Perhaps those incriminating "Apprentice" outtakes will now see the light of
day.
As the link states, the main problem with Burnett at MGM was that he was
unable to come up with anything as successful as his previous shows--and he
had no interest in the scripted prestige shows. More importantly, all of
his other shows that came to MGM have other owners involved--because they
were all formats created by others ("Apprentice"--and his first show for
Discovery, "Eco-Challenge"--were the only hits that he created--and of
course, Trump owns part of "Apprentice"). His other main interests were
all those Biblical-themed scripted shows he was doing for cable and the
Light TV subchannel of family programming--the former shows didn't bring in
the numbers or got lost in cable's removal from scripted as streaming came
along and he ended up selling Light to Byron Allen--it's now Grio,
competing with Scripps' Bounce for Black audiences.
