So I ABSOLUTELY love TV casting notices. 90% of the shows that are looking for participants don’t ever make it past the casting stage and there is a reason. They are beyond ridiculous. Excerpts from some of my favorites this week….

- Do friends avoid your dinner parties like the plague? Sixteen of the country’s most hopeless cooks attempt to transform from kitchen zeros into kitchen heroes- This show is in it’s 3rd season…

- Looking for families that either have lots of pets/animals(any type), animal related businesses, animal rescues, or interesting animal dynamics in the family! The family must have some children living at home! - Look, you got pets and some kids? We got a TV show.

-looking for extroverted mothers and daughters who are or have been BEST FRIENDS, who appear to be between 14-17 years apart, in crazy and unique relationships. -Gilmore Girls 2011, but way more inappropriate -LOOKING FOR AMAZING FAMILIES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH MORE THAN 8 KIDS! CAN BE MARRIED COUPLES, SINGLE PARENTS, SPECIAL NEEDS, ADOPTED FAMILIES, BRADY BUNCH TYPE FAMILIES, ALL ETHNICITIES, ALL SHAPES AND SIZES!! - we said do you have any kids? They can even be in shapes and sizes, preferably child like in nature

- Looking for GUYS 30 yrs old & older that would love to be reunited with their high school/college sports team for a game of friendly competition with your rival team. - Wild Hogs goes sports. I actually really want this show to happen and for them to make them wear their original jerseys.

And the absolute jackpot in casting notices are over at MTV’s True Life. Currently they are looking for:

TRUE LIFE: I HAVE AN EMBARRASSING PARTNER

TRUE LIFE: I WORK WITH MY EX- arguments and collating

TRUE LIFE: I’M BREAKING UP WITH MY BEST FRIEND - Girl I could have starred in this

TRUE LIFE: I’M A FURRY TRUE LIFE: I HATE MY HAIR - I just want to see how they make an hour out of this
