Marlee Matlin believes the English speaking world is ready for a reality show starring a Deaf family.
The networks seem to disagree. After lots of reports that several networks were interested, none gave the premise the go ahead as a show.
Apparently the networks believe we are more interested in families who swap wives than a family who is culturally and linguistically different from main street USA, yet struggling with the same American issues we all face.
I disagree. I think Marlee has tapped into something we all need: a way to recognize ourselves in our differences.
Stop by her you-tube channel and see the pilot. If you agree, won't you write a letter to a studio and and tell them so? I don't know which one Marlee would prefer, but she has always had a great relationship with NBC (Home to The West Wing and Reasonable Doubts), so I would like to start there.
Or click her twitter link at the top of the page and ask her which she would prefer.
As she says, "Let's make some noise!"
