ReelzChannel Cancels �The Big Picture� After One Taping; Set Friction
Rumored Cause, CEO Blames �Bad Chemistry�
By JEN YAMATO
EXCLUSIVE: All it took was a single taping for ReelzChannel to pull
the plug on its new weekly series The Big Picture. The entertainment
talk show co-hosted by So You Think You Can Dance and Good Day LA alum
Lauren Sanchez and ex-Telemundo host Alex Cambert filmed last Thursday
at the network�s studio in Albuquerque. But things went so
disastrously that by Friday execs were talking cancellation. They made
the decision final on Monday. �It just didn�t play well,� Reelz CEO
Stan E. Hubbard told Deadline. �We had high hopes for it.� The network
had ordered 26 episodes of The Big Picture just two weeks ago but an
inside source blames co-host Cambert for causing on-set friction.
According to Hubbard there was indeed �bad chemistry� on set in what
he describes as �not a good team effort.� Both Cambert and Sanchez
were exec producers on the show. While Reelz�s working relationship
with the duo is officially over, Hubbard thinks Sanchez will resurface
on the network on another project. �She is a treat to work with and
I�m sure we�ll find something to do with her in the future,� he said.
Reelz, meanwhile, is focusing on their new Beverly Hills Pawn series
and the premiere of November�s docu JFK: The Smoking Gun.
