a competition show, basic idea is to recognize different unknown sounds like typing on a keyboard…etc. difficult and mixed sounds could be used in advanced level.

Hi,
Just thinking today of an idea for a show. Take it where you want. Picture New Zealand, a guy laid off work, barely making ends meet. Flimsy character, girlfriend dumps him and takes his prize possession with her – his 64 inch T.V. set. He goes into a hissy fit but can’t do anything about it. Not being able to live without his T.V. he picks a small one up at a pawn shop that the owner does not care for, takes it home, plugs it in and turns it on. It’s the news and they are discussing the tragic death of a race car driver in the states. He thinks nothing of it and after a few beers falls asleep on the couch. Next day goes job hunting and while waiting to place his resume at one of the many bar/diners he catches the news. Breaking news. “This just in. Famous race car driver dies seconds before winning the race.” He gets a feeling of deja vu. Thinks nothing of it. In the following days he begins to realize that whatever he watches the news on his T.V. set seems to repeat itself the next day on somebody else’s set. All of it pertains to the U.S. (Since New Zealand is almost a day ahead of New York it feels as if they are always in the future). He thinks he is going crazy until he watches the same scenario of 9/11 but this time in Chicago. He races to his neighbor and switches the set on but there is no news of an attack. He runs back home and starts placing calls to the U.S. to get someone to listen to him. You can fill in the rest.

take an ordinary working class person and train them to be a professional without going to college, and send them to a new job and see if they can make it. Doctor up the resume …get the idea????

we need a show about studs. Studs are female lesbians that dress like men. Have a setting for about 6 studs (me), 6 men and have them to do manly type of activities and see who will win being the TOP STUD. Have a list of contests lined up from landscaping, mechanical fixing…etc and the winner will get whatever the producers come up with. Have some contests where we let a group of pretty women decide which group wins..example:barbecue,landscaping,basketball game, or any unisex activity on the agenda.All contestants have to live in the same house and get to know and understand each others lifestyle; with occassional surprises such as visiting strip clubs,having a fund raiser or whatever, pool tournament and be creative about what activities are chosen with the producers coming up with fun and exciting activities.

i think that maybe have someone with a long time rival, new boyfriend versus ex-boyfriend, or any known rivalries amongst celebrities, family, competitors,etc to train for a week or two, have an organized boxing match/(some type of contest). Have each person workout with a professional trainer of whatever sport is decided, to sign a contract before each fight saying that the beef will be over after fight is over, and of course to sign a contract saying the producers etc…are not liable for any damage to participates, and maybe even have loser donate money to the winners favorite charity.

i think someone should create a show where an undercover person is set up in an unusual or awkward situation,like maybe fix up a resume and send them to apply for a job or maybe even just have them stranded on a busy downtown area and see if and who will help, hire, date or whatever the decoy or person. The person may be put there by a celebrity or someone to see just what kind of person they really are!…and maybe call it “DECOY!” or “GOTCHA”.

Oh yeah, one more thing. It’s not about the making money, it’s about living life passionately, knowing what is really important, following your dream and never, ever giving up no matter what life throws at you.

Rags to riches story. We need something uplifting to lift our spirits these days!
Milltown brat grows up to be an award winning artist despite loads of obstacles. There’s enough stuff in this guy’s life to write a book or make a full length movie. People actually ask him when they see him to tell them another story. He’s full of them.
As a child he had no boundary’s which allowed him to get into all sorts of trouble, not just at home but with the law and he was only 8. He traveled through the sewers lighting off firecrackers and locked the younger neighborhood kid in a barrel with just enough red oil paint to cover him from head to toe after rolling him down a steep incline. After a troubling youth, battling alcohol, drug addiction, depression and the local police, he met his soul mate who he decided he wanted to change his life for. After struggling for years to beat his addictions he was finally “sober”. He had been to the place he can only describe as hell and came out a better person on the other side. He married his soul mate. They had 2 children and life was good.
As a young adult he realized he knew he had something that a lot of people don’t have, a passion for living. He was lost for a time but through all his struggles he was one of the lucky ones who “got it”. He knew that life was about living and living passionately and he was passionate about art. He won his first art award in the 2nd grade, ironically enough it was a poster for the local police department for a “Don’t do Drugs” campaign.
He started attending the local community college but in the little state of RI there wasn’t much to offer at the community college. He was growing more anxious about leaving his 3rd shift job working in a warehouse in a chemical plant. He wanted to live his dream of being an artist and wanted something better for his young family.
In hopes for a better life for his children than he had he moved his bride and 2 young children from the small, dirty milltown dubbed as “Hopeless” to the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida. There was a plan for his life. He was able to secure one of 40 spots open at the prestigious Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida where he obtained his BFA majoring in computer animation. He found out later that there were over 1000 applications. He felt very lucky indeed.
There’s years of triumphs and failures yet he learns from every one and has a story to tell that many can and do learn from. He was robbed, abused by bosses who took credit for his work and didn’t pay him and rejected by many for the same work he later won awards for and sold for over $100,000.
After struggling as a starving artist his day has come. Years have passed. He has a successful career selling his bronze sculptures for hundreds of thousands of dollars to famous rock stars and actors all over the world. He designs beautiful bronze fountains for the largest casinos in Las Vegas and some of the most exclusive resorts in the world. His dream has come true.

A lot of people are into Classic Muscle cars especialy the 50 Y.O.+ group who grew up in the muscle car era, so why not have a panel of these people answering questions about particular cars/parts/history, including which cars were used in cult car movies.This could be used in conjunction with classic car advertisements as this is a BIG industry. Maybe photos taken of body panels/shift levers/dashboards etc.. & they have to guess what car they are from. This is sure to attract a large audience of classic car enthusiasts, also give the classic car sales/restorers a chance to advertise. The panel, which would comprise of say of 25 people answer the questions & each week the person with the lowest score gets eliminated giving 25 shows. The winner receives a classic car at the end of the shows.

I would like to be involved in this if this idea takes off & could be turned into a TV show, I am sure this would get viewers tuned in & is a money spinner as there are a lot of companys out there dealing in classic cars. I British & I know in the U.K. there are a lot of American muscle car enthusiasts there hence it could also be aired in the U.K., Holland, Germany, Sweden, Belgium are also “into” the classic American muscle car scene.
