ABC and NBC Fighting Over Celebrity Circus Shows

You know those scenes in apocalyptic disaster movies that show people reduced to fighting over dirty water or a bare-bones shelter or scraps of food to survive?

That’s what it’s like watching the broadcast networks struggling to program their airwaves during the writers strike.

Now NBC and ABC have stepped into the Thunderdome to fight over celebrity circus reality shows.

ABC is looking to revive the 1980s show “Circus of the Stars” while NBC is eyeing the imported format “Celebrity Circus.”

God. Mark Cuban, Omarosa and Heather McCartney learning how to juggle and use the trapeze.

C-list celebrities performing low-budget vaudeville antics for our amusement.

Is this what our proud primetime TV programming has been reduced to?

What are we, British?
