I ran across video game versions of movies and t.v. shows today. I always knew that those games sucked, because as a kid I never had any fun playing "dances with wolves" the video game. The level where you make John Dunbar do a rain dance with a buffalo skin in his head was just not that entertaining.
But they did have a Ducktales video game. with good O'le scrooge McDuck, and his sidekick pilot whose mental capacity seemed to be hindered yet he was adorable enough to continue over to the series Darkwing Duck. Why not a renewal of the Launchpad enthusiasm and get him his own show.

I dreamed up a situation of a children's show trying to explain death but not lying or giving and religious pretenses about it. My roomate suggested it be done about the family fish, and how he gets flushed down the toilet, the camera would switch from footage of the fish traveling to the water treatment center and getting decomposed in raw sewage to the child cringing and then eventually crying to the mother factually trying to console her child by explaining that it happens to every living thing, and that nobody in the world is special enough to escape death. pure sesame street material.

Reality TV seems to be a contradiction. Nothing on TV is reality, except the short invention of puppy tv, which was just 24 hour video footage of puppy's playing.

If they wanted reality TV they would have to make shows that didn't give people anything to be in them except the chance to be on TV, no reason to get up in the morning except their previous daily lives of going to work and having kids. It would be more documentary TV rather then reality TV. Like the movie Hoop Dreams except in 30 min episode forms.
