New York, NY -13 May 2009- Next fall’s lineup is likely to include a show which will push the envelope in the already permissive, and oft disturbing, reality TV category, if plans revealed anonymously continue to develop. TV executives familiar with a new show in development at NBC say that the new program, in pre-production under the working title “My Robot Wife Bangs for Cash,” is already raising the eyebrows of FCC censors and will likely require special approval before it’s allowed to be broadcast.

Sources familiar with NBC’s plans have confirmed that one of the network’s next major primetime productions will be a reality TV format competition in which single men vie to build a robot which is able to sell the most sex over the course of the show, which will also grant bonuses to any robot which completes certain specified tasks, like selling a threesome or performing sado-masochistic acts. These sources also say that the rules of the competition don’t specify whether or not the robot must be humanoid.

A spokesperson for NBC refused to comment on any show still in development but insisted that NBC produces “only the shows that we deem to be the highest quality and which reflect the fine standards and taste of everyone here at NBC.” Last year, NBC-produced reality TV shows included “Celebrity Apprentice,” during which contestant Joan Rivers compared a competitor to Hitler, and “The Biggest Loser,” which features overweight contestants who compete to become thinner and more socially acceptable versions of themselves.
