To Reliant Interactive Media:
At one point in time I threatened to write a TV sitcom about a business in the infomercial industry. Life at HSN Direct had been whacky yet facsinating and I believe that an entertaining show can be developed reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore, Sandford & Son, and other great comedies.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Kevin Harrington and Reliant Interactive Media should produce a reality TV program following their day-to-day business dealings. The ratings would go sky high! Everybody wants to get rich quick and they would get hooked watching the Harringtons dance through the product hunt, negotiations, and the infomercial production and launch. It will drive some people NUTS to watch the product development cycle and others in the audience will be clamoring to bring their products in to Reliant.
I can envision the lovely Irish Mary bustling about everyday in fast motion brewing the coffee and polishing up the front reception area. I can hear her answering the phone and being soooooo polite and professional. Then I see her hanging up and muttering "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" under her breath and shaking her head.
Madhi and Bruce will undoubtedly offer entertainment as will Bill and some of the others that I don't know. But the stars will be the very likable Harrington brothers.
