TV Talent/Freak shows. What would your format be if you conceptualised one?

[hobbit.]

Mine would be called "The Amy Winebar Happy hour" it would be based around people who believe that they can sing (I have no idea why I chose that),.

In the early rounds the singers would have to drink a given number of cocktails and whiskey chasers before singing. Phone votes would count.

As rounds progress alcohol would take a lesser part, with hallucinogenic drugs taking over, administered by a medical professional, before going live to air. postal votes would take precedence over phone votes.

The later rounds would involve 'Sudden Death' play offs, contestants would stand back to back whilst singing a duet AND carrying a loaded flintlock pistol, after ten (10) paces they would turn and fire, the survivor going through to next round. Should both miss, they would both be subject to trial by ordeal, carrying a red hot iron bar ten paces - whoever covers the greater distance goes through.

in the final, when postal votes do not count, a tie would involve fighting a duel with rapiers while sining, anyone alive after the music ends will be judged to possibly have won.

What would you have in your series?

I always wanted to have a show called "Fucking with Ghosts" that the network would probably amend to "Messing with Ghosts" the way "Mindfuck" became "Mindfreak", but some punk ass douchebag beat me to it and does a considerably worse job then I had planned.

I can see Channel 5 running with this, you know.

Keep your eyes open for our new show on TLC or some equivilent called "Farming with the Tards." Starting me, my wife, and sons as the farmers and her parents constantly in the way. For every job that needs done, the idiot-in-law will stop by, park right in the way, blabber on for what seems like hours about how it should be done, the scientific ramifications, how he did it when HE farmed the place..... Careful editing will show the shithole this place was when we took over to truly educate viewers just how he really did things. There will be lots of bleeping out by the censors. Just when all seems to settle into place for a quiet evening of me sitting in my chair with a glass of whiskey and my laptop booted up to Lit, the mindless mother-in-law will call on the phone to ask why I am so angry all the time.

Dam, this is just about twisted enough for the real primetime tv shows.

I could be the next Endemol !!

I have a variation on the sudden death rounds, the sound proof booth would be air tight and for every question the contestant gets wrong (caused by a play off in the performance art section) a given amount of air, i.e. Oxygen would be extracted.
