CBS Orders New Reality Drama "Missing You"
January 26, 2009 3:38 p.m. EST
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - People cannot get enough of crime dramas, whether they're scripted (the "CSI" series) or reality ("Cops"). CBS has ordered a pilot presentation of a reality show called "Missing You." On the show, a team of investigators investigate and try to solve different missing-persons cases each week.
The show's executive producers include "Girls Next Door" producer Ned Nalle and '70s teen sensation Shaun Cassidy, who has produced ABC's 2005 series "Invasion" and the CBS hit "American Gothic." If "Missing You" is picked up, it will be a crime reality show to counter CBS' two scripted crime hit dramas, "CSI" and "The Mentalist."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, CBS had a similar idea to develop a reality crime/police drama before. The network teamed with Mark Burnett in 2004 to develop "Recovery," a show about the search for kidnapped children.
Burnett's production team conceptualized and filmed "Recovery" for 18 months. The problem, however, was it needed to be filmed under the utmost secrecy so as not to endanger the safety of the children being searched looked for.
There have been no reports on whether "Missing You" will need to be filmed in secrecy or whether other precautions will need to be taken so as not to compromise any cases.
