a TV network calls. You're given your own show...
...your call.
Budgets no option. "Reality", DYI, whatever.. Your choice of subject, location, cast, etc... What do? (I know, I know.. slow day at work, I'm bored...) .

Firefly season 2. I could be a new bad guy or something.
Otherwise I would find a way to do something like Top Shot, but with everyday people.

The most boring reality show ever. Like the Truman Show, but more boring, and more real. Ok maybe slightly related to driving.
See him drive to work/sit in traffic. See him drive his kids around to their various activities. See him drive to the grocery store/run various errands. |

Having spent a good part of my youth helping my family with horses (Mongo the Stable Boy), when I was a senior in high school I was a "swing groom" for a horse trainer who was a friend of my parents. I knew horses. I worked three to fours days a week from 0500 to 0730.
This was in Aiken, SC, which still is a winter training site for Thoroughbreds. Most of the "Breezers" (a term used when the horse is asked to run a full speed during training) or riders/jockeys were women: Some were stupidly hot and fit. So hot woman and all the intrigue: Check The cast of characters in the "Shed Row" is amazing: Rich owners, trainers, grooms, hot walkers, the lot. Even the track kitchen had a flavor and realness (everybody ate there) that is hard to beat. I found it a real hoot. I still eat there if I am in Aiken during the winter. Lastly, the horses: I track one from the first show, through training (at the gate, on the track, the down days) through to the first real race and beyond. To recap: Hot women, horses, the entire breadth of rich and poor plus action (there is a lot of mayhem during training). I'd call it "Shed Row" All yours, Vinnie ![]() BTW, I'm home with a cold, so I have time.

I would do the opposite of Dirty Jobs. I don't want to get all dirty work hard.
The camera can follow me as I help with really cool jobs like a trip to the space station or tour area 51. Maybe a test driver for the new super cars.

Mine would be based on old boat restoration, wood boats, classics. Location would be somewhere in the Florida Keys or the South Pacific.
I'd buy basket case boats and restore and sell them. Kate Campbell and Pinky from Holmes on homes and Nicole Curtis would be my, main "woodworkers". ![]() I'd call it "Whatever Floats Your Boat"! .

Per company policy, I am not allowed to accept, or hear ideas for scripts or shows. I'm told to politely tell the person I'm not allowed to accept, read or listen to their idea.
So I was never here, OK?

Celebrity Execution!
Every week, a new celebrity is killed in a gruesome, yet interesting and hilarious fashion. Think Saw meets the Kardashians. You know Budweiser would sponsor that..

+1 on Firefly season 2. As long as it isn't FOX asking. They screwed the pooch the first time around; no reason to think they wouldn't do it again.

"Chasing Classic Cars" with unlimited budget and I'm first to all the cool stuff. Spend half my time at Monterey selling cars at auction to wealthy Boomers and the rest of my time traveling the world finding more cars.
