Yes I have a natural talent for crass. I'd be a TV executive if hadn't promised the temple master that I would use my powers only for good.

I would guess in the nano-seconds.
Bizzarely what we call reality TV is just as staged as any drama.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Well, now, that gives me an idea.
Off the top of my floral bonnet, so to speak:
Fall Season, teams are tasked with coming up with
ideas for a TV series, then writing scripts and
sketching sets and costumes. The winner is cast
(possibly from yet another show!!!) and moves on
to:
Spring Season, where new teams are tasked to
behave like ingenious passive-agressive network
execs trying to scuttle the show.
If the winning show is any good, it will never
be seen again. Bad? Five seasons (at least)
and eventual syndication. The winning creators
will be contractually hobbled for years by the
RL show's production company. If a team of
scuttlers wins, they are hired by networks.
But what shall we call this, Dave?

9/20 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN MAL!!!
