pbs has showcased a string of shows exploring different perspectives based on living in historical circumstances. there's been frontier house, manor house, 1900 house, and now colonial house. i half expect the next program to be called halfway house. cue pbs narrator: "twelve prisoners have been release from prison, attempting to reintegrate into society. we will follow their journey from hardened criminals into functional citizens of a midwest town."
i might joke, but i think this would be a really interesting program. just as these historical shows enlighten modern viewers to the harsh realities of living without the amenities of the 21st century, a show on a halfway house would give people an idea about the struggles people make in the transition from prison to the outside. i bet the john howard society would be behind this kind of idea.
can i at least have an executive producer credit?
