Here in Las Vegas yesterday I was at the Venitian and had the chance to see a tv show as part of audience research.
It's cool - they give you popcorn and stuff like mugs, t-shirts, anywhere from $2 to $15, etc, for about an hour of your time to sit there, watch the show, rate the content by a dial 'boring to interesting,' and answer some questions.
Anyway yesterday I saw a show called 'Supervolcano,' from the looks of it to be seen on Discovery channel. It was a new idea they have - dramatazations of disasters etc peppered with a lot of scientific info, a new 'dramatic' way to do a documentary, I guess.
It was hideously bad - about the volcano under old faithful erupting and causing the end of the world. Just poorly done.
Anyway, they ran a trailer for a show, "Pompeii: The Last Day' based on some new info and research. It was a drama also but it looked AWESOME! I was bummed that they didn't show us that, instead!
Keep an eye out on cable for the 'Pompeii' special!
Thanks, I will. I'm more interested in super-volcanos though.
"Keep an eye out on cable for the 'Pompeii' special!"
Will do. Thanks.
I've never seen TV folks anytime I've been to the V, and I've been several times. Where do they hang out?
