its slouching way toward GSN.

War of the Rose Sisters got a mention in GSN's upfront presentation. But the show is now apparently on track to the network's schedule. At least they've put out a casting call and scheduled taping in June. The project sounds vaguely like a Pawn Stars ripoff, with a couple of auctioneering sisters in Toledo, Beth and Pamela Rose, bidding on items brought in by civvies. But the sisters are supposedly competitors, hence the "war" between them.

Yeah, the idea sounds lame to me, too. I know, I shouldn't prejudge. But GSN does have a history of making bad hash of reality projects like this.

Meanwhile, the GSN Internet board ties itself in knots because not enough old game shows get onto the schedule. Hey folks, you better worry about any traditional game shows getting GSN air time, regardless of production date. After all, this Rose sister stuff is only the first of the reality projects surfacing from the upfront. There's a lot more where this one came from.
