FOX cancels reality show

#1 Post by earendel » Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:30 pm

The media critic for our local newspaper reports that FOX has canceled a show called "Nothing but the Truth" because a contestant won $50,000 by admitting on a polygraph test that she hired someone ty try and kill her husband.

Now THAT'S what I call reality!

Hey, if that evidence is admissible, it'd probably save $50K in court costs! :wink:

It's all his fault. That'll be $10.

ear,

Your so-called "critic" missed so many facts. The show was taped and broadcast in Columbia (the country, not South Carolina, not Broadcast System), and she only won $25,000.

BTW, Fox is still working on the same concept, just calling it "Moment of the Truth", and similar shows are planned for England, Australia, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Ah cain't wate!!
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

I was going from memory when I cited the dollar amount. Going back and checking the article, the critic did say $25,000. As to the other, I didn't read the article thoroughly enough. But he did say that FOX was canceling its production after what happened in Colombia.

Both web sites I visited that had info about the show said Fox was going to continue production of the show.
