| | | Posted by RescueMe1060 some chick posted a link to UER in the comments section. I know the site isn't a secret but I still think it should be kept off of Facebook as much as possible.
| What are you worried about? It’s not like a bunch of people are going to join the site and flood it with shitty photos and crappy locations and earn FM without any real effort at all or contribute solid content. Oh wait... Scott Brothers Entertainment is going to find people stupid enough to do all the work for them to build a sizzle reel. They will take advantage of stupid glory seekers who want attention. They will follow some idiots around to a few locations and cut it all together with some shitty interviews where the “explorer” explains why they do it, why it’s so important and what it means to them. Then they’ll take it to a network. The network will think it’s great. The network lawyers however will not. It won’t fly. It’s too much liability to produce a show where your talent and your crew are breaking the law. Will that stop the show? No. They network will buy it’s way into these locations so all liabilities are cleared and they will shoot and cut the show in such a way that most viewers will think that these explorers are breaking the law. All reality TV is a lie. At least after that, if someone sees your photos you won’t have to go into your standard redundant monolog about what Urban Exploration is and why you do it. Instead they’ll just say “Oh! I know about that! Just like on that show!”

| Meh, so what? The more people are awakened to their environments, the better. Well, I guess they should be the "right" people, not taggers or destroyers. It really doesn't bother me that the uninitiated will dig the explores, they may have a viewpoint that is interesting and as valid as anyone's. Also, I'll defend the Property Bros.; they do a great job on their current shows and while they tend to be a bit douchey, I don't really care, just show me that open-concept floor plan dammit.

| I shoot content for seven diffirent shows that air on HGTV. HGTV is one of many channels owned by Scripts network. Scripts is the cheapest paying network, and one of the most uptight networks as far as content, censorship and liability. Maybe, Scripts will buy a season of this, if so, it would probobly air on The Travel Channel (also owned by Scripts) and I promise you they will not let anyone break any laws. They will buy their way onto the property and present that these explorers are tresspassing. I don't just shoot content for HGTV and DIY. I also work for A&E, Discovery, Nat Geo and MYV. I'll say it again. All. Reality. TV. Is. A. Lie. Posted by G to the Race they tend to be a bit douchey, I don't really care,
| Cool. Then you won't be disappointed. I've been down this road before, with Scripts Network, for a show about explorers on HGTV/DIY/Travel Channel in 2010 Their lawyers said "Fuck No."

Funny, I think Scripts (Scripps?) is in Cincinnati, not far from here. My wife did a software install with them a while back. Weird how we now watch their shows nightly after not having anything to do with them until recently. Reality tv is a lie is not a thing to me; i don't invest any thought or emotion aside from "oh, that's a cool house" or "Will they love it or will they list it? I bet they list it." Sorry stuff didn't work out for you w/the tv stuff, coulda been a cool show as well. I watched that video about New York recently, it was well done and in high-def, I hope that if this comes to fruition it's like that.
