Literary 'Dummies' getting TV treatment

"Whatever topic you can think of, there's a 'Dummies' book for it," said Arthur Smith, who runs his TV production company with Kent Weed. "There's such a plethora of information, and these are books -- not pamphlets." While no major specifics were given regarding the project, Weed said he and Smith would try to make the TV adaptation of the popular manuals both educational and entertaining. Producers are considering a game show format, among other possible formats, Daily Variety said.
