The Interpreter Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 ... Hall's job consists of dealing with the park's 20,000 visitors a day. During filming that took place during the summer, Hall prevented people from cutting in line, dealt with drunk patrons and broke up fights. Over three months, Hall ejected more than 500 people from the park for breaking rules and dealt with thousands of irate visitors. Dorney Park spokesperson Charles Hutchinson said the park has a confidentiality agreement with TruTv that prevents them from discussing the show until it airs. He would only say the show "features one of Dorney Park's full-time employee's and his passionate dedication to his job." He said the park's part of the series will revolve around "difficult guest interactions," and how Hall worked to resolve problems. http://blogs.mcall.com/tvwatchers/2009/10/...utv-series.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshawne Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think this will be a real eye opener to those who think that is a gravy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Given TruTv's history of shows that aren't, well, Tru (Operation Repo, anyone?), I have no doubt that this show will be at least a little bit overdramatized and/or staged for TV.

Erosarrow05 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 This sounds like it might be an interesting program to watch, similar to to A&E's 'Airline'. I have a feeing that like Airline, this TruTV program will be edited in a fashion to make the job seem much less mundane than in actuality it probably is. Naturally thats the job of Hollywood though. However, even though the editing eliminates most of the down time, with 'airline' at least, you were able to get a small glimpse at some of the more bizarre passengers that float through airports around the country with their even more bizarre complaints and requests. I must say I enjoy most of the cable reality programming than the network lineups. Shows that are featured on Bravo, A&E, TLC and Tru all seem to be edited in a manner that stays true the subject matter of the program where as it seems more often than not the major networks see how much shock, awe and scandal they can cram in to a 30 or 60 minute program. But of course, there is a niche for that programming. I think a fair comparison is of this would be Top Chef vs Hells Kitchen. Top Chef is strictly about the quality of food, the chefs and the challenges with very little 'personal drama'. Whereas Hells Kitchen, seems to have a more rambunctious group of contestants, where part of the watching the show is knowing Gordon Ramsey is going to swear off the staff, and act like... himself. To me, while I watch them both regularly, they are becoming increasingly more like night and day. I like Bravo TV's tag line.... "Watch what happens" as opposed to network TV which sometimes I think should read "Watch what's scripted" Yet another random off tangent at 9:30 in the morning... I need to stop with this already...

CedarPointer Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Given the promo that they have been showing, I have no doubt that at least some of it will be scripted. Not all, but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with Operacion Repo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's 100% staged, which totally contradicts TruTV's whole "actuality" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't believe everything you here in an advertisment? That is called step one. Step two is weeding out the bullcrap from the truth.
