It would be sort of like suing a hobbyist for violating a "no review" policy by a provider. An ND would be a complete waste of time.

and no one want to tell the positive side of escorting, not when tales of "sex slavery" and "exploitation" are so much jucier.

Sounds like it would air a premium network, or MSNBC, or Viacom network.

 
You should have gotten that info.

this point whoever is behind the IDEA of the series , is just looking for casting .
Probably to get a test pilot done , to pitch to different networks, to see if anyone will pick it up.
Or maybe a network that would consider such a series hasn't actually committed to the project .
 
Many times , shows that are casted and even filmed , never get picked up .
or get turned down but are asked for changes and after changes are made get picked up.

Hence no announcement about which network or even name of series .
or even if this idea ever becomes more then just an idea.

Saw some ads on CL , about casting .
Seems like someone who wants to tell the positive side of escorting ......but maybe that isn't interesting enough LOL LOL LOL  

To OP's original question . I think it should be a given that escorts protect the privacy of their clients .  ( unless it is someone who is dangerous )  
Even if it isn't in writing , it is like a non verbal given ( well for me it is )  ....... unless it is about someone who is already publicly known .......
Like everyone knows Charlie Sheen has seen escorts. ;-).......but still no juicy details should be told.
meaning not ok to tell a story  , in connection to someone's name.  

Escorts , Former escorts can tell their stories , as long as they don't mention names.

BTW , even with "signed non discloser agreements " people have known to get away with telling secrets of the rich and famous .

Sticking to ladies who truly care about protecting privacy ,is the best way to protect your privacy.

Any bets if this Docu-Series will ever happen ?? LOL LOL

not being able to enforce a contract with a hit man for putting a hit out on someone, not legally binding to protect an illegal activity.

No it isn't backwards. They are not advertising about a new show .  
The ads are for a show that is in development stages .
Whoever is behind the show , for now is looking to cast .

Many times shows make pilots to pitch to different networks .
and at times , casting happens and never goes further then that .

While it sounds like a "showtime" ( Think Gigolos ) type of show .
it can be any type of cable network .  
There are cable networks that we may have never even heard of or get

Like I had cox cable so I never had Audience network. ( although maybe now you can get it through cox )
Audience network has original series that are pretty cool .  
So I switched to Direct TV , plus it was cheaper then cox .

My point is , there are so many cable networks and new networks .....it can go beyond a premium network , MSNBC or Viacom.  
Networks keep buying each other out , splitting , creating new ones and before you even make a post about it , can be sold back to original parent company ......
who can even keep up with all that  LOL LOL LOL  

So once ( if ever ) the show gets to THAT stage in development , you will find out "which network"

Don't even ask me why I know so much about casting ,show developments and network pitching  LOL LOL

In a way , it bothers me. or maybe annoys me is a better word.  
Also bothers me that women get looked down on for being a stripper.
but male strippers ...... oh that is cool and sexy .
Ex male strippers can move on to become huge movie stars ,
but an ex female stripper maybe can only be on reality TV ( if even  ;) .....and she still will be viewed in a negative way.

like OMG she used to be a stripper ..... what a whore !!
He used to be a stripper ...... OMG look how hot and sexy he looks .  

But I can go on and on about many things that bother me about society and double standard ....
in politics , religion , marriage etc.

Society has way to many problems and issues .

I personally don't care what other people think of me. I know who and what type a person I am .
If other people want to be judgmental,  well I can't control how others think or feel .
I can only control how I react .
The "bother part"  is because of society's judgment it may effect certain things that are not under my control and not fair ........but no one said life is fair ;-) ;-) ;-)  

Maybe when society will start working on the bigger things , life will be fair for everyone ;-) ;-)  

Well a girl can have dreams ;-) ;-) ;-)

Speaking of the cable show Gigolos.  As a provider, does it upset you that they glorify the Gigolos and they're welcomed by socialites at gala events, when Escorts are slammed in the press for being prostitutes?  I've often thought this was unfair and wonder why our society will accept male prostitutes and not female ones.

and whether it was produced through an actual network.

