Better TV for you and me

Over on Shooting the Messenger Fits noted that the TV Show Dancing With the Stars could be made more interesting by placing small anti-personnel land mines beneath the stage. This is a good idea and it made me think of other ways we could make our entertainment programs better:

Give football players (American and European) swords and shields.

America's Top NUDE Model.

Make Survivor literal.

Mount weapons on the cars in a NASCAR race.

Have a Democratic presidential debate where Hillary Clinton gets asked more than one real question.

After the last game of the World Series execute all the fans who showed up to cheer the losing team and divide up all their belongings among the fans of the winning team.

Make all news anchors, both male and female, do the entire broadcast wearing only pasties and a g-string.

In all the Law and Order and CSI shows give the actors playing cops and criminals real guns with live ammunition.

This list is not all inclusive so if you have any other ideas fee free to toss them out.
