Cooley vs. Czaban: The Reality Show That Never Happened



My friend Adam McCaa and his talented video producer Chris Counts launched what was going to be a 10 episode web series, aimed at being a Golf Channel Style reality show. Sort of a Big Break meets the Biggest Loser concept.

The day me and Cooley shot this first pilot episode, it was a frigid late April day. But Cooley was great, and our teacher Pat Maguire was excellent in the short amount of time he worked with us. Sadly, the full funding for the "show" never came through, and so all we had was this short preview/pilot.

I didn't think much about it, until Chris showed me what he had so far, and WHOA, I was blown away! Great videography, editing, and overall production values. Maybe someday we'll resurrect the concept. I know Cooley has.... ahem... more time for golf right now, so we'll see.

    That looked like fun & a good concept.

    Looks like there is potential there. I would watch it.

    This is "let me tell you about my fantasy football team" on steroids. I don't give a rip about another dude's golf game. Now, if there were a US and Europe series and winners got to go head to head to break a 14-14 Ryder Cup tie, then....Nope, not even then.
