While AMC is perhaps best known for scripted dramas like “Mad Men†and “Breaking Bad,†that cable channel is continuing to add to its roster of unscripted series - you might also call them reality shows - for those hours when Don Draper and Walter White are taking it easy.
Joining its existing reality programs like “Comic Book Men†and “Small Town Security,†AMC said, will be two as-yet untitled reality shows, one that will chronicle the field of taxidermy and the other set at Venice Beach in California. In a news release AMC said the taxidermy show would be a “hosted competition series†in which participants “pulled from both the rogue and classic schools of taxidermy†would be called upon “to create a distinct piece of art that is judged on overall presentation, creativity and technique.†The other series, it said, will chronicle the music producer Todd Ray and his family “as they own and oper ate the world famous Venice Beach Freakshow, a museum that exhibits strange creatures, living oddities and human attractions.†Both shows have been ordered for eight half-hour episodes and will be shown early next year.
For those viewers who can't get enough of the marketing and promotion world, AMC said it was also ordering a second season of its reality series “The Pitch,†which is set in the field of (modern-day) advertising.
