It's the new reality show for the TCM crowd, it's: House of the Seven Gables!
Clark Gable is cloned seven times, and each clone is brainwashed to think they are in reality one of Clark Gable's greatest screen roles, like Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind, the reporter Peter from It Happened One Night (His only Oscar!), rubber plantation manager Dennis Carson from Red Dust, racketeer Blackie Gallagher from Manhattan Melodrama, gambler, gold prospector and sled dog enthusiast Jack Thornton from Call of the Wild, big game hunter and ladies' man Victor Marswell from Mogambo, and over-the-hill cowboy Gay Langland from The Misfits (or whichever Clark Gable characters viewers want to see most!). Then they're all thrown into a house together as roommates with hidden cameras everywhere Big Brother-style! See all the tough-guy action that follows!
And since they're all clones of Clark Gable, they're all actually Clark Gable, but acting like different movie characters, and so viewers get to vote off the Gables they don't like one-by-one until only the ultimate Clark Gable movie characterization is left as the greatest Clark Gable movie role of all time! Who wouldn't watch that, if they love old movies?
Finally a reality show for your grandparents, it's: House of the Seven Gables, coming soon!
