A loud, dynamic or dysfunctional friend group<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There are a few of these descriptors that I can\u2019t speak to given my life experience as a white person with the dance skills of an inebriated rhinoceros. And at this point of my life I don\u2019t have a loud, dynamic or dysfunctional friend group so much as a list of pals whom I feel lucky if I see once or twice a year after we\u2019ve all rescheduled six times.<\/p>\n
So there\u2019s really only one of those communities that I have any experience with and that\u2019s the deeply religious. I don\u2019t necessarily think of myself<\/i> as deeply religious, mostly because I don\u2019t know the difference between the Corinthians, but I know compared to those who aren\u2019t involved with a particular faith, going to church every Sunday and being involved with sometimes multiple activities a week seems VERY religious.<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m saying is that I\u2019m somewhat of an expert in Utah\u2019s religious climate, relatively, and I do have an idea for a show.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s called \u201cSaved Pews\u201d and it features the families who sit on the same benches every week during church. Each episode would be a deep dive into that family\u2019s history with the bench, possibly going back generations. We would unpack how they decided to sit there for the first time and how they knew it was where they wanted to sit for every week thereafter. Also how they manage to get to 9 a.m. church on time to secure said bench instead of sneaking in the back 10 minutes late every single week.<\/p>\n
I understand that reality television needs manufactured drama to thrive, and there isn\u2019t a lot of inherent drama in families sitting quietly in church for an hour every week, except for maybe the occasional riveting game of tic-tac-toe. But what if I told you every once in a while there are mission farewells and homecomings and sometimes baby blessings and those things bring in visitors who like to sit near the front, thus displacing the usual families? Or that sometimes that family goes out of town and some other family claims the pew as their own while they are away and when they return a Sunday later another family is sitting in their spot? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?<\/p>\n
Sure, The \u201cReal Housewives\u201d have cast trips to the Italy and \u201cSecret Lives\u201d has multiple cheating scandals, but \u201cSaved Pews\u201d has what the people really want \u2014 families of seven occasionally sitting on hard plastic chairs instead of the upholstery they\u2019re used to. Tell me that won\u2019t sell.<\/p>\n
The casting call webpage reads, \u201cIf your world feels intense, competitive, or impossible to explain from the outside, we want to hear from you.\u201d And I think I just accidentally proved that this world is impossible to explain from the outside. So they will be hearing from me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
