Since most of us don;t like what's on tv.. Let's pitch our own show
"The NEW Survivor"
CBS parks outside any Starbucks in Manhattan and picks the "next 20 people" who exit:)Wackiness ensues when the motley crew is dumped in midtown Detroit. They are each given $20 and a bus pass, and are told to "make do" for 39 days.. Challenges include:

sleeping while guarding your belongings
dishwashing for food challenge
the shelter has only 1 spot for the night.. Immunity winner gets it...
.........

"Devastated Housewives"

Suburban families find out that Dad has lost his 6 figure job, but not to worry.. he has an interview at KMart Garden center.. Watch them as they "transition" to weekly yard sales, taking in ironing and mending, growing veggies in their bonsai/meditation garden

..........

"Extremist Makeovers"

Join in the fun when Ann Coulter/Bay Buchanan and Phyliss Schlafly get on the wrong cruise ship, and find themselves on a cruise for NOW and ACLU members.

1. I think I would be happy
if they just showed re-runs of Rifleman and All in the Family. Is there a re-run channel?

3. Laura bush* invites the cameras to follow her as she cleans out
the families closets. The show is called This Old Blouse. :-)

4. I think there should be a reality show called The Pitch
Where the contestants would pitch ideas for TV shows.

5. "Please, MTV! Pimp My CAT!!!"
Concept: Ordinary housecats gets extreme lifestyle makeovers, to include expensive and unnecessary accessories!


The Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger is getting tired of lying in the sun on a hard wooden bench! Please, MTV!!!! PIMP MY CAT!

7. I'd like to see Bill Hicks' idea get picked up
Though I'm not sure who we could replace Billy Ray Cyrus with.
