Bubblehead
is a pilot for a TV show about a young actress struggling
for fame in Hollywood. She suffers a stage accident while
auditioning for a movie production of Macbeth, slipping on
blood and getting knocked unconscious. She wakes up with the
supernatural ability to read though bubbles over the heads
of everyone she meets-directors, producers, other actors,
homeless people. With this new ability she is faced with the
temptation to take the easy route to cheap Reality TV fame,
or rely on her talent for something more valuable.
Malibu
Fire is a pilot for a TV show about a young
fire-fighter from Montana named Cooper, who is transferred
to a small fire station in Malibu. From the mountains in the
least populated part of the United States, Cooper lands among
the swimming pools and movie stars of Malibu-Hollywood’s
favorite seaside bedroom community. As he spends the summer
responding to accidents on PCH, dealing with grumpy movie
stars and rehabbing rock stars, snake bites, shark attacks
and all the little dramas of Malibu, Cooper faces the overall
drama of Malibu-the threat of raging brushfires that threaten
to engulf the town.
