More on the Big Tease

OK, remember this post from a few days ago?

Thing number three: The big tease. I can't tell you much about this, but when I can you're going to love it. (I worked with a reporter at Channel 11 who used to do this, and we were all going to gang up and club her to death. Bear with me here.) There is a certain retired detective in town (you all think you know who this is and you're all wrong) who is starring in the pilot for a possible new reality crime show. I saw the pitch and it is fabulous. All I wanted was more. He promises, as soon as there's news, I get it first. (Please read this with a seventh grade smirk.) Tah dah! If you want to verbally club me to death, go to the bottom of this post where it says comments, click on it and whack away.

Well, this series is another step closer to reality.

The Principal On-screen Talent (it pains me to give him this credit) tells me New Dominion Productions is in negotiations with the project's producer, Patrick Bryant, working out a deal to produce a number of these shows for both the American and Asian markets. So what exactly are these shows?

(I watched the pitch reel again and again - it was riveting.) They are murder cases that have been solved here in Colorado Springs, told by one of our police force's retired detectives. (No, it's not the retired detective you all think it is...)

I found it irresistible to see scenes shot in our beautiful city, cut in with (sorry, but it's true) crime scene photos from many of the cases I know so well. Don't mean to be macabre, but it was fascinating to hear them retold by one of those who investigated them. Many of you will be familiar with them as well.

As soon as this deal is finally inked, we get the first interview. We'll do it in webcast form so you can get the full effect.

Comments, questions, clues to what I should be doing? Go to the spot below this post where it says "comments," with no clue that you should click on it, click on it and tell me what you think.
