Who Needs A Tan?

the e! entertainment chanel has announced a new nonscripted show called Sunset Tan that will premier at 10:30 on may 28th after the premier of the latest Simple Life season.

the show takes place in a tanning salon and will follow the staff and clients. it sounds like Miami Ink but in a tanning salon and without talented artists.

two things caught my eye when i read the article about the show in variety today.

1) first was the fact that they called it a nonscripted comic sudser. no i don't mean their corny use of the word 'sudser' rather then soap. i am reffering to the fact that they are calling it a comedy. i love how these shows are all 'reality/nonscripted' and yet it can be a comedy or drama or something else i guess. this goes to show how important editing and 'writing' is on these reality shows with their ability to turn the show into whatever they want it to be really.

2) the second thing that caught my attention was the fact that The Simple Life is coming back for another season. are people really still watching that show?
