Spin-offs, fail to take-off

 We all know of dis-continued shows or movies in the past. All of a sudden these have become more apparent in the media. A lot of reality spin-offs are being broadcast-ed and piloted but quickly becoming extremely unsuccessful and viewers are quickly becoming un-interested. These so called " reality spinoffs" are created by producers in order to keep the viewers in any way possible. They dream up the new show idea because certain people or celebs refuse to re-up their contract or they move settings or jobs and the show no longer has the same appeal without the same characters or the same places. Unsuccessful shows like 'The City' which was formerly part of 'The Hills' has not lasted and gotten near as many viewers and media attention. Recently aired 'The Pauly D Project' is a spin-off of most popular MTV series 'The Jersey Shore' was predicted to have a mass amount of viewers and did not live up to it's standards.
There are a few more spin-offs in work, like a toddler off of TLC's 'Toddlers and Tiaras' is said to be aired sometime in the fall, hopes are high for this show but expectations of a long-term film process are not in immediate planning.