 

The OP mentioned "cable series". "Pilot series" would have cleared that up.

 

Some what related question. How do entertainers and producers, push the envelope, in this day and age?

 
How does Molly Cyrus, compete with something as potentially controversial as gay marriage?

Churches, parents, schools, legislators, and LE would have heads exploading from sea to shining sea. It would be tantamount to "Howard Beale's" instructions to his viewers that they not pay their Taxes in the movie "Network". 'Howard Beale's' boss "Arthur Jenson's" vociferous admonition to him was/is disturbingly prophetic.

 "It is an international system of currency which determines the vitality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today"
(Arthur Jenson)

Since the beginning of television HOW shows are produced has changed and evolved .
Don't forget many many years ago TV only had the 3 major networks - ABC , CBS and NBC.

Today so many networks , so much competition that there is no ONE way how shows are produced.

Sometimes it is the actual network that develops and produces a show.
Sometimes a show is produced by an independent person ( or group ) and is shopped around for the right fit or right price.
Sometimes because a certain actor has a contract with a certain network , a show will be developed for that actor who is on that networks payroll.  

There are many other ways and stages of how shows are produced ......but that is in short .  

The OP probably didn't even know ( or maybe he didn't realize the difference )that it was for a "pilot series"  because many times the "advertisers" don't put that info out there .
Sometimes they don't want people to know it is for a "pilot " who doesn't even have a home ( network )  yet , cause some may think it is a waste of time .

Like imagine 2 different auditions that are being held at the same time .  
One is for a show that has a name , has it's network set , the other doesn't  .
As an actor which audition would the actor most likely choose to go to if he could only get to one of the two auditions ? ;-)  

Since I am not sure which ad the OP saw , I don't know for sure what words he chose to use .
but I saw an ad for this , that didn't mentioned it being a "Pilot Series" , the ad said something like -" casting now a cable series for a major network"
Cause that sounds better , right ?

Like a real estate agent may place an ad saying - For sale ,  "cozy and cute"  .
but whoever understands the real estate business knows that it most likely means  
"small and cramped"  

because I know and understand how the biz of showbiz works,  I was just explaining why you (  or OP )  couldn't find any network info.  

I hope this makes sense ,  ;-) ;-)  

I will address your other question in my next post .

The reason in general the envelope of anything can keep getting pushed and pushed is because of  
evolvement of society .

Like wasn't the I dream of Jeannie costume back in those days considered to be some big controversy because oh my god her belly button was showing .????

Well compared to what you see on TV today , that seems like nothing.  
but back then I guess it was a big deal.  
What I see as normal , back then wasn't .

Today's Miley Cyrus Twerking dance style is controversial . It is shocking , considered inappropriate , too sexy .........but wait,  isn't it what they used to say about  
"swing dance" ,  "the twist"  "the mamba " "disco" "dirty dancing"......basically almost every generation had something shocking that today seems like no big deal.

Like when Elvis wiggled his hips ?........back then it probably felt like how people feel about Miley's Twerking today .
Years from now I bet people will look back and won't understand the big deal about Miley's Twerking.  

HUH ??? Gay marriage is still considered controversial ??  LOL LOL LOL guess I live ahead of normal culture  LOL LOL  

How do entertainers and producers continue to push the envelope ? they are visionaries.  
They can see what will take other people 10 -20 years to see. ( or except )  

When Madonna pushed the envelope , I bet many thought  , where can anyone go from there ...
but yet more was found to push .  

As long as there is a part of society who remains , judgmental , there will always be a new envelope to push. ;-) ;-) ;-)  

Ok this is getting too philosophical  LOL LOL

I don't find Miley's (I called her Molly LOL) twerking the least bit controversial. The same goes for gay marriage. I wanted to make a comparison between the two while looking through my conservative filter.

...if I thought Miley's Twerking was controversial, well how controversial could that be, when we live in a country that legally embraces gay marriage?

