Any “Survivor” fans out there? New Death Show in the works.

A  New York Post article reports that Jeff Probst’s new Survivor show about dying is still alive and in the works.  The show is called, “Live for the Moment“, and is somewhat in limbo with CBS for the coming 2010 fall season.  Will a show about death and dying generate an audience large enough to keep it going?  Could the subject run out of steam too quickly, as CBS frets?  Here’s a snip from the article:

Each week, “Live for the Moment,” which Probst created and will executive produce alongside Mark Burnett, will send a different person with a terminal disease diagnosis on an uplifting adventure related to an unfulfilled wish, like and exotic trip or hoped-for reunion.

Having shot the pilot episode earlier this year, starring a man with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Probst says, “It’s the best thing I’ve ever been a part of.   It’s so inspirational and so positive, I really believe its time for the show.

“I think people will see it and it will prompt them to think, ‘Am I living? Do I like my job? Should I do something different?’ You’ve got to wake up and start living.”

Turns out that be cause Probst is shooting two seasons of “Survivor” back to back — he’s currently in Samoa, gearing up for the 19th season of the compet ition show — he “can’t even start shooting [‘Live for the Moment’] until the end of September, when I’m back from double duty on ‘Survivor.’ The earliest I could have episodes done would be January.”

Without the safety net of having a few episodes in the can until then, CBS — currently the No. 1 network — didn’t want to take any chances announcing it as a mid-season replacement either, just in case the series still wasn’t ready.

But, Probst says he recently got another e-mail from the network saying that “they love the show.” As a result, “I feel very confident that we’re doing it,” he says.
