Lane told XBIZ that anywhere from 15-20 ABC staff members were assigned to her, and that she had at least two with her at all times. All told, they captured roughly 30 hours of footage, including some time spent hanging out with her parents, working at KSEX Radio, and dancing at the XFANZ launch party.
Lane told XBIZ that she saw the ABC show not only as a chance to promote herself, but also to promote a more positive image for the adult industry and sexuality in general. She conceded that the mainstream media has a long history of vilifying the adult industry but said that the crew from ABC assured her that they wouldn't portray her in a bad light.
"All in all, people have a very negative perception of this indsutry, but with the people from ABC, I really think they said, 'Hey, we can connect with these people [from the adult industry],'" she said. "They turned out to be more open-minded than I thought."
But given the mainstream media's history of hatchet-jobs against the adult industry, why did Lane agree to the project in the first place?
"I'm a very strong woman, and I know where I want to be and what I want to do," she said. "I know there's been some bad press about the adult industry in the past, but there's been some good press, too, lately."
Indeed, Seymore Butts and Ron Jeremy have been on the receiving end of some positive exposure from the mainstream media. Butts starred on Showtime's now-defunct reality show "Family Business," and Jeremy's new autobiography, "The Hardest (Working) Man In Show Business," hit stores recently. Both stars are friends with Lane and offered her constant moral support, she said.
Looking ahead to next Tuesday's broadcast, Lane said that she's very optimistic, adding that she thinks the eccentric tone of "Prime Time" will benefit herself and the adult industry. Prime Time's previous subjects include polygamy, autism, serial murder, brainwashing and asexuality.
She also stresses that she has a positive lesson to teach.
"We do teach people in the world about themselves. That's one of the main reasons why I do this. It's all about sexual well-being and health, because people don't look at each other every day and say, 'I love you.'"
