Woman unsuccessful at suing Colorado-based producers for stealing reality show idea


An Alabama woman failed to convince a judge that a Denver-based production company stole her idea for a mother-daughter home renovation show that now airs on HGTV.
Melanie Tolbert filed a copyright infringement claim last year against High Noon Entertainment, claiming the show "Good Bones" was similar to a pitch she sent to producers in 2014 for a home renovation program. Tolbert's concept, called "Like Mother, Like Daughter," and the accompanying teaser video reportedly went to more than a dozen producers and executives affiliated with HGTV. 
However, High Noon and HGTV employees testified that a search began in late 2013 for a show along those lines. A casting producer found Two Chicks and a Hammer, an Indianapolis business of Karen Leine and Mina Starsiak. High Noon completed a cut of a "sizzle reel" by February 2014 featuring the mother-daughter team, who became the stars of the ultimate show.
