Carnival cruise director may get TV sitcom

John on deck (photo courtesy of Carnival) Move over “Love Boat,” according to Carnival cruise director, John Heald, Carnival is now in early talks with ”a major TV producer” about doing a TV sitcom, which would likely feature a cruise director in a central role. The show would be based on Heald’s widely popular blog.

”I think it has tremendous potential,” says Roger Blum, Carnival’s vice president of cruise programming. “Reading John’s blog is like another episode every day.”

Indeed, I hope John Heald gets to be the star of the show — how cool would that be?

Telly ho! Or is that Tally Ho? :)

    Seriously, hasn’t this concept been done before? What’s next, another Leave it to Beaver re-tread.

    I have read his blog, but have not found it to be either entertaining or informative — but maybe that’s a good barometer for a TV show.
