You get to make the next network tv show - your idea, your way, what is it
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 08:41 PM by Skip Intro
personally, I'd kinda like to see Jeannie revived, but she lives in a bong. Maybe the writers of That 70's Show could do it. ? Or broken lizard.

I'm ruling out tv news shows that report with fact and honesty in defernce to an oath to inform the people of the world of what is going on around them, because I want to remain at least minimally realistic.

You now have the 8-9 slot on CBSNBCABCFOXUPNWBLABLABLA.

What does tv 2008 need?

1. We need to have SUX and YUM networks.
SUX can play the shows that suck --> O'Reilly, Geraldo, Jerry Springer.

YUM should play Heroes, Lost, Doctor Who, Ugly Betty and other shows that don't suck. :)

2. "Rippin' Off The Hits!"
Inspired by Regis and Kelly Twit this morning: They had Stairway To Heaven covered by Dolly Parton. Of course, it was laughably bad. And the audience ate it up. So how about a show where people who have no business doing covers of classics, do those covers? Maybe Dolly Parton could also do Inna-God-A-Da-Vida. Maybe Hannah Montana could do Warpigs. Or Avril Lavigne doing anything Zappa.

5. Deep Space Borat
A spin-off series based on Deep Space Nine, but with Borat as the Station commander.

Maybe with a little bit of CSI thrown in.

Oh, and have a Galactic Idol show on the station with Paula, Simon, and Randy as the judges.

On the first episode, Ryan Seacrest gets assassinated. Horatio Cane investigates and finds out the culprit was Borat, who is a Deep cover federal snitch agent under the protection of the FIBI (The Federal Intergalactic Investigation Bureau). So they let him escape to the planet Brazillion.


























(tongue firmly in cheek)

9. NBC's "Cavalcade of American Idol Try-Out and Contestant Executions!"
The greatest new show in which, every week, we execute as many vapid, talentless, ugly non-artists from American Idol, Survivor, Dance shows, filth that shows up on Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer, and so on, as we can do in an hour. Each week, we'll try to outdo the heinousness of the week before, and try to top the number executed in our ever-increasingly elaborate and painful methods of death as we rid the world of the worst of human douchebaggery on worldwide live TV!

In Season 2, we'll branch out into emos, and go international by rounding up tens of thousands of chavs in a stunningly moving "Happy Christmas you Fucking Shitbags!" two-hour holiday special.

11. Let's Hunt And Kill Dr. Phil
Pretty simple idea - each week we let the hounds of hell loose and we chase that jarheaded, hypocritical, fake psychiatrist douchebag all over the globe until his fat ass runs out of air and I catch him, drag him to his knees and put a shot gun in his mouth.

And then we'll be back in 2009 with Let's Hunt And Kill Ryan Seacrest.
