Great, Another Reality Show In Las Vegas

Get ready for another reality show to hit the streets of Las Vegas to film our government officials.
From the LVRJ: The Clark County coroner and medical examiner’s office wants to tell its story.
Usually, when the public sees its staff, a vehicle is responding to a death and removing a body. But the office does much more. Forensic investigations, autopsies, tracking down families of victims and identifying bodies are all part of the job.
Some of that work — along with re-enactments and the perspectives of staff — could make their way onto television screens.
The coroner’s office has an agreement with a producer to videotape a pilot and potentially up to 12 episodes of a reality-based television program by Jan. 7, 2014.
If all goes well with the pilot, the show could be purchased for broadcast by A&E Television Networks.
Coroner P. Michael Murphy said he avoids calling the program a “reality show.” In his view, it’s more of a docudrama.
“Reality shows have a connotation that can be somewhat whimsical and we’re going to look more at the working operations of our organization and things that we’re doing,” he said.   http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/clark-county-coroners-office-tells-its-story
This actually might be a good series, as long as it doesn't involve a lot of reenactments.
