Apr. 28, 2008: Hi Ho the Dairy O, a new reality low
|
So have you seen the previews for this new reality show, "The Farmer Wants a Wife"? No doubt it inspired you to make a few mocking comments, as it did for me.
Mike and I were flipping through the channels last night (we don't have very many, so it didn't take long), when we caught a promo for a new TV show. It's kind of like the Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie show "The Simple Life" meets "The Bachelor." Basically, a bunch of hot women try to woo a backwoods hillbilly farmer. It premieres Wednesday night on the CW.
"Ooh, I can't wait to watch the spin-off, 'Dog Takes the Cat.'" I said, cleverly.
Which prompted Mike to say, "I want to watch 'The Cheese Stands Alone.'"
(I know, you should hang out with us. We're hilarious, just ask us.)
So I was thinking that children's songs and nursery rhymes are an untapped treasure chest of reality show possibilities.
Here are a few.
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater: This show is a take-off on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." An underprivileged family gets to live inside a giant pumpkin, tastefully redecorated by Oprah pal, Nate Berkus.
Little Bo Peep vs. Little Boy Blue: Another Smackdown! Throwdown! type of show, with presidential candidates as occasional special guests (when they're feeling really desperate).
Little Miss Muffet: Each week, an attractive young lady demonstrates CENSORED and will air only on Cinemax .
