So, I'm trying to cash in on the current TV trend of list shows:
101 Hottest Hotties, 100 Most Metal Moments, I Love The x's (Where x is equal to 70, 80, or 90), Best Week Ever (notice how almost all of these are on VH1? What are they doing over there?)
I want to create a Best of the List Shows Show. We'll countdown the week's best List Shows, and riff on them. We can call in a crack team of B celebrities, washed-up actors (Yahoo Serious anyone?), and young comedians, lured by the scent at a chance for legitimacy (and free coffee), who will spend their time cracking wise about what sucked on each list show.
It's my hope that at some point, we'll refer to our own Best Of List Shows Show, creating a circular reference, which will then suck the entire lot of shows off TV forever into some TVLand blackhole.
But before that happens, I hope to make a ton of cash doing it. Now quick, someone get me a phone and a latte. I have work to do.

I happen to think that is a great idea!! However, these shows obviously stay on because some idiot actually watches them. A friend of mine sent me an e-mail with a link to "Outback Jack." Apparently, someone who lives in my town was one of the contestants. Why would you humiliate yourself just to get the attention of a guy? I'd rather be alone forever than compromise my values and self-respect. And the sad part is it's not just women who act this stupid. Men apply to those shows, too. I think that show and others like it should be included on your list of Shows That Suck.
