Let's help out FOX with ideas for new TV shows
You can be serious or sarcastic! For "sarcastic" read "An idea so distasteful that FOX will wantonly create and promote it!"

Here's an example of a serious idea:

Futurama

(Of course, Futurama won't ever come back because (a) the suits didn't care for it because it's sci-fi and (b) the comedy/humor is above that of mainstream shows, go figure...)

Here's an example of a sarcastic idea, duck for cover:

Make a show that caters to women for once. Have ugly men or men whose fun bits are too small sign up for plastic and/or enlargment surgery. In order to ensure that FOX is edgy and progressive, full frontal camera shots will be shown!

1. You may be on to something...
"Smaller than Average Joe"

I'm still shaking my head on this "Swan" bullshit.

2. I'd rather be off the mark, but FOX's mentality leaves little for doubt...
There's not much lower they can go.

Theyre using gays in their 'reality' show, but only in the form of mocking and stereotyping us. If they were to do anything truly controversial, they'd be shunned in an attosecond.

3. World's Ugliest File Formats
To be hosted by me. Ugly, unreadable, undocumented file formats. Programmers race against the clock to parse and load them into a database.

5. High School Reunion on Cannibal Island
Edited on Sun Mar-14-04 11:17 PM by BigMcLargehuge
take 20 enemies from the graduating class of 1999 and place them on an island with no food. Force them to perform hard labor and extremely repellent and oftentimes dangerous challenges. Then, at the end of each show the survivors vote one person into the pot.

Or

Necrophiliacs in the Love Morgue

Take five psychologically certified necropheliacs and place them in a cavernous morgue with the fresh bodies of attractive Jane Doe's. Number each body. Then let the audience gamble on which ones will be made love to first.

The winner gets life in a mental institution, the four losers also get life in a mental institution.

Or, we could just cut out the creative side -

Naked Supermodel Russian Roulette

Self explanatory.

7. Fear Factor: Fox News Edition
Next on Fox: A thrilling tale of telling told by your brave, burly overlords at FoxNews. Starring Geraldo Rivera as the guy you just can't stand. Bill O'Reilly as the cranky buffoon. Random blonde woman as All-American Eye Candy (TM). Hannity and Colmes as an ambiguous duo. And Larry Elder as the token black guy.

Will the power of contractual obligation force Hannity to give up Colmes when the tribe turns to cannibalism? Will Geraldo Rivera reveal the secret camp location in a fake newscast to monkeys? Will the monkeys then kill Bill O'Reilly for not shutting the hell up?

Only you can decide! Each week viewers can choose their favorite moran to suffer a fate of their choice.
