On November 29, 2007, American television production company Vin Di Bona Productions filed to protect the trademark reality.tv in relation to an “entertainment website, display of video clips and user generated content and provision of opportunities to develop audio-visual entertainment for all media from user generated content”.
Vin Di Bona Productions is best known for its popular show America’s Funniest Home Videos.
The applicant is actually listed as “Johnny Lindy DBA Vin Di Bona Productions”. Di Bona was known as Johnny Lindy as a teenager and had a brief career as a musician in New England in the 1960s. A little odd that Di Bona would be using his decades-old stage name for a recent trademark filing, but whatever…
While the reality.tv whois listing is private, the reality.tv domain has a “coming soon” placeholder image, suggesting we’ll soon be seeing “Life For Real”. Great. Like the writer’s strike isn’t generating enough new reality TV shows already.
