No more TV dinners

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't watch a lot of tv shows or movies. Now when I say "not a lot", I mean that I watch tv about as often as the Olsen twins enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet. That being said, it never used to be that way. I actually enjoyed watching television as a youngster. I had can't miss shows long before the days of Tivo, and rarely did I miss those appointments. What happened to those days? Where did my lust for the "boob-tube" go? I don't know if there is one single event, but more of a "gumbo" of electronic feces that just ruined my appetite for the new fall line-up. I've recognized the problem, now what?
The solution is simple... change everything. It shouldn't take more than an afternoon worth of work to get that done. I need to get a couple of phone numbers and pitch my line up for the next generation of can't miss shows. First up, An asian mortician who is also a private investigator- call it "Dead Wong". I know, it's genius, but just wait. Next up, a movie event for the whole family. A giant sinkhole in Nebraska is about to take the entire state into the bowels of the Earth- Title: Cornhole. Just calm yourselves, remember I do have to make a few calls to get these glorious balls rolling.
All I'm trying to say is that we need more creativity, a little more risk with a little more patience to see how things develop. I mean who is going to give Michael J. Fox his own cooking show, let alone have the guts to call it Shake n' Bake. That is my kind of "must see tv".

Done,
Kirby
