Ordinary Joe pitch meeting: "Everyone loves cop shows, doctor shows, and rock stars!" Let's see if we can tell how well paid the writers are by the quality of the competing storylines. Where does the audience put their emotional investment? NBC with a very expensive production.
After viewing the premiere episode. Wow, Ordinary Joe is so expensive & empty. It must take weeks to shoot & edit one episode. Huge unappealing cast, numerous big locations, some of which are stunning to see for the first time. Hand-held camera motion. No way this homeless mutt meets expenses, and lasts very long.
