This has next to nothing to do with this thread.
Whenever you think that a sci-fi fan is being vindicative or violent, just remember, we have never wrecked a train, booed Canada, or ripped a man apart limb from limb.

Oh boy, the requirements for being a program designer down at FOX must be in the toilet. Joe Millionaire, whatta load of crap. Makes the concept behind that Who wants to Marry a Millionaire seem high concept.
Here, I'll do them a favor and pitch some programs which they can use in the future. Free of charge. Take 'em, sweethearts, they're yours.
New Puppy: Sixteen prospective families compete for the chance to add a new and adorable puppy to the family. We get to see the puupy interacting with the the families and everybody is happy until one of them is chosen to become the new family. Here's the fun part. The day the puppy goes home with it's new family, it's injected with PCP and rabies. Hillarity ensues and this later-day Cujo goes wild.
Bring Back the Dead: This will only last for one season until word gets out or only as a one-shot, but FOX likes that, so - A family is brought in to share their stories, pictures, remembrances of a dearly departed family member with the hope of contacting them via a medium. Instead, a surgically altered impersonator comes from backstage with the story that they have been sent back from the afterlife. We watch highlights of this "loved one" returning to normal life with a twist, they make their relatives lives hell. At the end of the week, the deception is revealed and the family wins cash and other prizes.
Jane Manly: Twenty bachelors vie for a date with a beautiful woman. The catch? She is really a he. Hah hah hah, just about as funny as Joe Millionaire.

SKULLNINJA,

I'm sorry, I don't have time to respond to this. I'm on the phone with the FOX executives. Seems I start work Monday as Chief of Reality Programming.
Watch for my soon-to-be hit program Who wants to Date a Llama.

I have a great idea for a show!
We'll take men who are on death row, and promise them that they can go free, if they can survive going through this deathmaze gauntlet. They have to survive only on their wits alone.
But the games rigged, you see. None of the guys are supposed to win, but it always gives them hope, so we'll never run out of "contestants"
I'm thinking of calling it "The Running Man".

What do you mean Stephen King thought of it first?

Tearing a man (or men) (specifically FUX exces) is beginning to sound real good right about now. Or, or, you remember what they did to Mal in War Stories?

That has possibilies for my new line of reality shows.
BTW, be sure to watch my newest creation - PCP Overdose Ambush Camera when we send out a hidden camera crew and an ex-SWAT sharpshooter with a tranq gun full of PCP to tag some lucky victim with a dart full of PCP and the chance to win some cash and great prizes. It's airing in Firefly's old spot.

If Joss Whedon was really smart what he'd do is replace Nathan Fillion with the dude from Joe Millionaire and the crew with the most attractive women from Joe Millionaire. Then replace all the bad guys with extremely hot chicks that the show can call "aliens". Finally he should re-write all the scripts with an emphasis on mud wrestling (a la that popular new beer commercial) and wet t-shirt contests. I bet Fox would immediately rescind their previous statement that they wouldn't be ordering any more episodes of Firefly. The Serenity would be up and running in no time.
