danaeris | The first ever Poly TV show

What if your local television network had a sitcom/drama about a poly couple and their friends and family?

Well, in a year or two they might.

Dear poly peeps!

A few years ago, I co-created an idea for a sex- and relationship-
based television show about the lives of a group of neighbors in
alternative relationships and the comedy that stems from "living
outside the box." I named it Polly & Marie, a play on the term
polyamory.

The intention of the show was and still is to get more positive
examples of alternative lovestyles out into the public
consciousness. Well, the pilot for this half-hour dramedy has
actually been filmed and edited and is now being shopped around for
a home on the small screen!

And as great as this news is, I'm contacting you for your support
and your feedback...

YOUR FEEDBACK:

Let me know what you think. I've been pretty hands-off on the
project after the initial script rewrites, and your thoughts and
suggestions will be invaluable as Polly & Marie moves forward.

There's never been a show like this. With everyone's help and
feedback, getting more examples of what is possible in relationships
on TV can become a reality!

Love and great TV,

And here is more description of the show:

Polly & Marie is a scripted half-hour dramedy revolving around the
love lives of a 30-something interracial, polyamorous couple, Scott
and Rebecca McCaw, who have agreed to open up their marriage to see
other people, and the sexual and relationship highjinx of their
fellow alternative life styled friends and neighbors: Bartholomew
and Ernesto, a monogamous gay couple, one of whom, is still closeted
to his family, and the frustrated, single, sexy, and celibate
lipstick lesbian, Faith, who is the surrogate mother to the gay
couple's son.

Also featured are: Kevin, a gospel hip hop recording artist, who
happens to be Rebecca's brother, Bell, a serial monogamist who is
widow to seven husbands and may lose the eighth at any moment and
Judge Eve Landers, a well-known, conservative federal court judge
(Rebecca's Mother).

I do recommend watching the trailer; it's definitely funny and well done. I would add the caveat that although the trailer does not make it clear that RELATIONSHIPS occur, that doesn't mean that this will just be swinging/polyfuckery. Even the pilot might not tell us that.
