Okay, free agenda, you get to create your own most unlikely prime-time TV show. What would it be?

A few starters:

  • "The top ten whacky Al-jazeera Out-takes"
  • "The raunchy side of accountancy"
  • "The Customer is always right" - the Sony Online Entertainment Story
  • "Keeping a low profile - a guide to Personal discretion" hosted by Jerry Springer"
  • "Lose weight the Nick Berg way"

  • There must be more. . .

    I think I would make one called:

    "10 easy steps to verbally assault my daughter: The story of the Asylum"

    I'd do a new version of "McMillan and Wife".

    That show rules.

    -When Sockpuppets Attack!

    Don't really have another original idea for a TV show atm, but I'd like to see a couple of the regular Asylum posters on Crossballs.

    "Get a Life" was already on the air, albeit breifly. Chris Elliott still needs to.

    I've been planning out a show of my own - The Stoned Chef. Exactly what it sounds like.

    1. Dirty Laundry. - Bring people on TV to dump their boyfriend/girlfriend and let them both tell all.

    2. STFU - Hosted by Dennis Leary. Bring prominent people with dumbass opinions on just so Dr. Dennis can administer some medicine.

    3. Where's Osama? - Get Dione, Ms. Cleo, John Edward, and any other 'psychic' on the show and let them send in the troops to the locations they pick. Only, if no Osama, the psyhic gets exceuted instead.

    4. Huh, I'll whip yer ***. - Anyone can sign up. You get to call out whomever you please. If they accept, you get a televised fistfight. No holds barred, settle your differences. Participants get free dental.

    Dont know what you'd call it.

    Put cameras in cars and have them drive around in high traffic situations. When someone comes who drives like a total douchebag, they follow them and give them justice. Sometimes just tailgate them, or follow them to their destination and scare the crap outta them, or run them off the road. I think everyone would love that show.

    Having to commute an hour to/from work, I'd gladly volunteer for that show. I'm by no means the greatest driver in the world, but damn, some people just don't deserve to have a license.

    A TV impressionist renowned in the UK for his convincing impressions of Ozzy Osbourne (He's even fooled people who know Ozzy) this week did "At home with the Bin Ladens" - Ozzy with beard and turban, Sharon in full Burkah. Awesome sketch.

    Favourite part was Ozzy next to a large dangerous looking Box shouting "Sharon, I've got this Weapon of Mass Destruction and I can't even work the F*cking remote control" Priceless.

    Background - this guy (John Culshaw) phoned No. 10 Downing Street live on a radio show in '98 pretending to be the Leader of the Conservative Party (William Hague at the time). Not only did he get through to Tony Blair, he had a weird conversation with him before Bush's favourite poodle rumbled that it wasn't the real Hague.

    Clip isn't online yet, but to see his 'Dubya', click here or here.

    I doubt it would be really popular, but I would like to see a show which follows people through a day in their life and they sumarize what they do, in their own words.

    What do architects do all day? What is it like to work for NASA? What are the lives of, say, field workers in the US really like? How does that compare to the field workers in, say, England or the Netherlands?

    The idea would be to make the program without any bias: if the show follows a manager of a small store and the guy is obviously evil to his employees the show should not emphasize it or hide it. Just present what happens and let viewers decide for themselves. This would take fearless, selfless, agenda-less editing. The minute anything is added in to make this person "the hero" or "the villen" or "the victim" the show looses it's credibility - which is all it has going for it.

    Of course the selection of who to choose to follow would be difficult, clearly choosing at random would lead to very repetitive shows as so many people have similar dead end office or food service jobs. Yet to show only really cool jobs is equally bad.

    The Running Man, but the contestants would be everyone who has ever appeard on, worked on, wanted to be on, or conceived of a reality television show. Of course the paradox lies in that i'd have to go on the show myself for having created it, but that is something i'd be willing to do to get reality shows off the air (and i might just get to shoot the guy who created "The Swan" in the face).
