Do CBS’ Three Newest Reality Shows Sound Better Than AMERICA’S NEXT TOP PIRATE, ARE YOU STRONGER THAN A DOG & MILF ISLAND??
I am – Hercules!!
Like all the strike-hobbled channels, CBS is ordering more reality series. Here are the latest getting the green light:
* “Secret Talents Of The Stars.” One assumes this is essentially “Dancing With The Stars” without the dancing. No word on whether those “stars” will or won’t include Bob Guinee, Eve Plumb, Tito Ortiz or Mark Cuban.
* “Game Show In My Head.” A hidden camera show about people wearing hidden earpieces who get instructions to do embarrassing things in public. This sounds a lot like a long-running Letterman bit.
* “America’s Top Dog.” Dogs compete with each other by learning tricks. Again, sounds a lot like a long-running Letterman bit.
Will Maggie Rodriguez soon be hosting hour-long editions of "Will It Float?" in primetime?
Variety has all the details here.
No wagering.
Fox and MGM have knocked 48-50% off a number of their series titles, including:
$15.49 The Die Hard Trilogy
$30.99 Rocky: The Complete Saga
$34.99 The Addams Family: The Complete Series
$69.99 Angel: The Complete Series
$74.99 Family Guy: Party Pack
$119.99 Land of the Giants: The Complete Series
$145.99 The James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set
$164.99 Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series
Sony has organized a 2Fer sale. Buy two or more and you could get:
* MTV’s complete 2003 “Spider-Man” series for $9.50,

Not that I watch this shite anyway.
-
God, society has gone so far down hill I feel like shooting myself in the fucking head.
-
Like... three months ago. But this news is un-fucking-believable.
-
That show gives me serious wood.
-
Against all odds, VH1's show about celebrities in rehab sounds better than these three turds.
-
Celebrities (I use this word loosely) falling of the horse in front of the cameras. See Corey Haim have a violent drug-fueled tantrum when his landlord evicts him from his shitty basement apartment. The CELEBRITY RELAPSE crew is there to capture it all for our "entertainment."
-
still want to see that bachelorette lesbian edition.
-
I give it a few hours.
-
...this talkback could stretch on for days.
-
Take "America's Got Talent" and replace all the acts with dogs. How could this not become a national event?
-
Writers stopping their work for tv is like taking away a child's dinner when he wants (and gets) his dessert. "He'll appreciate his vegetables any moment now." If that's too vague, substitute "dinner" with "quality television" and "dessert" with "reality programming."
-
Oh, that's just FOX news.
-
Feel free to use these networks...
Would you fuck my sister? - Guys try to convince a panel of D list celebrities that their sister is fuckable, for each celebrity that agrees they get 5 grand.
Is she legal? - Contestants get to meet hot young chicks in bikinis and have to decide if they are of legal age for sex.
Strip Club Bouncers - An indepth look at the grueling work of men who throw out drunk men who touch strippers tits when they shouldn't. For educational purposes the tits will not be blurred out.
Celebrity Pitbull Fighting
I want to kill everyone in my office - A fly-on-the-wall documentary about a guy who plans to kill everyone in his office. Viewers can call in to nominate which of the co-workers should go on his hit list
Shower with a starlet - Fun quiz show with no cash prizes, but the winner gets to shower with a young Hollywood starlet, who for her part will get a role in a Wesley Snipes direct to DVD movie.
Annoying talent show panel judge death squad - Collecting together all of the various judges on reality talent shows. Each of them has to explain why they deserve to live. The one with the lowest total viewer votes faces a firing squad.
-
It's simple, cheap, and requires no brains at all. It's called "Hey America Can You Take a Punch!" Contestants take blows to the face for 100 dollars a punch until they blackout or cry uncle. Tell me you would not watch that!
-
put me on the list of tbers that demand MILF Island. Has to be made.
-
...it's over-rated. (but just glad you think it's hot!)
-
The greatest game show ever conceived!
-
I wonder if Winona Ryder will be on the program to perform her special ping-pong ball trick?
-
Two eps of Chuck a week from Thursday???
-
Dude, I'd be at the tryout for that. Sounds like an easy $1,500 or so for me. Well, as long as the punches aren't coming from 1987 Mike Tyson. Wouldn't really want to get hit by Hong Man Choi, either. Not after seeing what Fedor's face looked like after their fight...
-
Itd make me horny for a show or 2... but that list still makes me wanna blow my fucking brains out... well that and BG is on its last run this year...
-
season 1 starts on CBS in feb 08.
-
How will this even be possible?
-
Idiocracy has begun!
-
First round contestants take a shit in a toilet and if it floats they go through to the next round
Second round the contestants take a shit in a Jacuzzi if it floats they go through to the next round
Third round the contestants take a shit in a swimming pool and if it floats they go through to the next round
The final the finalists take a shit in the sea and if it floats they win $1 Million dollars -
... a guy once gulped a pint of milk, held it in his mouth, laid down on the floor.... and let his dog drink the milk out of his mouth! No way we'll see a pet trick that stupid on CBS!
