It seems like everyone is trying to jump on the bandwagon with Girls. A reality TV company put up a casting notice for the real life girls. Here’s the thing, the reason Girls works is because it’s scripted. I feel like the reality version of the show is every hipster in their 20s in Brooklyn, and they’ll be extremely unlikable to the general public. As a rule of thumb, I think doing a scripted show as reality is sometimes a good formula to follow, but I truly don’t know if this is the one to mimic. 

They should just write the casting notice for 20-something hipsters that still live off their parents money, are extremely annoying, and support wearing shirts with poofy sleeves, and sporting bangs.

Here’s the casting notice:

She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments.

    No good can come of this.

    People don’t know when to just let something great be great on its own; that’s exactly how they fucked up The Land Before Time.

    @ chaosbutterfly ~~ I love your comment! I so forgot about the Land Before Time fiasco. I sort of think of that similar to how they screwed up my beloved Neverending Story, and An American Tail. Bastards!

    This has already happened – it was called The Hills and then The City

    It goes without saying that you need not apply if you’re not white and straight.

    Uh, the point of these shows is that you watch and say, “God, nobody exists like that in real life but on a TV show he/she’s fucking entertaining”. The whole reality-version thing kinda kills that because it creates people who are trying to BE that character. Plus, isn’t this show about actual friends, not the forced reality-show kind? How does this work on ANY level?

    P.S. Are casting calls Craigslist ads nowadays?!

    Are they going to be able to show a girl’s f**k buddy rubbing one out while she has a casual conversation and takes some of his money? Or one of the girls accidentally smoking crack? Yeah. I don’t think so. Color me completely not interested.

    This isn’t going to work. When it comes to reality, the public doesn’t want to see someone like themselves. That’s boring. We want to hate-watch people who aren’t like us at all.
