My idea for a reality TV show
Now, I know we're all sick of reality shows, but what if we had a fresh new take on a tired genre? Would you watch it?
I have an idea that is so outrageous, dangerous, stupid, and lawsuit inducing it might just be what is required to give me a number 1 show. Bare in mind, there is nothing educational or intellectual about my idea. Just mindless hilarious entertainment.
Ok, so you've all seen big brother. Now, what if we expanded on the big brother idea and introduce foreign elements. What are these foreign elements you say?
Picture this. You're sleeping at night, and suddenly you smell something "funny." You wake up only to find a few dozen or so skunks wandering around the house. Now, the objective will be to capture these skunks and rid the house of them. Watch as good looking men and women risk their sanity trying to round up these critters of doom.
or...they wake up with the house floor flooded with water, and they have to race against the clock to find the source to stop the water from further flooding everything.
or...release dozens of bats into the house and watch them deal with it.
Essentially, it's just prank after prank after prank. It'll potentially draw fire from Peta and other organizations and groups...well, not potentially, most certainly.
Of course, an idea like this will never fly, but this is just a bet I have going with a friend. If an idea as outrageous as this were to surface on TV, would you watch it?
If you have you own ideas, let's hear em.

Set the house on fire and see how many make it out...
Rob the morgue and position a few stiffs in the living room for all to behold in the morning...
Spike all the food with laxative and disable the plumbing....

Why dont we just skip the endless, repetitive preamble and go straight to live televised fights to the death?

I'm waiting for the reality show where contestants form teams and compete to produce the best reality show.

this has been my line of thinking right from the start of the reality tv thing.
what good is survivor is EVERYBODY on the show is surviving. i want to see some harsher circumstances and want to see some people die, dammit. no more teams or 'immunity' or 'reward challenges'. from the elements or the other competitors it doesn't matter - we paid for blood! last person living wins.

The OP sounds a bit like Scare Tactics, which is apparently coming back (this time with Tracy Morgan as host): http://www.scifi.com/scaretactics/

TheyCallMeBruce ... isn't your suggestion basically Punk'd but without crossing over into litigious territory?
The reality show I'd like to see is about guys in a bar trying to pick up women. I think that could be hilarious ... and educational too.

I always thought that is what they should do with criminals who commit murder, why not have them on an island with all these different set-ups and have them hunt eachother and kill eachother? The winner get's to avoid a death sentence and you would throw in some other privledges but who would not pay to watch that? Screw UFC, I would buy that every time! The betting would be unreal too! Kind of like running man but every inmate for himself and different settings. You could even do themes like Lifers:Wild West or Lifers: The Projects. I don't know but I want to see it and imagine the pleasure some would get of watching some loser who offed a person close to them get axed or shot on tv! Of course the humanitarians will never allow it.

Mine would be to take every person who has even been associated with any reality TV show ever and in a one episode series that last 5 minutes round them all up in a big space ship and send them away to never have them be herd from again
And than ban reality TV in all its shapes and forms from TV

They have one, Inside the VIP. Easily one of the single most asinine shows polluting our airwaves today.

I've never heard of it ... I guess that shows how in-tune I am with TV programming. My TV viewing is pretty much limited to hockey, a few off beat shows like Survivor Guy and the occasional sitcom.

I've seen Inside the VIP (or Keys to the VIP...something like that). Essentially theres a panel of guys who watch other guys pick up chicks. And they give commentary. And time trials.
I die a little inside when I come across it.

I think Locke means "Keys to the VIP" on the comedy network (I had to google the other one to see if there was another similar program by a different name)
"Inside the VIP" appears to be something very very different and very very NSFW.
I will agree though, that Keys to teh VIP is a vile program, and whenever it comes on Im ususally scrambling for the remote
Reality TV in general is assanine, and is IMO a leading factor in the dumbing down of america