-
tell me this movie will finally come true!!!!!!!!
-
I can't believe that there are people who get paid to think up crap like this. Why don't the networks license some shows from other English speaking countries? I know those of us in the USA aren't supposed to like them funny talking foreigners but come on, showing Little Mosque on the Prairie or Primeval would have to have better ratings than this crap.
-
That was seriously some fucking hilarity. Nice list... way too funny.
-
RAPED BY A DOG
Too harsh? -
Damn You Reality TV
-
sounds pretty cool. Nowhere near as cool as the writers getting a fair deal but still can you imagine? Johnny Depp wannabes and all those guys that take "talk like a pirate day" waaay too seriously in pillaging and deck swabbing competitions all to get a contract as the next Long John Silver's spokesperson! I love it! In fact, forget I said anything. I'm calling Mark Burnett right now!
-
and i second Celebrity Relapse.
-
I suggested CELEBRITY RELAPSE. I forgot.
-
I wonder if anybody realizes this is a great chance for America to turn off their TVs and actually do something insane like READ A BOOK.
...who am I kidding! BRING ON MILF ISLAND!!!!! -
Now the true terror of the writer's strike descends.
-
People can watch re-runs of old PBS shows. I'm sure 90% of America has never seen any of that programing. What's old is new again!
-
Who Wants To Beat Up A Fifth Grader
Survivor: Afghanistan
America's Next "One Cup" Couple
-
I'd like to buy a hard return character, Pat
-
That's the real reality show and we're all on it. And if you watch any of these or Dancing with the Stars or any of the other Solid Gold embarrassments then the answer is NO you are not.
-
Good series get cancelled and b*llshit just keeps on going.
-
This was already on Fox. It was a contest where you had to try to be the fastest one fired from a real job. Contestants wore microphones and while often improvised their own stunts, were frequently guided by producers on what they should do while on camera.
Lasted about 5 weeks. -
At my previous job, we had a game we called, "Are you smarter than our Pakistani Intern" - the game was only one question long: "Why haven't we sent a space shuttle to the sun?"
So far, everyone who has played the game won - CUZ ITS HOT! The youngest winner was the marketing VP's 4 year old son who knew the correct answer. Our Pakistani IT / Help Desk intern? No idea. When asked, He said "I thought we already DID send a shuttle to the sun." He seriously was so stupid, he didn't understand the whole hot, gassy, ON FIRE aspect of sun travel. -
Celebrity Pedicures
Pimp My Wife
Survivor: Afghanistan
America's Biggest Ham Sandwich -
please
-
I can understand that it's not for everyone. So if you don't like seeing hot dancers showing more skin than Maxim, you're free to watching something else.
-
It's not easy growing up an Ahmedinejad. Bonus DVD features never-before-seen beheading outakes and Mrs. Ahmedinejad's instructional "how to make a burka" video.
-
"So if you don't like seeing hot dancers showing more skin than Maxim."
Thats just sad...
-
as long as we're getting our reality show references from 30 Rock.
-
won't touch that idea with a ten-foot plank (at least, not again).This article makes me sad to think the writers strike is playing right into the studios' hands and allowing them to flood the airwaves with cheap, noxious, yet somehow vastly popular crap.What next? Can we expect the return of Monica Lewinski and her Bachelor of the Opera show? Hell, Fox doesn't even need to make new shows - they can just put on the unaired episodes of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss (so we can see the reveal that the Secret Boss is actually a monkey) and the Littlest Groom (or was that NBC?).
-
Isn't an island at all. It's a peninsula!
-
Or smarter.. just make midgets fight on camera.
-
He's also looking forward to the Sex and the City movie.
His dads are quite proud. -
...putting some of those BUM FIGHT dvds on TV! Now I'd watch that!
BTW: Can someone tell me how to do a hard return on this site. I hate posting like a retard. -
C'mon, FOX, make it happen!
-
That's hilarious.
-
Viacom has 3 seasons of Veronica Mars nobody watched when it aired on UPN. Why don't they just run it? Similarly, why doesn't NBC show reruns of Monk or Burn Notice on the Peacock? It might grow the audience of those shows when new eps return on cable.
-
Just go at night.
-
Man up. They don't bite.
-
mike judge got it right.
you can mock the programming all you want, people are going to eat this shit up and the writers are fucked.
god damn it. -
Someone told me E had a new show called "Who Wants to Make a Sex Tape". The winner (I use the term loosely, although not nearly as loose as the contestants themselves) gets their own reality series. I told him the show already exists, past winners are Paris Hilton & Kim Kardashian.I think a show we would all watch is "Who Wants to Fight a Hack". Like the Uwe Boll boxing match but each week a new TB whipping boy (or girl) gets a shot at revenge by fighting their most vocal on-line critics.
