TV Show Concepts You Wish Existed
« on: February 24, 2020, 02:11:03 PM »
We've been binging "Life Below Zero" recently.  Had no idea the show existed and in the last 2 months have gone through 10 seasons.

Part-way through season 10, I said "wouldn't it be awesome if there was a mock reality TV show of vampires roughing it and surviving on the frontier, hunting and foraging?"  You'd have that National Geographic narrator guy with his dramatic monotone voice-over, the cringey manufactured drama and the music that amps up right before the big climactic event, and then the vampire patting the human he just sucked dry, saying campy shyt like "thank you for the life you're giving me" and so on.

I'd watch the hell out of that, laughing all the way.

Ever come up with TV shows you wished existed?  What would they be like?

Hog Hunting with werewolves?  I guess if it wasn't a werewolf named Earl it wouldn't be the same.


I am not sure the vampire thing would work, but if it involved really hot vampire women, it might work.   :rofl:      But I'm just a guy so....

A reality show with Bigfeet (Bigfoots?) following the Bigfoot hunters around the woods laughing at them and playing practical jokes.

I wouldn't say these were ideas I wished existed, but just crazy stuff that came to mind at least as good as Survival Island - Vampire Edition. 

If I think about it, I am sure something with Zombies will come to mind.

I never made it through a couple episodes of Life Below Zero. Some of the people kind of got on my nerves.

My recent thought for something I would totally watch would be a cross over with The Incredible Dr. Pol and Dr. Matt of Demolition Ranch/Vet Ranch.

I can't say this for certain, but when I was skimming through the shows to watch on Netflix, I think there is a show that a vampire teams up with a woman.  I didn't pay much attention to what the plot was though.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

That looks challenging.  Takes two good drivers.

The dirt track a couple towns to the west of me has a chain race every summer, I haven't been able to fit it in my schedule. One of the features is three cars chained together.

Seven people marooned on a deserted island who are constantly trying to escape and almost succeed except for the ongoing incompetence of one of them.

Find out how long it takes for the other six to decide to just kill him so he no longer frustrates their plans.
