Help Wall Street Warriors Find A New Home, Cast Your Vote Here!

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 4th of Nov, 2008 08:30:32 AM

Following up on my newfound job as the only blogger to give a shit about WSW, starting with that season 3 casting call and the announcement that MOJO is going under on December 1st, now comes word that WSW’s badass producers Scott Gill & Sean Skelton are looking for a new network to air season 3.

Their PR person got the NY Times to bite first with this article that says:

“We’ll be done with production in the next four to six weeks,” Mr. Skelton said. “We’ll be done editing the show probably by February or March.”

He said that the team is continuing to document the turmoil on Wall Street, and is committed to finding an outlet to distribute the series.

And with the optimism of stock brokers telling their clients to stay in the market, Mr. Skelton and Mr. Gill say they are confident that they will find a new network. “I think,” Mr. Skelton said, “we’ll be around for a fourth season.”

So, now is your time to be heard, what network should WSW3 be on? Choose carefully, we don’t want another MOJO situation when WSW4 becomes ready in 2010 or 2011!

(I told Dealbreaker my choice would be CNBC although it’s tough for the network to air a reality show considering the Wall Street they portray–one based on Buffett-like analysis, full of PEs and product reception aka the reason so many of their viewers are down 40% on the year, just like old Warren B. The Regulator–is very different)

    If I where the producer I just wait it out until the sequel to Wallstreet - Grecko - Michael Douglas comes out! It will draw a lot of interest in this series.

    I love the series 1 and 2 and was hoping to see 3 either online or on DVD. If nothing else; they should package 1,2,3 on DVD and sell it together if they still cannot find a channel or they need some $$$$$$$$.

    I think QVC or HSN would be good for the show. But then again, Cartoon Network would best encase the thought processes of these chidren.

    Tim,

    With this comment on "old warren B" you just proved your complete ignorance and lack of knowledge.

    Warren buffet is a business man, not some stupid trader like you. And YOU and pennystocking are not real trading, your exploiting scams.....you dont need alot of trading ability to do it.

    If you knew anything about the stock market you would know buffet is probably happy as larry that stocks are down, because he never sells anyway and has huge amounts of cash to sweep up cheap businesses.

    Your comment is simply retarded.

    Thanks,

    What they really need to do is have two follow up episodes and catch up with the folks in the first 2 seasons to see where they are at now. I would love to see where that assbag cowboy Lance Cooley ended up after he was exposed as a Boiler Room wannabe w/ barely any market knowledge.

    You would think CNBC but it doesn't have a big enough audience to warrant them spending the cash for an actual series. There is no entertainment network that focus' on anthing business related so its a tough call. Spike is to caveman-centric and probably wouldn't fit there either. I would go with either Bravo or FX but FX still primarily only airs fictional content.
  • Well bravo has been doing a lot of wealthy lifestyle reality shows lately, so I would probably go with bravo--something that is a little more accessible to everyone. The only thing is their series tend to focus on drama-fied housewives and pansy men. They need something different. Although pbs usually covers some good programs as well..

    Has to be HBO so they can show the whores and the coke...the real wall street
  • Eric
    TRUTV
  • NOVA
    HBO sounds like a good fit
  • Adriel
    BRAVO is my pick, but may go to CNBC. I dont see it being big any where else. You need to get on season 4 Tim!
  • JJ
    MTV for sure!
  • Sullivan

    I realize your busy, but you claim to have a desire to teach. And you even say for your "students" to post any questions & you will try to answer them. If your website was proficent, I would just be able to do a search on your site for archives containing information that you provided previously.I'm new to this so I spent $300 for your dvd. I guess my condom has a hole in it. If it were more informative, I wouldnt even have to ask what you obviuosly consides to be bothersome or stupid questions. Thanks for all your help!
  • Sullivan
    I told you motherfuckers! The stock is already up to 8,33 bucks. I hope all of you profited
  • Lenny
    I'll say Lifetime as a joke...
    but seriously...Spike seems to be a good fit...they want to portray a "testosterone" network, what better than a bunch of egomaniacal, brash, cocky trader-reality show?
  • Sullivan
    I suppose AMLN is a sure gain, like it's sure to have taxes
  • Sullivan
    I am buying lots of AMLN Today the stock has fallen sharply and for no reason only because investors were pocketing their profit from Friday’s gain.

    The company is very solid and I guess it would rise 10% in 3 hours.
  • The Chad
    I say FX - although, I think HULU.com should pick this up too...
  • TimDaMan
    Through my contracts I've heard there is actually a bidding war between the networks for a piece of this show. As I told you yesterday, Tim Sykes is getting major attention in the industry.

    A & E
  • Jay Cornelius
    Gotta be BRAVO because they have high def.
  • Cletus
    FX network
  • Bob (VC)
    I think HBO is a natural fit, but I'd hate to have to pay to watch it. Probably just DL it on iTunes.
  • Maybe if CBS turned it into a high stakes reality show it might succeed. I vote Sundance.

    Tim someday your prize next time should be a lifetime membership not some lame one month.
  • how about Current TV?
