No, you’re not having a waking nightmare. It’s really happening. So says Patrick Gavin and Jeff Dufour in their Yeas and Nays column in the Examiner.

We can now exclusively confirm that Lifetime has picked up the show and filming begins in September. The half-hour show is slated to air in November and has scored a crucial timeslot: Immediately following Lifetime’s popular reality show, “Project Runway” (which will switch from Bravo to the Lifetime network this fall).

So, we know we’re supposed to be horrified. And trust us, we are. But now that it appears there’s really going to be a reality TV show that follows the infamous Late Night Shots crew as they stumble around drunk between the only two Georgetown bars they’re willing to go to, we have to admit there’s not a chance in the world we’re going to be able to keep from watching this thing. Even worse, we’re going to have to blog about it, giving the show exactly the sort of free publicity it surely desires. Are we aware we’re playing right into their hands? Yes. Are we proud of ourselves? Of course not. Are we already programming our TiVos? You betcha.
