Quote: Fox Entertainment president Gail Berman knows “Joe Millionaire” will have its critics, just as “Bachelor” has its detractors. “It’ll cause some controversy and hopefully grab some viewers,” she said. “We just think it’s a great spin on these kinds of shows and reality TV in general.” What “Joe Millionaire” won’t be is a regular part of Fox’s schedule. “We cannot duplicate this show. It’s a one-time-only thing,” Berman said. Indeed, in order to ensure none of the women discovered Joe’s secret prematurely, Fox and series producer Rocket Science Prods. (“Temptation Island”) produced the series under a cloak of secrecy heavy even by the already paranoid standards of the reality TV world. Less than a half-dozen Fox execs knew of the project’s existence. The show was shot in France under the code name “The Big Choice” to further throw off competitors. Most of the production crew in France had no idea what they were really shooting, nor did a butler hired to serve as Joe’s assistant. "We had to keep it unbelievably secret,” Darnell said. “If the participants knew (the twist), then you’re screwed. And if our competitors found out, the women in the show would have found out.” While word did leak out about “Big Choice,” competitors were never certain about the details of the show, other than that it was relationship-oriented. News that Fox is developing an arranged-marriage series also may have thrown some off the scent.

Quote:Originally posted by bobknaptor: Sure, they are "letting" Joss pedal the show elsewhere... that's because Fox Broadcasting is a subsidiary of the fox production company. Fox production company continues to make money off the show only if Firefly finds a new home. Fox Broadcasting doesn't lose anything by "letting" Joss shop around for a new network, so they are doing it. I wouldn't let that idea paint a picture that Fox is being so generous with the show.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Quote:I mean, I believe I belong to the general public, unfortunately, what I tend to watch in addition to what the general public watches says otherwise. Does that make me somehow peculiar from, say, my wife, who enjoys watching "Friends" and "ER" (which I also enjoy watching, at least ER anyway), but will have nothing to do with "Farscape" or "Firefly?"
