Out with the Old, In with the New

Out with the old-
The final episode of Pahala Shore will aire this week and viewers will see which cast members are leaving the show.

In with the new-
Filming for the new season of Pahala Shore will start soon. We are moving to a new area of the island, the older section is overrun with tourist and stalkers. Moving to the new area involves the typical packing up of sets and basically building new sets for the storylines. Scripts have been sent out and contracts renewed. There will be a few new characters added to the series in 2008-some more permenant than others naturally. There are also new developments in the lives of the cast, so some creative filming is in need.

2008 Schedules and Beyond

I sat down with the network again and reworked the airing format.

The Gloria Show is canceled as of immediately. 2007 ratings and technical aspects of filming made the project no longer worthwhile.

Pahala Shore will be picked up for 12 episodes a fiscal year starting in 2008, which means it will aire once a month and no hiatus, so no cliff-hangers over a period of 2-4 months. This also means that storylines will be tweaked a little since we're no longer going to try and have the
episodes follow real-time (ie, students will graduate in an episode aired during May.

Additional Projects:Not sure when the production schedule will start with these projects, but they are on my desk and have the yellow light once a few things with Pahala Shore and Pennelson Productions gets worked out.

Broadcast Television Episodes: will run a test episode with Tatiana's Tasty Tidbits in the local broadcast networks. If successful, will expand the Cooking Network with three shows (bbq demos, baking demos, fresh produce cooking demos) and then offer these shows internationally. Then we will film several commercials, a few exercise videos, expand the SBN channel and more.

Movies: will re-film Sunday and SUPERSTAR: The Alisa Crawston Story to reflect increased technical merit and to shorten the SUPERSTAR feature. Will persue filming the story of Starr Grey.

Make Me A Model, 2: Signed up as a judge/contributor for the second season, not sure when taping will start or when season 1 will end.
