Can you Watch The Donald for Two Hours?
NBC’s reality shows are taking over some mid-season replacements, according to the Washington Post.com. Merlin and The Philanthropist are on hold and money will be saved by letting the Donald air for two long hours each week when the Celebrity Apprentice will premiere on Sunday, March 1. Can you imagine a longer boardroom? The “supersizing” is one way to reduce broadcast network’s programming costs. According to the Washington Post, “”CA” creator Mark Burnett told the mag that The Donald is particularly pumped about his extra on-air time, though we would expect no less. That, Burnett explains, is because the boardroom scenes, in which Trump verbally pummels the show’s contestants and then sacks one of them, can sometimes go on for hours.”
