Would you ever try to be on TV?
I'm thinking one of those Bringing Home Baby or A Baby Story type of show.
I know A Baby Story was filmed at the hospital I'm delivering at and I heard from the nurses that they were not at all intrusive but, I wouldn't do it.
DH and I were considered for Who's Wedding Is It Anyway but then backed out after we actually saw an episode.

Re: Would you ever try to be on TV?
I dont know I liked watching those shows many years ago. Depended on how DH and the girls felt about it.
Then again after how I feel today I would say NO WAY!
This. I don't know that DH would ever agree to it though, he hates shows like that.
Hey I don't blame you, spur of the moment things are a no way in my book. DH was interviewed on TV about something he witnessed - got back to the car and realized he had chocolate chip muffin smeared all over his face. Every single time I think about that phone call when he got back to the car to tell me about his chocolaty face I laugh so hard I nearly pee.
Ok, you MUST spill it! Keep it non-identifying, but please please please?? lol
No, I don't think we would do anything like that. We're both pretty private people.
Yeah don't leave us hanging here? What goes on?????
I worked on a lot of shows, but particularly shows where you're filming milestones/stressful times in people's lives--- it makes you feel a little dirty. You've got people dealing with personal issues, family drama, emotional crises and you're like "um, can we do this one scene where you freak out even though you're really not that person? Can you pretend to cry? No? Welllllll, you signed this contract..."
I can pin point the people who would do it in a heartbeat! Not that there's anything wrong with them or anything wrong with doing it- but it is a very certain personality type who wants to put their lives on display.
Honestly, I didn't even let my husband take photos of me after delivery! I did not want that documented until LONG after I had run a brush through my hair. I know that when I look back on my life I won't be like "Man, I really wish I had a TV crew documenting that and broadcasting it worldwide!"
Oh yeah, I can totally picture that happening. I was interviewed for a fitness/weight loss story video. One of my friends was the focus of the video, and there were 4 others of us who were a part of her 'team'. (We'd all lost weight, but she was being featured for a website she was a part of).
ANYWAY, the person interviewing me would ask questions, like, "Tell us how she helped motivate you through the process?" And I'd answer, but then she'd put words in my mouth like, "So, would you say that you really look up to her? Like she's a role model?" And then when I'd say, "I guess so," she'd say, "Ok let's reshoot and this time make sure to use phrases like 'look up to' and 'role model'." LOL
I joked with her that if there was a script she ought to just give it to me, but she wasn't amused by my joke.
I tred out for the real world in 2000.
I made it really far, actually. I'm always nervous my interview will show up on some "out-takes" real one day.
Looking back, I realize it would have been a huge mistake, but it was before the real world went totally crazy and I was a 19 year-old girl working at a bookstore, singing in a hardcore band, with multi-colored dreadlocks. I figured I could take a few months off to live rent free in some awesome house in VEGAS.
