The Live Feed: Curtis Granderson reality show being pitched

And it may result in the winning network’s deadliest catch!

The Detroit Tigers player has agreed to host a TV and online series titled “Stadium Secrets” where he takes sports fans on an exploration of stadiums.

The concept is similar to Authentic’s “Cities of the Underworld” on History channel.

This sounds awesome.

How long before he gets too expensive for this Stadium Secrets show and they have to trade him off for a younger cheaper cost-controlled host?

That isn't what I was picturing when I read the sidebar: "Curtis Granderson reality show being pitched." I was momentarily saddened that Granderson would lower himself into the typical reality cesspool.

I also came in with dread expectations of a typical reality show. This is much better.

I have already put this on my Tivo queue.

He should ask them why Cities of the Underworld changed hosts.

The show will usually be awesome, but will suck when scheduled opposite Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow's shows.

I was thinking the same as SOSH and Juan V, except not passing judgment on Granderson but rather the TV execs. I was going to ask what the hell was so interesting about his life that we would want a reality show based on it.

Give me a show on Lenny Dykstra. I don't normally watch stuff even though it irritates me (like a frightening number of people seem to do), but I would watch and record every single moment of that.

Isn't there already a show on the MLB Network that does this? And with a much hotter host? Is there a big market for TV shows that show you around stadiums?

The new host of Cities has been the executive producer the entire time. I haven't read, but I guess that he said, "Gimme the explorin' jacket. I can do just as good a job as you."

He'd make a great host...

Is he going to wear a long black vinyl trenchcoat?
