Comparison Of Eric And Jessie: Game On

Eric & Jessie: Game On is a docu-soap structured television show about a country singer and football star who are married with two young kids, Vivianne and Eric Jr. (Bubby). Eric and Jessie are both professionals in their careers and face challenges dealing with their successes and failures within their professional work. Eric and Jessie are portrayed as a couple that is extremely in love with one another and have very little interpersonal conflict. While both Eric and Jessie are trying to advance and pursue their careers, they are also trying their best to succeed at their new jobs as parents.
My desire to create the series Eric & Jessie: Game On stemmed from a few different ideas. Eric is a talented, good looking, professional football player …show more content…
The main focus of the show is on Eric and Jessie themselves, so it was necessary to incorporate their names in the title. Also, the conflicts they deal with are always geared towards their careers, so adding “Game On” into the title added more character and context showing that they can take on whatever life throws at them. In addition, the phrase “Game On” has a sporty connotation, which directly relates to Eric’s professional football career. The executives and I wanted to keep the title short so that it is easy for viewers to remember. When researching who our market would be and the trends of content they watch, E! And Bravo were the channels that came to mind. E! Is geared towards pop culture and celebrity coverage with their main target being millennial's. E!’s channel trend is similar to that of Eric & Jessie: Game On, a docu-soap reality television show.

Regarding marketing hooks, for E! in particular, I am confident that its audience will watch Eric & Jessie: Game On because of the similarities it has to Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but with a Southern twist.

We decided to use real footage (with our characters) so that there is an understanding of the characters themselves, the plot, and the stakes.

Another reason we decided to do a fully produced sizzle reel is for our casting reel. We wanted to show the specifics of the characters and to understand each character’s personality. During our pitch meeting, after presenting our sizzle reel, I will pitch the agents and others at the meeting for a season of Eric & Jessie: Game On (13 episodes). I believe that a pilot, for the initial production cast, would be best for Eric & Jessie: Game On. This is the most admirable option because it is real footage of Eric, Jessie, and their kids, which shows their family dynamics and paints a well-rounded picture of the show. Not only does it show a preview of how the season will be, but
