Does Television Need a Real-Life 'Girls'?

If you or someone you know is a broke, self-absorbed, single girl struggling to make it in Manhattan, this might just be the lucky day. Thanks to the success of the HBO series “Girls,” an “Emmy-winning production company” has posted an ad on Craigslist seeking young women who want to star in a reality TV version of the Lena Dunham hit.

girls

It’s not the first time that a scripted series has inspired a docudrama. Would there be a “Sister Wives” had there not been a “Big Love”? And the catfighting drama of “Desperate Housewives” could certainly have been an inciting factor in the success of the “Real Housewives” franchise.

Besides, there’s always a place on the small screen for a coming-of-age series involving twentysomethings striking out on their own, building their careers and looking for love in the big city. But hopefuls might want to get cable before they sign up for the show. If there’s even a fraction of the nudity seen on “Girls,” these reality stars will really need to be prepared to bare more than just their souls for the cameras.

There might just be a bevy of young New Yorkers ready to take on the challenge. But given how polarizing “Girls” is, one wonders if fans will flock to a non-fiction version of the show. Do you think television needs a reality show version of ‘Girls’?

    But not another f-ing "reality show."

    ...so basically super hot skinny chicks with some visible tatoos? That's "real girls?"

    Nothing is real about "reality tv." Nothing. It's just scripted differently.

    It won't be real - it will be reality TV which is, pretty much by definition these days, not real.

    The reality shows are all fake anyways, they give fat and ugly people with no talent opportunities in primetime TV. The bottom of the pit of it was that ridiculous show glorifying a black guy with 11 kids from 10 different mothers. At least he supported them, Ill give him that.

    The sad thing about that show was its pretty typical in the black community, black men fathering kids, and rather than supporting them the mothers are on welfare. maybe with fathers in their lives the black on black murder rate wouldnt be so high.

    Its not uncommon in chicago to have over 50 shootings in one weekend due to gang violence,. The one death was a 6 year old little girl.

    beat's me i guess there looking for the shock factor, but the thing about it is there is no shock there you could do the show with just about anyone sorry to say

    11 kids from 10 different mothers is pretty impressive... I could only get up to...uh.... 2 kids from 1 mother so ... he's beating me by like 9 in every category!

    You know who's really impressive... the guy who worked at the sperm bank and replaced all the choices with his. That's like hundreds of kids from hundreds of mothers. And then some years in jail...

    O I dont think I heard about that one. you know its almost rape really. Its like a stranger putting on her boyfriends halloween mask at a party and screwing her.

    ...though that's a common secret fantasy of everyone involved. Anonymous sex with plausible deniablility of intent... It's the stuff erotic fan fiction is made of. Really high risk of not playing out so well in real life though...
