Hello Chance,
I didn't know your profile name on here, but figured it wouldn't be long before you came calling. As for said persons, I came to the site after emails from lawyers told me to cease and desist trying to shop HDL.....newsflash, HDL is a dead deal, and I am in no way attempting to breathe life back into it. My resume will forever say that I cut one helluva promo reel for it, and thats the end of that. I figure I must be damn good at what I do because 2 girls are on tv because of it. Even if the hog hunting community is bashing the hell out of them, their still on tv....case closed on that one.
The CHANCE at the end of my post was not to take a stab at you, it was to let you know that I knew you would be on this site. I have nothing but respect for you, but don't get it twisted. I am a tv producer, I came to said persons wanting to use them as talent. But the legal things that said people are tied up in would get my show canned once their name is mentioned as one of my casting members. That is why I decided to find NEW TALENT!!!!
I repeatedly tried to get people to move on and lets go in another direction that was guaranteed, and all I got for my efforts was threatening emails from lawyers telling me to cease and desist anything that had to do with HDL....
As for my statement about the hog community, I said it in your living room, and I'll say it on this site..
" I CANNOT BUILD MY SHOW AROUND THE OPINIONS OF THE HOG COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THEY ONLY MAKE UP A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH THE SHOW, BUT WE WILL REMAIN TRUE TO THE SPORT."
So what does that mean?
It simply means that the entire United States has the ability to view the show, not just hog hunters. In saying that, a show has to be put together to entertain the entire U.S. viewing audience, not just hog hunters. Remaining true to the sport is what I intend to do, but truth be told, opinions are just like A - - holes, everybody has one, and they all stink. Even if I did pattern the show after every opinion that was placed on this site, there would still be someone dogging the show.....see my point?
As I told said persons lawyers, I really do regret that things turned out the way they did, I think the hunting talents would have been a knockout for my show....but the operative word is, MY SHOW, as such, I cannot put my show on hold while they sort out legal issues that I promise you, will take a helluva lot longer than 30 days.
I'm sorry if I've offended you, it really wasn't my intent, but I am going forward with my show, and I can promise you this, It won't be anything like HDL, and I ought to know how to make sure of that...remember, I cut the promo....
Tony
