It is so sad that none of you except Flemish people will ever see "In de Gloria" as it must be pretty much the best comedy ever (well it isn't really comedy like monty python comedy though)


It's a bunch of sketches that show normal people (and usually pathetic sad regular people) but everytime from a different concept idea...

The thing is basically that it always comes to this: plain regular people are sad pathetic creatures... Sometimes you're downright laughing like hell, but most of the time the story was so embarrassing that you just can't say a thing...



damnit it's just too hard to describe

How about a reality show where they get a group of ppl and put them on a replica of a 15th century boat, like Christopher Columbus sailed in. Then we make them sail from Spain to the US...or around the world... that would be kewl.
That's been done already, even a couple of times I think.

@Trajanus, great show, but don't bother explaining it

As for my own idea Survivor:Hobos. Rules are

-No food or supplies given during the 30 days
-Location is not prepared like the current sissy version. therefore likelihood of people dying will increase greatly
-Contestants eithe make less than 20k or dont make any earnings at all
-If they have criminal records its a plus to the application.
-Murder theft and abandonment in order to survive is allowed (hey as long as they are not in US right? )
I think I know the perfect backdrop for this one...

I'd like to see more hidden camera investigative shows. There was an investigative report that I saw on Dateline where they hooked up hidden cameras to a car that was stolen. The cameras showed what happens at a chop shop. It was cool getting an inside look at the criminal underworld.

What is a chop shop? Oh wait, let me guess: they slaughter the car and rebuild it or sell the parts, right? Or is it a chainsaw massacre in the back seat?

I know this idea is too zany to be used but...

How about having a real army really invade a country. Make it a complete mismatch so the results won't be in question. Put camera crews with all the troops and call the colour commentators "reporters".

Of course, the "Military HQ" will have to edit the footage so the good guys aren't seen in a bad light.

Run it 24/7 for a few weeks. Make sure coverage is stopped as soon as the capitol is secure so no-one sees the mess !

Do it again with another country next season.
