I have been contacted by a Canadian TV company looking to do a show
about MacGyver FANatics in the US and Canada. We've corresponded back
and forth via email and below is a message the contact (Jennifer)
posted on the MOL forums.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Jennifer and I'm coordinating a brand new TV series about
the world's top television fans. I'm looking for MacGyver fans and I'm
posting here in the hopes of getting in touch with the biggest fans
out there.
Here's a little about our show:
It's a 26 part documentary style series about the culture of fandom.
Each episode will focus on a different program- everything from The
Dukes of Hazzard to Sex & the City, and of course MacGyver - and will
feature 2-3 fans of the program from Canada and the US. We're looking
to explore the program through the eyes of the fans.
Our series will unearth why the fans love the show, how following and
analyzing the show makes them feel, the social impact of the program,
what their friends and family think, and the culture of fandom
(different shows express their fandom differently -look at Sex & the
City fans and then at Star Trek fans).
The show will air in Canada on TVtropolis, a new Canadian Network
launching under the Global Television Network family of channels.
If you're interested or would like more information, don't hesitate to
drop me a line at the e-mail address below.
Thanks!!
Jennifer.
