New York, NY -- Time-challenged people who can't devote an hour of their time for an hour-long reality show can now get their fill of reality in just two minutes.

A TV production company called Nexpert News has produced the first two-minute reality show, called "Genius on a String", where two teams of three compete to see how well they can create a buzz for a new innovation.

For instance, in one episode, teams are given a computer and phone with video playing capability and told to do an attention-grabbing stunt.

So one team takes over a tour bus in downtown New York while the other produces a game show in Times Square.

"Genius On A String" producer David Post says the timely show was created because people really love reality TV, but live "time-compressed" lives.

The short dose of reality will be aired on local New York newscasts in the upcoming weeks.
