Like I said, there's a lot of good television in America (I don't know the state of quality TV in the rest of the world), but every now and again I'll think of a show that I'd like to see but doesn't exist yet. we're going to catalouge a few of them here.
the categories are: Sitcom, Game Show, and Show That Couldn't Happen Without A Time Machine, Magic Spells, Or An Act Of God
Sitcom:
Hot Shots
I swear I'm going to cut back on the Family Guy references, but in one episode Peter mentions his idea for a sitcom: a retired baseball umpire who runs a bar...at the center of the Earth. I love it. The catch is at no point is it ever explained why he chose the center of the earth for his bar, or how it is even possible, or why the lava-people accept him so readily. It would be just like Cheers but with mole-people and lava-people and Frank, our lovable ex-umpire pouring shots of molten rock for everyone.
Game Show:
mmmm...this is hard, because all my ideas have actually been turned into a game show either here or in Japan or something. I had an idea for a show where parents send their young children through a haunted house, and if the children can make it all the way through the family wins fabulous prizes. Then I hear it's already an existing game show. Then there was my idea for a game show where people compete to see who can cry the most. Already in production!
I think I'd like to see a show where people huff VCR duster and then try to complete an obstacle course, so I'm going to keep an eye out for it since it's most likely already being made.
I've decided to combine two categories.
Game show that couldn't exist without a time machine, magic spells, or an act of god:
Time Lord Bare-Knuckle Boxing or Can You Beat Up Doctor Who?
There are two ways to do this show: either have contestants place bets on which Doctor Who actor would come out on top in either a battle royale or tournament style bare-knuckle boxing. All actors would be competing at the age they played the Doctor.
The second way is to have the contestants themselves battle the actors one by one, one bout a day, to win fabulous and rare Doctor Who merchandise. You get to pick the order in which you box the actors.
I'd go toughest to weakest (in my opinion): Starting with Tom Baker (sure he can't throw for shit but he's got good range and crazy eyes), and ending with David Tennant. |
