ISLAND FEVER Lee's is just one of the shows that will spoof ''Survivor''
Pamela Anderson: Frank Trapper/Corbis Sygma
All About
JAGJust as sure as the tides on Pulau Tiga, CBS' ''Survivor'' is bringing waves of spoofs to fall TV. On ''V.I.P.,'' Pamela Anderson competes on the fictitious ''Desert Island'' -- and is saved by her security agency. Over at UPN's ''The Hughleys,'' home repairs force the family and its neighbors to camp out in a backyard tent so cramped they decide to vote someone out.
And on CBS' ''JAG,'' the Navy rescues a woman who appears stranded on a raft -- and ends up disqualified from a ''Survivor''-like show. ''If ['Who Wants to Be a] Millionaire' was still No. 1, we would have probably spoofed 'Millionaire,''' says ''JAG'' exec producer Don Bellisario. ''I'm sick of 'Millionaire.''' But not as sick as we are of those hokey tribal councils.
