Spike TV will air six episodes of
DEA this spring, a reality show that was filmed entirely in Detroit.
Excerpt:
[Producer Russell] Muth says that Michigan has definitely been loud and clear about trying

that somebody says, 'Hey, we'd like you to come here!' -- It's just not

Overall, Size 12 found Detroit to
be a good location to film, and a city that Muth, a Baltimore native,
enjoyed spending time in. "I had never spent so much time in Michigan,"
he says. "Detroit is a no nonsense and, in terms of people, really salt
of the earth -- and a real measure of any city is its people.
There
is definitely a huge amount of loyalty for the city. If people who
reside there reject it, then you've got a problem -- and that is not
the case here."
