 Posted: 09/08/04 - 15:03 Post subject: If you were a TV Programming exec...
and it was assumed you had an IQ higher than a bowling pin, what sort of new shows would you develop ?
Would it be an ensemble comedy like "Barney Miller or Friends" ? If so, what would it be about ? "Nothing" does not count - been done before.
A reality show ? What's the premise ? Please no human sacrifices at the end ok ?
A spy/adventure show ? If so what "gimmick" would you have to make it new and exciting ?
Sci-Fi of some sort ? Star Treck the wreck ?
Cartoon Comedy ? Simpsons go Hawaiian ?
Go ahead and use your imagination. Its obvious the networks don't

Dammit, you keep knocking my ideas off the development board.
My second option would combine a medical specialist who goes out to the Old West to ply his trade. Ladies and gentlemen, it's "Frontier Proctologist"! A Quinn Martin Production.

Much better than war as a means for solving international disputes, don't you think?!
"Nyah, Nyah. . . my somewhat-elected President can beat your looney-tunes autocratic Despot!! Nyah, Nyah!!"
Which begs the question: Kerry vs. Bush. Who could take who?

I would love to produce for History Channel and start doing more shows on historical sites and things like that.
HC is what I watch most of the time anyway.
I have enough comedy, police and reality shows at work
I get all of my hospital stuff at home.
