“Live Like You’re Dying” Pilot Ordered
Oh sure, the country song of the same name was good, but I am not so sure about the newest CBS reality show. “Live Like You’re Dying” was created by and will be hosted by “Survivor” veteran Jeff Probst, but the premise seems like a bit of a downer to me. The show will feature the “last adventure” of a terminally ill patient’s life and also include reunions with estranged family and friends.

Probst says the focus will not be on the person’s illness, but rather how the patient lives what time she or he has left to the fullest. I just cannot help but think the whole idea, while wonderful in concept, will just be depressing to watch. How can you watch a dying person on an adventure and not worry about what happens next? This isn’t like “Extreme Makeover,” which inevitably makes me cry – chances are, there are no happy endings for these people.
What do you think about this new show?