 
I don't think the envelope can be pushed any further. Keep in mind I'm factoring in things beyond entertainment, which is not fair to this conversation, but I can not over look those things.

 
Don't mind me I can be difficult to converse with. :) I appreciate your summary of the topic at hand, and agree with what you're saying.

 
One more question, if you will...What is the most controversial thing you've seen on TV.

 
Not that I was offended, but I saw a chick on Mtv take a piss fully clothed.

I don't think you are difficult at all .

I think it may be a bit difficult for people ( myself included ) who are very opinionated and not afraid to express themselves , trying to communicate what they want to say , while trying to keep it short and to the point......so sometimes what we want to say gets misunderstood or lost in translation ( for me English is my 5th language )  

And it is ok to agree or agree to disagree .......not everyone has to share the same opinion .....
As long as one person isn't trying to force others to think as they do .

Yes we can have a debate , conversation , trying to maybe even convince another side to change their mind .

Like as the issue of Gay Marriage. I am all for people having the freedom to do as they want as long as they are not hurting other people .  
One of the reasons that I have always been Pro - Gay Marriage. Not because I am a 100% liberal .
certain issues I am Liberal and on other issues I am Conservative , but that is probably a discussion for the political board ;-)  

With that said - isn't the definition  of FREEDOM is that we are FREE to do what we want/chose ?

But I also get people who may have grown up a certain way and therefor are against Gay marriage.
I don't agree with them , but I do get where they are coming from.  
I may have a debate trying to explain to the other side why this is important. but I don't force them to believe what I believe in. and I expect the same from the other side .
that is where many of the double standards that I have a problem with in our society .
Both sides have problems . That is why I consider myself to be on my own side LOL LOL LOL  

When you first compared Milley's twerking with gay marriage , I didn't understand why you did that .Now when you came back explaining it a bit more , I went OH ok I see why he brought it up.

I think that part of the reason that Miley's twerking is controversial is because even though she is a  
legal adult ,( over 18 )  many still see her as the Hannah Montana Disney kid .  
No matter which extreme she try's to go to , to shake that off.
You know like those fathers who say - My daughter isn't going to have sex until she is 35 !
Really ??? that is silly . But for some fathers their daughters will always be daddy's little girl.

Also another problem is that Miley twerked up against a 37-38 year old man . ( even though she is at a legal age )  
It would have looked and felt different if she was twerking up against Justin Bieber. or Liam ( her ex )  

and of course at the end of the day as an entertainer she still has to create a shock and Ahh to keep her name out there .

Anyways to your question - "What is the most controversial thing I have seen on TV" ?
Now keep in mind you are asking someone who isn't offended easily ( if all )  is very open minded , tries very much not to be judgmental about anything , has seen it all ( or at least all most ;-) )  
So not shocked that easily ......... I really couldn't think of anything ...... maybe something like -
 
If a public figure is admitting to doing crack , why is he still in office ??? ;-)  
Now I don't have a problem if that is what he chooses to do with his life  and I am not judging .  
His life , his choice  
BUT I do think when someone is high,  they are not in the position to make certain decisions......
So how is he even still talking about keeping his job ?? This isn't even about "alleged" anymore .
This is already - Are you freakin kidding me ??

OR probably something like Beastiality (although I have never seen it on TV ) that is where I draw  
the line in my open-mindness .
Of course I am also against anything that would involve minors/rape/molesting  , but maybe because that is discussed/shown so much more , it isn't as shocking ....... I mean it still always shocks me - OMG how can someone do that to a child ,.......
I hope what I am trying to say makes sense ;-) ;-) ;-)

Just because something doesn't shock me doesn't mean it is something I would do .
For an example, a golden shower . Not something I would want to do .  
Not something that I fully understand ( but I do partially understand the humiliation psychological   aspect ) As long as it is between consenting adults and no one is getting hurt , well who am I to judge or say - yuck gross .  
Does that make sense ??? ;-) ;-) ;-)  

That is how I define , open minded with out judgment .
