Reality The EZ Way


I was working on a cure for depression, but my agent convinced me that there’s no money in despair. He said the big dough is in reality show programming. Do you have any idea what Seacrest is pulling down these days producing reality TV not including tips? Dick Money was right. Why waste time on projects like world hunger and AIDS when all cataclysmic events are designed to thin out the herd anyway and if all diseases were eradicated what would we do with everybody? Natural disasters and disease have an ameliorating effect especially on parking and housing prices and anyway, it’s not my job to tamper with cosmic perfection. My agent knew of my predilection for eating and that I still owed him 500 Simoleons. If I didn’t show him a couple of sawbucks soon, I might end up in a dumpster somewhere. So I took his advice, did a little research to find out how this world of reality TV works then disappeared for a few months to woodshed some reality show concepts that I’m sure will garner the attention of any hungry, production company momzer worth his weight in bullshit.

1.    Going, Going Gone takes place in Florida retirement village where everyone rides mall scooters. The women play cards and kibitz while the men play grab ass with the nurses. Controversy ensues when the men receive collapsible grabbers for Father’s Day, which dramatically increases their ass grabbing range by 200%.

2.    Perverted Justice-Scumbag white-collar criminals are thrown into a maximum-security prison where murderers, rapists and shakedown psychos dispense their own brand of…PERVERTED JUSTICE!!! Bernie Madoff is technical consultant on this project.

3.    Bimbo Island- 20 bimbos all named Kayley or Caleigh or K-Lee try to get off an island using nothing but their tits.

4.    Cougar High- A high school in Anywhere, USA has budget problems and can’t afford a cheerleading squad for the football team. The mothers of the players volunteer. “Hey Mrs. Jenkins, aren’t you going to shave for the big game?” When Mrs. Jenkins does her first jump split sightings of Jerry Garcia are reported for no apparent reason. Special future cameo appearances will include: Abraham Lincoln, Sigmund Freud, The Smith Brothers, Adolph Hitler and Dan Hedaya.

5.    Touched By A Priest- Bad timing was this priest’s only crime. He really was doing good work.

6.    I Didn’t Know That Was My Baby- Hidden camera style show that records the reactions of idiot women after they are presented with babies they never knew they even gave birth to.

7.    Judge Girlfriend- no nonsense African-American, street chick dispenses practical justice like shoes up asses, slaps upside heads and ululating the ever humiliating “No you di…int!

8.    Do What You Gotta Do- A game show that follows average citizens on their daily rounds of jones crushing, marrow sapping errands, waiting for hours at the DMV, standing behind a woman with 100 items in an 8 items or less line, arguing with an HMO administrator about denied coverage for a pre existing disease and being able to murder them with impunity.

9.    Pimp My Life- a random couple gets a complete physical, sartorial, and home interior makeover. After all is revealed, a masked man enters with a Tec-9 and wastes everyone on the set.

10. The Real Sister Wives of Lancaster County – Behind the scenes look at plural marriage as sister wives reveal the ups and downs of loving a not particularly handsome, yellowing, fur matted, religious martinet. In the pilot episode Lucinda reveals her feelings about Cora Sue: “Bitch stole my look!”America’s Funniest Intervention videos- Uncontrollable sobbing by the real victims of an alcoholic’s destructive behavior…the owners of the liquor store!

11. America’s Funniest Intervention videos- Uncontrollable sobbing by the real victims of an alcoholic’s destructive behavior…the owners of the liquor store!

12. Ultimate Reality- Day 18,250- Follow the daily adventures of a man in a loveless marriage with 3 kids that can’t stand him who has worked at an unfulfilling, soul crushing job for the past 25 years. The twist? There are no cameras.

I can see the green light now…
