What reality show would you create and how would it help other people?

I would love to see/create a reality show that acts like a watchdog for congress and the senate. It would tell you exactly what has been voted on, who voted which way and which lobbyists they were seen with. If I could manage it, I’d report on who has taken money from whom.
What are the odds?

Do you think anyone would watch a show about teenagers vacuuming the dog hair offa my rug?

God’s Law. Get a bunch of fundamentalist Christians and force them to obey all of the laws in the Bible, including the ones in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. If you break a law you’re off the show. Or else possibly stoned to death by other contestants who would be trying to follow the laws as well.

It would help fundamentalist Christians get over their religion.

I’d watch God’s Law!

@Qingu I’m loving and lurving that idea!

@Qingu
I’d watch that show religiously.
Oh, God, please forgive me for the pun.

@Qingu Hollywood needs you! NOW!

I’d get a group of people to come to a city they’ve never been to and try to survive as homeless people for 3 months. No one contestant would know who any other one was. Each contestant would have to start out with $20 and some second-hand clothes, no ID, and a map. Real homeless people can apply for a place on the show as well as non-homeless people.

i would have donald trump tied up in a pedophiles basement, then everyone would get a chance to beat him..just not kill him

Culture Shock.
Have Americans live in a foreign city for a few weeks with almost no resources.
Most of us really need to be more world-conscious because America is generally so secluded and protected.

Media Swap – Liberals have to watch conservative (read Fox) shows and read conservative blogs for a week, and conservatives have to watch and read liberal news. Then they get together and discuss issues from the other side’s perspective and see if they can come up with “bipartisan” solutions.

There are plenty of amazing documentaries that could have been reality TV shows. And, come to think of it, all the good reality TV shows would probably have been better as documentaries—well I guess that’s what they are just in weekly snippets.

I’d like to see a show following schoolteachers from different countries. Each season could be a different age group of students. I think that would be interesting. What teacher and class of young children don’t have stories to tell? People don’t pay nearly enough attention to education. Which is pathetic, because it is obviously the most important part of society. . . It will never happen, or if it does it will be over dramatized and miss the point.

My reality show would require that an indoor stadium be built, along the same dimensions as most NBA venues. The entire playing area, again let’s go with NBA dimensions, will be enclosed with ultra clear, triple thick, bullet proof glass. As spectators watch from the stands and folks at home tune in to HD closed circuit tv, a group of 100 chimps, that have been dosed with pharmaceutical grade LSD, will be released into the play area. The play area will contain a vast array of loaded firearms, grenades, ninja swords, live electrical wires, and other implements of violence.

An ever changing group of celebrity guests will run live commentary and gambling is not only allowed, it is encouraged. Did I mention that every week a couple of death row inmates will join the fray and battle for their freedom?

How will this help other people? Why, by it’s sheer fucking awesomeness.

@Everyone Aw, you guys are thinking of some great shows. GA’s to you all. Thanks everyone.

In England there’s a show called The Secret Millionaire.They have a look around a community in need of help & decide who is deserving of financial assistance.These range from youth hostels,care homes for the elderly & drug clinics for addicts trying to kick their habit.I personally think this works well as it helps those most in need & promotes good comunity spirit vital in failing disadvantaged areas.So yeah nothing original i’m afraid but that’s my pick.

@Blondesjon sick puppy show! Sort of like “Jacob’s Ladder” with chimps.

There was a nice little-known movie about chimps taking over a Florida space research lab with help of employee after one of their central figures gets brain nuked. Their escape explains wild monkeys in certain part5s of Florida. It was fun. wish I remembered movie title—I’d watch it again.

I would like to see a show that covers the daily lives of people who aren’t famous and who don’t do things that make them gobs of money. The life of a wood worker or a nurse or an administrative assistant or whatever. Something that really is about real life, not some kind of pseudo jacked up real life.

In my “homeless show” the winner would receive a mortgage-free property—if that person happened to already have a home c’est la vie. So sell it or give it to a homeless buddy.

C-SPAN is one of the best reality shows. People learn how to debate.
