The Sims being pitched for TV?

Electronic Arts is reportedly trying to pitch a Sims reality series to
several different TV stations. With the reality craze being at
its all time highest EA looks like they might be trying to cash in on
some of those big bucks for their most popular life simulation game
ever. This might not be a cool idea, but it sure might be an
interesting one…especially if the one that gets the green light is
the idea that Jan Bolz, VP of marketing and sales for EA Europe has in
mind. He told Reuters: “One idea could be that you’re controlling
a family,
telling them when to go to the kitchen and when to go to the bedroom,
and with this mechanism you have gamers all over the world ‘playing the
show.'” Now controlling your own real life family would be cool,
but I think that I would like to do the controlling myself.
Watching others on TV might not be as fun as playing the game.
