I have had the opportunity these last few weeks to spend time with my first obsession - TV. Of course, I wasn't totally disconnected from the TV world - there was Hulu and Netflix but I would just watch sitcoms or dramas that I liked. And if it wasnt available for streaming, I'd simply do something else. I had quite forgotten what it was like to have time on my hands with a remote control in one and nothing particuary interesting to watch. Channel Surfing! Its an official activity. By the time one is skimming through ~100 channels there's something new on Chanel 1 and so it goes.
What I've found is the plethora of reality tv shows. They're everywhere and I think on pretty much everything under the sun from America's Next Top Model to Swamp People.
But the most common ones seem to be the home decoration shows.
Now what I think would really like to see :-
A]
1) Family A submits a request to get their room/house to be done up by Show X.
2) Show X hosts comes and criticizes various aspects of the room.
3) Show X goes to work to renovating it.
4) Praise is showered and the the family oohs and aahs and maybe cries.
5) Famiy A now submits request for their already removated room/house to be done up by Show Y
6) Show Y hosts turn up and start criticizing (?) while Show X hosts watch using a cam.
B] All these awesome home decoration shows tend to inspire well intentioned people to redesign their own rooms. Good intentions do not always translate good results. Who would like to watch "Home projects gone Bad"? Me! Me!
