If your life was the Truman show, how long until it gets cancelled

[bohex1984]

After a whole day like

 

[Shadybiz]

I don't think it would make it through the first morning.

 

[Sacul64]

It would be like that one reality show where they cancel it after a single episode then forget to actually tell the people involved.

The Truman Show existed in a time where it was a novel concept. With the ubiquity of cameras you can watch people just live their lives on twitch or youtube pretty easily and you have tons of options. I don't think any Truman Show-type setup would be viable given the production costs.

 

[Fisty]

Direct to Crackle, delisted after 3 episodes

 

[Max|Payne]

A girl would probably want to have sex with me and that's when I figure out the whole ruse.

 

[Mona]

they would get bored watching me surf Era all day

 

[blame space]

what i always found the most interesting was the idea behind editing the Truman show in real time. of course, that's why kristof's character works as such an effective father figure, but i mean the real mechanics of it. making live feeds of an ACTOR living his "real life" into a television show loved by millions would be hard enough, but a guy who doesn't even know he's getting filmed? how do you make that engaging?

 

[blame space]

how many times do you think they had to cut away because Truman got fed up and just started jerking off

 

[sgtnosboss]

do you like watching someone work at a computer for 8 hours a day? and then play video games and watch movies? lol I don't think I would make it past the pilot

As a disabled person it would Maybe be a hit with the "we feel sorry about you" crowd

It would most likely be like a videogame stream but with no pre-schedule time for when or how long I will play and the game could be anything from my backlog, but the other stuff I would be more normal with only workouts and talking with People and some hospitals visit

 

[DPT120]

It would get canned after the first episode.

 

[Mulciber]

Yep, that was the whole point. A TV station adopted a newborn and decided to make a show all about him, right from the beginning, in an idealised world that's nothing like real life.

If I was in that same situation, the show will probably never get cancelled, since I can be a bit oblivious sometimes.

I also think that was sort of the point of the film, too. Truman didn't have a clue until things started to go wrong, the first, of course, being the light that fell.

 

[NoKisum]

Dropped due to the network thinking they were given various copies of the exact same episode. Basically, it's Endless Eight all over again.

 

[DrEvil]

Theres enough drama in my life of recent that would probably let it run indefinitely.

 

[meowdi gras]

No one could watch a show that depressing for more than a couple of minutes. (Unless it's chronic depressive me.)

 

[SixelAlexiS]

My life is closer to Groundhog Day than Truman Show.

It wouldn't get passed the pilot episode.
