WILL SMITH AND FAMILY DOING A RUN'S HOUSE-STYLE REALITY SHOW

December 13, 2007. With the writers strike set to shutting down production at many major studios, TV networks are turning to reality shows. And there's one reality show being pitched that's getting a good bit of attention.

MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a production company associated with Will Smith is pitching a reality show that follows his family. One network insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "The show follows the life of Jada, Will and the children - with the focus mostly on Jada and the children ... According to the producers, the Smith's are somewhere between the Osbourne's, who are crazy, and the Simmons' - who are a little too wholesome."

And according to the insider, many networks are interested. The exec told MediaTakeOut.com, "The series looks attractive on paper - but with the strike, it looks like American Idol."
