  Executive producer Jeff Folmsbee and series producer Mark Mannucci named the show EGG because that perfect work of art from nature symbolizes beginnings and possibilities.
  ...
  The pilot run was just a beginning for the series , Folmsbee says.Now that we're about to launch the national premiere season , the possibilities are endless and we're one step closer to our goal of elevating the arts to a more prominent place in people's lives..
  
  From the art of bonsai to the thrill of the dance , EGG presents intriguing stories from across the country in a dynamic cinéma vérité style.Each weekly episode in the premiere season takes a theme – How to be Happy , Body Language , Flight , Unnatural Science , and Collectors , to name a few – and explores it through the prism of the arts.Ranging from the unconventional to the poignant to the controversial , EGG promises to be unlike any arts program you've seen before.
  
  ...
  Executive producer is Jeff Folmsbee.

  PBS will put $1 million into the series, helping New York's WNET to produce 26 new episodes and repeat 10 from the pilot season that aired on about 14 stations, says Jeff Folmsbee, executive producer.
  ...
  Folmsbee happily announces that the series plays in Peoria.The Illinois city was one of four (with New York, Atlanta and San Francisco) where the producers tested their pilot episodes in focus groups.Though he was terrified about what they would say, he said more focus-group participants liked the show than didn't, and the older ones liked it as much as the younger.

  PBS will put $1 million into the series, helping New York's WNET to produce 26 new episodes and repeat 10 from the pilot season that aired on about 14 stations, says Jeff Folmsbee, executive producer.Pew Charitable Trusts earlier pitched in $2 million over two years; a number of loyal WNET arts donors also back the series.
  
  Produced by the team that won a dozen Emmys last year with the similar local series City Arts and City Life, Egg profiles performers and other artists with highly edited, verite mini-docs, without host narration.They define art broadly-from the street to the museum and stage-but stay clear of the pop stars who are the grist for Entertainment Tonight.

  "PBS green-lit the pilot, committed production funds and promised us common carriage for the pilot, which is a big step forward for the unit, because Egg never got that," says Jeff Folmsbee, executive producer of both shows.
  ...
  In classic producer's pitchspeak, the Egg team leaders, Folmsbee and Producer Mark Mannucci, call the show "This American Life meets Antiques Roadshow."
  ...
  Wilcha and Freyer came to the WNET unit, according to Folmsbee, because independent producers had worked closely with the unit since 1995 on Egg and its predecessor local series City Arts and City Life, winning multiple Emmys and Peabodys.
  ...
  "We think it has wide appeal," says Folmsbee."Unlike Egg, which we felt would have wide appeal," he adds ruefully.
  
  This time, the appeal will be wider, Folmsbee predicts."It's a real playful pop-culture safari," he says."There is a wit and intelligence and accessibility and non-smarminess."With its mixed feelings toward America's junk, Second Hand Stories straddles consumerism and anti-consumerism, he contends.
  ...
  Folmsbee and Mannucci call Broadway Workshop "a faux reality comedy."Though they had worked with stage talent in the Tony Award specials they produced for WNET until this year, they had been frustrated by limited access to the creative process, Folmsbee says.So they had their own musical written -- Traps -- and shot 250 hours of rehearsals and backstage hysteria last fall.PBS is looking at the just-completed hour-long version.Folmsbee isn't sure whether Traps will end up as a special or a series.
  ...
  Folmsbee says the show fuses documentary and fiction."It's completely fictitious, yet completely real," he says.
  ...
  While Mannucci wraps up the Traps hour, Folmsbee has been trying to convert 300 art segments from Egg and City Arts into an Egg Educational Toolkit ("Edu-Egg, we call it") for classroom use.He's making a DVD demo that gives easy access to segments that profile more than 700 artists.Meanwhile, Egg has new life on cable.For a price in the high six figures, according to Folmsbee, WNET sold 46 episodes, complete with PBS logo, to Trio, a new pop-culture cable channel owned by USA Networks.