-
...when you give a wrong answer?
-
I'm afraid that's too advanced for Stupormunch. Poor kid gets a rash when a vagina is within striking distance.
-
I wish they'd just fast track another season of Amazing Race.
-
"Now for my ping pong ball trick!"
-
Hang on... What? I thought it was when... Oh, never mind.
-
If a celeb's career has swirled down the drain enough to appear on reality television, we'd be doing society a favor.
This means you Stephen Baldwin... -
C'mon, FOX, make it happen!
-
C'mon this needs to be made!! This actors heart is three times its normal size..is it A) Chris Penn ...B) Chris Farley..or C) John Candy..?
-
Bust most people watching unscripted TV are fairly stupid, so I think everything will work out fine.
-
How dare you delete my internet bitchery to the world?!?!
Seriously, though people watching this dreck are part of the de-evolution of the human race; so eat it up, bottom feeders! -
Am I the only one who fears that the producers will never negotiate with the WGA, and that the Guild remain in a perpetual state of strike?
-
I just wanted to say 'Netlets', 'cause Herc does, and he is cool...
Mud Wrestling : Frat Boys vs Alligators - Drunken frat boys will be told they get to wrestle hot chicks in mud, then they are smeared with goat's blood and thrown into a mud pool filled with hungry Alligators - or Crocodiles if they prove a bigger hit with the key demographic...
America's Next Big Reality Show - People with ideas for reality shows pitch them to a panel of industry insiders and the finalists make pilots that are voted on by the public. The winner gets a guaranteed half-a-season with Fox...
Celebrity Job Swap - Fabulous celebrities swap their 'jobs' with other fabulous celebrities so we the poor unwashed can see how much more difficult it is for a third-rate actress to pretend to be a second-rate weather girl than it is for us with our minimum wage jobs. Pity the celebrities. Also be in awe as Nancy Grace swaps with a porn star...
Drug Runners Amazing Race - Take the amazing race concept but add in a couple of kilos of pure heroin. Contestants not only have to race each others, they have to avoid various drug enforcement agencies and pray that condom doesn't rip on the 18 hour plane journey. Losing contestants may be executed, depending upon the laws of the country they are in at the time. -
RIP Bill Hicks
-
AMERICA'S NEXT TOP PIRATE and MILF ISLAND are Tina Fey creations but we all know she's on strike!--Dangit!--We must wait for genius.
-
To be honest, Dexter isn't THAT graphic of a TV show. I watched it again and it's amazing how much is off screen. The flashbacks to his childhood trauma would be tricky to handle but bringing it to network TV isn't that dauntless.
-
"Wow! I didn't know that Erik Estrada could yodel like that!"
-
And my vote would be Celebrity Bang Bus.
-
Or whatever the hell it was called. The show where the hidden cameras watched people on their first day try to get fired.
-
See if they can get to single digit weight.. why not? They look fat.
-
a rip off of: Millionaire or a Guy Named Kenny?
Now Chemotherapy or a Bald Guy?
-
That is truly the scariest thought in years, that shit is happening. It's what plants crave!!!!
-
I would love to see folks strapped to a lie detector and asked racialy charged questions. Let Dave Chappelle host and get people like Spike Lee,Micheal Richards,Don Imus, Al Sharpton, it would be awesome to hear the truth.
-
You guys kill me!
Now I hope this works or I'll look like even a bigger retard. -
Thanks for the info! Now all I have to worry about is my spelling and grammar LOL
-
a gameshow where contestants guess the identity of a celeb by photos of their foreskins.
-
Coming to Fox!
-
Torture porn is all over TV (24, CSI, SVU) so a few body parts and random spurts of blood in Dexter are not a big deal. The problem for transition to network is swear words. Repeat to yourself: Dead hookers OK, F-word no way. I hope this will be solved by removing all verbal lines from the foul-mouthed annoying sister. Or just CGI a piece of duct tape over her mouth.
-
Good show.
-
Your spoiled little tykes that refuse to eat their veggies spend a week in the desert with Bear Grylls and learn how to eat dead zebra.
-
Due to the heavy volume of calls, auditions are now closed

HUNTING UWE BOLL! (Shown in first or third person mode!)

-
Can these two bitchy enemies set aside their differences long enough to survive bloodthirsty Iranian citizens bent on spilling their blueblood blood?
-
After a (very) brief Google search I found, to my horror, that MILF ISLAND have already been made. (sigh)
-
That top dog show and gameshow in my head are rip-offs!
And they better watch that gameshow one as Letterman had to stop doing it as Rupert Gee nearly got stabbed once. -
Cause broadcast is dead.

Reads the names of hip hop stars to Tracy Morgan..."...Redonkey Kong? Homonculus?..."
