Love Decoys & Sex Decoys: Sizzle Reel
J. Barlow: exec. prod. / shooter / segment director
Created by J. Barlow & C. Boccaccio
Production Co: The Wolper Organization & Alley Cats
Suspicious women enlist Love Detective, Sandra Hope to set “man-traps” for their flirting fiancés. Will these guys take the bait and try to cheat?
LOVE DOCOYS was the first unscripted show Boccaccio and I pitched together. At the coaxing of our William Morris literary agent, we produced a 5- minute sizzle reel, found our star out of Arizona, and enlisted producers, Tom Klein (of Blind Date) & Mark Wolper (Bullshit, etc). Tru-TV funded our pilot and we went to work Executive Producing and acting as field producers. Fox Reality then picked up our concept as a series which went on to capture the highest ratings in the Network’s history. Production was halted when Fox Reality rebranded and became Nat Geo Wild.
