Picked Up!

So it is with little fanfare and much hope, that the two shows I’ve voiced “Mall Cops” and “Conveyor Belt Of Love”, have been picked up.

Mall Cops On TLC

“Mall Cops” has had 12 episodes ordered by TLC and should start airing sometime in Spring of 2010.

“Conveyor Belt of Love” will air on Jan 4th on ABC.  If things go well it has a chance of getting picked up for more episodes.

“Conveyor” marks my second foray into the world of Dating Shows, having voiced  750 episodes of “Elimidate”

Conveyor Belt Of Love on ABC Jan 4th. Click Here for Trailer.

Between now and those pay checks anything can happen.  As it did when I was the original voice on “The Simple Life” with Paris Hilton and Nichol Richie.  The producers loved me, but somewhere along the way Fox decided they didn’t.  As my saying de jour goes. “It Is What It Is.”

So really excited about the possibility of these two shows, but reserved as well.

As always never sure that  my voice will end up on the show or that the shows will actually air, and definitely not counting the money until the check has cleared.

And yes… The check hasn’t cleared before!

Fingers Crossed

Hoping for two new pilots I just  did to get picked up.  Mall Cops “Mall of America”  a show that picks up where Paul Blart left off, but with less Blart and more officer.  The Pilot aired Thursday October 15th.  The other, as of now has no air date.  It’s called “Conveyor Belt of Love” and is just what it’s name says.  5 Women watch 30 Men come by on a conveyor belt and decide if they’re interested.  I want the show to get picked up simply for the opportunity to get a t-shirt.  Who wouldn’t want a “Conveyor Belt of Love” T-shirt?  Well, maybe my parents.

Just like On Camera actors VO actors have to sweat the networks suits deciding, in their infinite wisdom, whether a show is a GO.  Cool thing about VO actors is they can have multiple shows at the same time.

But just like On Camera actors,  just because you did a show that got picked up or renewed doesn’t mean you can’t be killed off.

Now maybe your character won’t die a tragic death in a freak Tea picking expedition on the tundra in Tibet, but there might be a producer who thinks they can do your job better, and it’s the same end result.

So keep your fingers crossed, have your family and friends praying, knock on wood, send bribes, or carve a tiki.

What ever you do realize it all turns to dust, the flowers die, and shows all get canceled.  

And yes The Simpsons, One day, will get canceled.
