Here Are 15 of My Ideas for New Cable Channels. Care to Add to the List?

March 26, 2013 By Jeff 44 Comments

gilbert-gottfriedBarely Missed Putts:  footage of golf balls barely missing the hole, 24 hours a day.

Drunk People Talking About Politics, Love, and the Reasons Why Everything Is Fucked and Will Always Be Fucked

The Choking Channel: ‘round the clock video of people choking on food.

Famous People Underwater

Local Weather Forecasts of the Late 1980s

Assembly Lines of the Orient

African-American Sailing

The Front Door:  non-stop footage of fat guys with oversized sideburns and fedoras, sometimes capes, entering and leaving video game stores.

The Too Soon Channel:  a broadcast home for people who like to make jokes about tragedies shortly after they occur.

Retail Pep Talks: Eavesdrop as retail managers fire up their crews.

Collation!

Cubicle Workers Airing Their Grievances

Racist Diatribes with the Greatest Generation

Newscasters Rolling Their Rs

Pixilated Nudity and Ragtime:  Heavily pixilated nude scenes from movies, accompanied by ragtime music.

Admittedly, a few of those might work better as a half-hour weekly program, but I’m pushing for the full network treatment.  Hell, why not?

In the comments section, please add to the list.  We can do much better than a measly 15 new television channels.  Right?!

And I’ll see you guys again tomorrow.

Have a great day!

    Password – A man of considerable strength picks a random word like “Salt” and shares it with the TV audience. He then walks up to people in public and demands the password from them. Those that guess incorrectly are swiftly punched in the breadbasket (stomach). Anyone that correctly guesses the password is given $20 and sent on their way.

      Firesign did something like that about 1000 years ago. A game show called “Beat the Reaper!” The premise is that you are infected with a deadly disease. If you can correctly identify your symptoms before succumbing, you’re given the antidote and YOU WIN!!1!!!

    The ACK
    Short for the Acronym Channel
    Dedicated to shows with acronym titles like MASH, NCIS, CSI, etc.
    Their slogan could be we’re too lazy to say it, so we shortened it.

    WEIRDOS SPOTTED AT WALMART. That would garner a richer audience than OWN.

    Based on the frequency of NCIS reruns, I wonder if there should be an “NCIS RERUNS” channel.
