Family Plots
Encyclopedia : F : FA : FAM : Family Plots
Family Plots was a reality television show that followed the ongoing events and the eccentric employees that work at the family-run Poway Bernardo Mortuary in Poway, California. It ran for two seasons on the A&E Network.
The show mainly focused on the relationships between the employees. At times it also focused on the deceased that passed through the mortuary. The deceased themselves were seen from time to time on the show, but care was taken by crew to ensure the privacy of the deceased. While the work done in the preparation room was shown, the more graphic portions of the work were not shown in order to keep a PG rating. Yet, it was still shocking to some because of blood going through tubes.
Family Plots was cancelled in late 2005. Fan sites and clubs have reacted strongly to the cancellation and there are indications that A&E executives may be reconsidering the cancellation. Rumors also abound of the show being shopped to other networks.
An [online petition to save the show] has been circulating on the web. Interested persons may also visit the [Family Plots Yahoo group] to keep up with news as events transpire.
