Clock starts for TNN's ``Counting''

By Paula Bernstein

NEW YORK (Variety) - Viacom's TNN cable network has ordered 13 episodes of ``15 and Counting,'' a documentary series from ``Behind the Music'' producer Gay Rosenthal.

``15 and Counting,'' which will launch later this year, will explore people who have had 15 minutes of fame and the events that made them famous.

Each one-hour episode will include interviews, news clips, personal photos, home movies and other features that evoke the period in which the highlighted person achieved notoriety.

The pilot episode will focus on Donato Dalrymple, the fisherman who rescued Elian Gonzalez at sea.

``With Donato Dalrymple, you can actually see him begin his 15 minutes of fame as he steps off the dock and into the national spotlight. We'll probe beyond the headlines for the real story that the media coverage never fully revealed,'' said Rosenthal.

In the process of transforming itself from a country music-oriented network to a general entertainment network, TNN is beefing up its primetime schedule with original programming.
