Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are, in fact, shopping around the idea of a reality show about their relationship — but the sticking point appears to be the level of commitment on the network side.

“They want a commitment for an entire series, but right now, there’s only been interest in testing this out as a pilot,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE, adding that negotiations are ongoing. “There aren’t a lot of options for them out there, and this is their best chance at making a decent amount of money.”

Sheesh. Kids these days. They just don't want to work for their ersatz fame. Don't they know you're supposed to fuck up an entire state, destroy a presidential campaign, turn an already foundering political party into a caricature of it's regressive self, debase the entire English language and lower the national IQ before you get your own self aggrandizing quasi political reality show? Didn't your mother teach you anything?

6. Is a porn video considered a "reality show"?

If I were their highschool guidance counselor I would probably steer them in that direction.

They're not very particular about what they program.

9. Are they together for the kid or for the fame?

I was happy for them when they got back together, but now I have to wonder if it's a sham.

12. You know what kind of reality show they should have

instead of all these stupid republicans like Palin and her kids how about a reality show that features the middle class and the poor. How they are coping in this society with no jobs. With no money coming in, losing their houses, their transportation, and no money to feed the kids.
And then show what is causing all the heart ache. The republicans who screwed it up in the first place, and the republicans who are stopping anything the Democrats get around to trying to do to fix it.

NOW HELL WOULDN'T THAT BE A '''REALITY'''SHOW.

14. This is why they got back together.

So what we have is a group of backwood huckster hustlers. Bristol is trash like her mommy.

15. They will probably succeed in their quest

Idiocracy + Asshattery = Reality Show.

16. Have you ever watched that tv show, King of the Hill?

You know the scenes where the four guys are standing together in front of the fence, nothing to do, nothing to talk about? All they do is utter "Yup" one at a time? THAT is what a reality show about these idiots would be.
