You Have Been Just Hired To Be TV Network Programmer

[timb2]

You have total control of this network and you can make it whatever you want. What would be your plan because TV today is pretty boring with how many versions of " Law & Order" or" NCIS " can there be? Hollywood is out of ideas for creativity or trying to push their social causes.

For Me

My channel would be called RETRO WITH A TWIST.

Yes we are looking into the past where so many good shows have stood the test of time vs the same crap they spew today.

I would bring back the original Star Trek,most of Irwin Allen's shows like "Land of the Giants" and "The Time Tunnel".

I would probably call it "FLASHBACK FRIDAY"

Saturday morning goes to the classic cartoons, kids dominate Saturday mornings. Bugs Bunny,Superfriends,Fat Albert,etc.

Creative teams to make TV shows that work instead of the same dribble.

One Night Fright Movies or KUNG ** THEATRE or mybe even version o CLUB MTV AND SHOW MUSIC VIDEOS


UR TURN????

I don't care to start a new channel...however for those that do, please do a few things for me.


Mostly Retro stuff with a few new series of older shows or movies.

Bring back Junkyard Wars...I preferred the english version but the american version will work. Or start new ones.

Start a Swamp Thing series with good fx for the suit and the monsters. Have a darker tone to it. (similar to how they made the New Battlestar galactica more series).

Do a NEW Buck Rogers show - and again more serious tone.

Show the original Iron Chef series (Japanese version not the American one).

Pick one night of the week and make it Retro Game show night with two episodes each of Match Game, Newlywed game and name another fun one like Hollywood Squares.

I would make it a 24/7 news network that could be trusted for real unbiased news.

I am in Canada, I would love to take control of one of our national sports network. We get poor college football coverage, I would change that...Last 2 weeks I had to stream the Michigan game...

Maybe have a show of Import Tuner who have some of hottest car show models and follow them around the world....Some former Import tuner models Tila Tequila(Queen of mySpace fame) Francine Dee(Playboy),Natasha Yi(rush hour 2) Felicia Tang(Rush hour 2),Aiko Tanaka& Carla Maria(Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift), and many more.

Dallas Cowboys Network! If the Longhorns can have their own, the Cowboys need one.

We can have a game day menu show. Zoners in aprons.

I’m going further than that. I want only a few channels of programming period. No more scrolling for 20 minutes only to wind up back where you started...”Blah...nothings on.” And YOU get to personalize it to your tastes. Like Pandora Radio for TV.

Rule # 1 - Never fire Roseanne Barr.

I would adore an All Cowboys Channel which plays every game they've ever played in sequence. For ratings week, we can do play off games, Super Bowls and greatest plays set to music (no country or jazz). No comments about black and white or VCR tapes. It would not have the Jerry Jones show EVER! Just the games with original commentary. Early morning blocks could be good cartoons. No Bullwinkle crap. An hour news block to go in depth on those stories without the silly feel good story at the end. No pharmaceutical commercials allowed. At midnight show video of the sun going down over the Florida Keys where Jimmy Johnson lives to him yelling "How about them Cowboys!".

Only older farts like myself will remember this but I would bring back the Movie Of The Week concept back to major network broadcast television. I used to love the ones ABC, NBC and CBS would air. They served as great time slot fillers too and would prevent the occasional re-airing of a television show (but not necessarily the same episode though) within a seven-day span.

The networks would occasionally re-air movies produced for theaters but I was referring more of the original made-for-television movies they sometimes produced and aired.

lol. I had to google that one but 'think' that was a television mini-series. Mine are more along the line of Brian's Song, Satan's Triangle, The Young Runaways, etc.
