the only thing i can see happening with this is trying to assemble a band from scratch , teach every one how to play thre instraments , and sing and dance other from that there is not much that i can see for a reality show . almost every thing else they did was and still is highly illegal in our post 911 world .

Well, I mean two regular average joes donning the suits, driving the car, playing the gigs and practically living out there lives as REAL LIVE BLUES BROTHERS, so we Blues Brothers Fanatics can watch good cable programing the way God inteded, FREELY, and finally in confort of all of todays problems, let the others handle this depressing world for a while.

Agree? or Disagree?

Good Tv? I´m sorry, yeah, it would be cool to watch, but still another crapy reality show... The idea that popped into my head is a parodi of reality shows, or something like that. What do you think about that? Havin Elwood on the confessionary? hehe

i just thought of a BB reality show where we can tour with a Blues Brothers tribute Band from either around the country or around the world, I'd watch that, I would call it It aint just a movie anymore, or the living blues brothers, or whatever, but I need ideas :BB:

That would be pretty funny, actually. As long as they did some mischief and all like the originals.

I think it isn´t a good idea. I don´t know how is your opinion about reality shows in the USA, but here in Spain those kind of tv programs are really boring. We still have "Big Brother", a program about low people trying to have sex with anybody and win tons of cash, all to be famous. Somebody told me that we´re the only place where we got ton of this kind of trash tv programs.

Doing a Blues Bros. reality wouldn´t work because everybody would do it. "Ok, I´m a techno fan, I hate that old black music, but hey! I like that suit and shades. Let´s do it!" Imagine two guys dancing in a Blues Brothers suit to "reggeton" music (if you don´t know what kind of music is that, I really feel happy for you). It sucks.

But I have an idea... Why not doing a full DVD with a concert of the Band or new cds? :) That would rock!

That would be awsome! Agree with you there

But a BB reality show? That would be too funny! I would watch every week! Every day if it was on that often.
