PBS station spoofs reality TV, urges viewers to support 'quality' shows
(The word quality is in quotes, but that's probably because the article is on an NBC website.)

Move over, "Deadliest Catch!" The "Clam Kings" are set to show viewers some fresh shellfish shenanigans.
Or not.
Actually, a new trailer on YouTube, which at first seems to promote a reality TV show called "Clam Kings," is really just a spoof on the whole genre -- and a creative fundraising effort from one PBS station.
Well played, WNET, well played.

I can envision a lot of mashups:

This Old House Cable Guy: He's not getting any younger, and not getting any smarter either.

Tractor Piano Pull: Which concert pianist can pull his/her 9-foot grand across this muddy field the fastest?

I do recall a video titled "This Old Whore House" but I don't think that one was a PBS production.

I saw these on the web the other day. Brought a smile to my face. I don't live anywhere near NY and it still inspired me to donate.
