Inspired by some utter abominations of shows in the past, come up with some new shows that will hopefully eclipse the current load of nonsense.

I'll start us off

Mystery Guest


A bunch of no-mark celebs are locked in a small room where they are introduced to a mystery guest. Every week, without fail, the mystery guest turns out to be a giant, man eating grizzly bear.

The winner is society.

Fire away...
 
Deal or No Deal- Bali Edition

Each week, a randomly selected Australian bogan passing through Denpasar airport is offered an exciting choice. 10 pieces of mystery luggage, each held by a smiling indonesian customs official.

Inside 9 cases are various sums of money, inside the 10th, a traffickable a quantity of methamphetamine.

The bogan contestant seeks to guess which case contains which amount of money, and after each guess, a case is opened and they get to pocket the cash in that case. If they guess an amount correctly, they get to walk through customs with all the money and the drugs, but if the case with the drugs come up, their only reward is a 4 page New Idea spread, a tearful plea for clemency, and a date with a firing squad at an exciting undisclosed location.

Family and friends will urge them on from the sidelines, and to add spice, after each case is opened, special host Mick Keelty will offer them a plea bargain if they are willing to quit and fess up, with time to be served in a Kuta jail.

Actually this was a Uni activity of ours one day and our little mini group came up with one of the best ideas- albeit partly based on a recent movie. This is my idea, if anyone steals it... I will sue.

The concept was called "Party Throwers" and it basically has the tagline:
"Ten people. Ten Parties. Ten thousand dollars." (You get $10K to throw the party)

It is a once a week show, aired on a Sunday night, which is quite little in the scheme of things, but it does run for a long time.

Background:
The idea is that you have ten contestants, all around the ages of 18-30. They are sealed off from the outside world for the ten weeks- one party is thrown per week. Each Sunday morning, nominations are takes from the 'house' as to which contestant has been the most annoying/dipshitty etc. and the person with the most nominations has to throw the next party. It is a disadvantage to go first, as the observers for that week are allowed to take note of things that go wrong throughout the planning process.

Planning:
Once the party thrower for the week has been selected, they are blindfolded and taken to a secret location in a blacked out Hyundai i-Load (sponsorship, ch-ching!). A big fuss is made over the location set for the party- completely at random. After a suspenseful exit from the van and the contestant is lead a few steps, still blindfolded, when they are asked, "where do you think you are?". They get to guess, then the blindfold is released and the contestant is shocked/happy/perplexed by the location chosen. Locations may be things such as a deserted beach, an abandoned warehouse, a house, a rooftop, aquarium, tennis courts, an airplane- completely random- some seemingly easy, some harder (of course, you do get judged accordingly, will be explained).

After the location has been revealed, the contestant is taken back to the house and preparations begin. They have from that Sunday night until the Saturday night at 6pm to be ready. With $10,000 at their disposal, this means organising:
- music (band/dj, speakers, types of music)
- how much food (courtesy of sponsorships, e.g. Smiths, Starburst, Coca Cola)
- alcohol (again, sponsored, but I'm a bit iffy on this as the show might need to be aired at Xpm and adult themes ensue at parties...)
- invitations
- the ability to rouse up guests on short notice.
- if location is remote or interstate (thanks to Virgin Australia), perhaps buses etc. (these are all anomalies of the location, there are perks and drawbacks. If a location is remote and the people don't want to drive there, no one rocks up...If a location is on a roof, organising catering and drinks may be hard)

Contestants can choose to take a theme for a party if they see fit with their location, or just your classic get drunk/hook up club style party. They may not use family/friends or other contestants to help plan the party, it is completely a solo effort. Over the course of the week, film crews follow the contestant into shops, into a diary room, into the phone room of the house and interview them about their plans and mishaps/difficulties of organisation. This will all be aired in the first half hour/hour of the weekly show.

The Party:
The second part of the show will show a sweep shot of guests arriving, accompanied by music and a flash in the bottom of the screen "Location:..... X.XXpm". From here, there are film crews picking up the best of the party- Project X style, including dancing, interviews with party goers, following couples that hook up, and general madness and shenanigans.

As part of every party thrown there is one "hurdle" which the organiser must overcome. This may include a power outage, the police called, blocked toilet drains, or sound system issues, which the organiser must rectify in the shortest amount of time. Again, completely random happening at any time of the night, and the contestant is judged on the ability to fix the issue and continue with the party.

Judging:
There are five separate judges for this part of the show. Each look after their own section and judge the party our of 100. The fields are:
-Catering and Drinks
-Use and imagination of party and location
-Quality of party and music
-Problem solving
-Planning

The contestant receives a score out of 500, reactions are gotten, blah blah blah. This happens at the beginning of each show (bar the pilot) as results are handed out on Sunday morning to the group. The process then repeats itself.

Top four scores go through to semi finals, where the judges have organised actual parties for actual people (engagement parties, weddings, 21st) and then are judged on the quality of party thrown and the winners go through to a final, where side by side locations are chosen, and the finalists have a "party-off" to decide the winner.

Winner gets a new Hyundai car, pick one, they're all pretty mediocre. They also get a travel voucher thanks to the airplane sponsor and $100,000 cash.
 
i've always wondered what happens in an office environment, surely some sort of documentary into the daily happenings in an office would be a ratings hit!

they could call it "shit my office says"
 
Considering America have shows for pretty much every single occupation now, i'd like to see a funeral home show. Preferably following the trend of having hilarious puns/wordplays in the title. Something like 'Dead Serious' or 'We Put The Fun in Funeral'. Would just be intrigued as to how the people in that job go about their lives.

Also on the other end of the spectrum, a porno Big Brother would be good. I'll set the scene. Completely internet based to avoid needing ratings, and running on a pay pass type thing. Pay a certain amount for complete access or pay per view for what you want. Obviously all the people in the house would be tested and STD free, preferably not professionals as well.

The idea is though, that there are no nominations, and the 3 people up for elimination each week are the 3 who get laid the least. On a points system, you get a point for every other person you root. So if you shag someone, you get a point. If you have a threesome, you get 2 points. Then as i said, 3 lowest point scorers are up for elimination. Obviously there'd be a lot of paper work to make sure everything's consentual and to what constitutes a root, but i'd work it out.

George: Hey, what about this? I'm in a car accident. The motorist is uninsured, you with me?
Jerry: Yeah.
George: My car's totaled. It's all his fault and now, he has absolutely no money. There is no way that he can pay me. So the judge decrees that he becomes my butler.
Jerry: Your butler?
George: Right. He cooks my food, he cleans my house, he does all my shopping for me. And there you go, that's your program.
Jerry: What about me?
George: Don't worry, we'll find something for you.

"You just F@(&ed your cousin " a show where you put distant relatives who have never met each other on blind dates and see what happens . All is revealed after a few dates . Would be a ratings winner I think but maybe a few lawsuits too .

Decent concept, but if it was on a good ol' Aus FTA network it would be just about the dullest show ever.

Would need to get it on Showtime or something so you could show everything (or near enough to).
