According to the TVSquad:
“Mark Burnett has a new unscripted project, greenlighted by CBS, called Jingles. It’s a competition show in which contestants have to create tunes for products, commercial jingles.”
Yes, my friends, you read that right. The best part is that there will be actual commercials between the gameshow segments, which, one imagines, will be little more than longer commercials.
This is one of those ideas that makes me so sad deep down inside. Sad because it is kind of a brilliant idea. Sad because people will probably love it. Sad because we are living in a time when people will clamour for the chance to “show the world” just how they can shill with the best of them.
