it was just a matter of time. now, it's happened. i saw a commercial on NBC promoting the next season of "The Apprentice," and sure enough, it's the celebrity version. i may be a bit slow on the take here, but doesn't it seem that anytime a tv show platform starts out wildly successful and then experiences a huge drop off after the network has signed a multi-year contract, the producers automatically resort to putting "celebrities" into the mix in hopes of rekindling our interest? "celebrity fit club," "celebrity jeopardy" (a show i adore), "celebrity wheel of fortune," and the list goes on.
what's next, "Celebrity Extreme Makeover Home Edition?" i can see it now, building a new house for the family of a former superstar who now just gets notoriety for his/her past achievements or his/her current fuck ups. the first 3 episodes would be corey haim, britney spears and gary arnold. should be entertaining.
face it, tv shows have a life cycle just like every other product on earth. it starts small in it's developmental stage, explodes with popularity as it becomes a cash cow, then matures and plateaus, and eventually becomes obsolete, useless and not entertaining. take a hint from other industries, tv execs, when it's time to go, it's just time to go. no celebrity can help you now. you're fired.
