Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 4:14 PMYeah this has happend before a couple of years ago.
I would not say it is an attack on the arts.
If any thing the series here highlighted how difficult and amzing most circus skills are.
Also it seemed to remind the tv watching public about how rad circus is.
I know the circus that they did this with in australia had lots bigger croweds after they featured on that show. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 9:33 AMThink of the fun!
There's the predictable "ohmygod... " while a d-list celeb clutches the rigging on the board for the flying trapese segment
The injury potential of out-of-shape actors attempting a 2-high
not to mention the inevitable flaming poi to the crotch...
Good stuff... -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 11:21 AMAh yes, the sweet pleasures of watching a crotch-seeking flaming poi missile. Who doesn't want to watch d-list celebs hurt themselves and get frustrated with physical activity? I hope it does well, it will prime the networks for my own circus reality-show: "Welcome to the big top...grab a broom"

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 9:01 PMIts nothing new. For those of you old enough to be alive in the 70's, there was a show called Circus of the Stars. Check it out on wikipedia. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 10:14 AMmy first thought was of that show, and my second thought was "are you (original poster) really worried that some celebrity is going to do circus wrong?"

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 1:15 AMRe: Taz
define wrong? i'm all for watching this train wreck for the laughs. the thought of a celeb-reality show about something i actually enjoy kind of made me gag. that's all. i can just imagine trying to explain silks to someone and hearing them say "oh, like those things heidi montag wrapped herself up in and got upside down and almost flashed national tv?" ugh. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 5:34 PMI seriously doubt they'll have anyone doing silks. There isn't much to watch in beginning level silks.

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 7:44 PMDoes anyone actually own a TV so I can come watch this disaster? -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 10:55 PMI have a TV, I might even watch it. I don't watch things like Dancing with the Stars, but since it's circus I might give it a try. It might be fun to laugh at them trying to do circus stuff. I probably won't recognize anyone, though. I'm not up on who's who in Hollywood.
But I'm with one of the earlier posters in this thread, what harm is it to circus to have some beginners try it? It will show how difficult circus skills are. And it will likely bring circus activities even more into the forefront of the average American's mind to have a show like that on TV. Circus seems to be more popular lately, all forms of circus. This is just one more way to be entertained by circus.
Where do you live, do you want to watch it on my TV? When is it starting and on what channel? -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Sat, April 26, 2008 - 7:34 PMThanks, Loki, for finding out for us. Wednesday nights I don't usually work, also, so yeah, I'll give it a look-see in June.
Mr. Ection, I live in northwest Berkeley. Not too far from you. By June I'll probably have a tissue up, too, in our warehouse. I see that you do silks sometimes, too. This is pretty bold of me, and I hope my boyfriend doesn't mind, but I tend to trust other aerialists, so if you want to come watch Celebrity Circus, you are welcome. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 5:40 PMSure, Wednesdays I am usually busy but I am sure I could make it by sometime. :) My girlfriend lives up in west Berkeley. You're probably not far from her.
I'm in a ware house in Oakland. :) I love my warehouse. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Fri, May 30, 2008 - 7:45 AMCircus of the Stars did this in the 70's and 80's, as was mentioned. I was a little kid and *loved* the show.
It is one of the reasons I got into all of this.
I thought if some soap opera star could do it, so could I.
If this new incarnation serves as an inspiration, education or draws people to the shows, then I am all for it. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Thu, June 12, 2008 - 9:42 PMI just realized that I forgot to watch Celebrity Circus last night. I'll program my DVR so that I don't miss it next week. And Mr. Ection, if you are still looking for a place to view it let me know. I hear that it is also available to watch on the NBC internet site, so if you have computer access for 90 minutes you can also see it there.
Did anyone here watch it? What did you think? Entertaining? -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Fri, June 13, 2008 - 10:04 PMNope, I missed it. The concept of television is lost unto me. : ) -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Sat, June 14, 2008 - 3:04 PMwhat i really want to know is how they went about finding coaches, and who the coaches are....
and why didnt we hear about them looking for circus instructors?
anyways, its not gonna effect much of anything as far as circus and pop culture are concerned, unless it spawns a circus competition reality tv show, like top chef or what not....that could be kinda rad....
but i guess thats what america's got talent is, except that show blows. -

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Sat, June 14, 2008 - 8:29 PM>> and why didnt we hear about them looking for circus instructors? <<
I heard about it. They asked at the circus school I work for, were told no, and then later they apologized. They had thought we were in Southern California. We are in the Bay Area.
Except one instructor that worked only one morning a week for us did say he would be working on the show. I'll be curious to see if he really is on the show. He is not working at our school these days.

Re: oh jeez no! Celebrity Circus?
Sun, June 15, 2008 - 7:14 PMOh, that's a cool link. I didn't see the instructor I thought might be on the show on that list. But I did see the name of someone I know much better, Kristin Finley. She lives in the Los Angeles area already. Now I know I'll be watching it. Kristen is also one of my Tribe friends. She hasn't logged in to Tribe since shortly after accepting my invitation to Tribe, though.
