Probably both. "School Pride" is already scheduled to go in at 8 p.m on Friday when "Who Do You Think You Are?" runs its course (which I think will only be 8 to 10 episodes--I'd hate to try to find 22 recognizable celebrities who want to dig up their family tree who weren't on the first season or have visited Henry Gates on PBS). And we all know that reality shows have a much faster turnaround than scripted series--if the BBC has a big surprise hit reality series this summer that BBC Worldwide owns, Garth Ancier will be in Gaspin's office pitching the format and it will go in mid-season. And Lord knows that Mike Darnell has in his bag of tricks over at Fox. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
