Ryan O'Neal has brokered a reality tv deal for his jailed son Redmond, reports In Touch.

In what may be the worst idea I've ever heard, the new reality show, which has yet to find a home, will feature a newly freed Redmond as he tries to get his life back on track after addiction and jail.

“Redmond wants to do this to honor his mother. He really wants to get better to honor her memory,” said an O'Neal friend.

But was it really Redmond's idea? “Redmond has signed the deal that was brokered for him by his dad,” the pal said, adding, “Ryan will be on the show, too.”

Considering Ryan's worked on screen with his kids before, and it hasn't exactly strengthened their relationship, this sounds like a baaaaaad idea.

Yet somehow, I don't think I'll be able to turn away from it!
