New Edmonton Reality Show: The Northsiders
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmont...s.html?cmp=rss
Quote:
Producers held a casting call on Wednesday for "Northsiders", a reality show set in north Edmonton described as a cross between Big Brother and Jersey Shore.
The casting notice calls the series "a wild, racy, and unpredictable ‘social experiment’, as we throw a group of bona-fide ‘northsiders’ into a run-down house, make them live together for 13 weeks, and see if anyone survives with any dignity intact."
Producers were seeking characters which include an older and younger "oil-patch/construction/trade worker, "The Rocker Chick", and the "Bar Star."
They are also seeking a "40-something cougar" who parties "like she's still in high school" as well as the "18-24 single mom" who is on social assistance but still "has plenty of cash left over to party every night

Sounds like a smash hit

They could do the same with Regina except all of the contestants would be the ' "18-24 single mom" who is on social assistance but still "has plenty of cash left over to party every night" '

Too bad they're not looking for a hipster who spends way too much time in Old Strathcona in his mid 20s for the show.
Ugh, this will further entrench the Edmonton stereotype that really is only a small portion of the city.

so in other words, they are looking for a few typical Edmontonians.........perhaps this sghow will start a nationwide craze on fanny packs and leather baseball hats.

Honestly, I would be shocked if this show ever gets to the filming stage, much less makes it to air.

I can't believe that this is going to be a publically funded show.

Casting for this show could be wrapped up in 5 minutes at the West Ed food court.

If public funding falls through, I'm sure a lot of Calgarians will be willing to fund it.
