    Sounds too useful to exist.

    GNU TV, where the scripts are open-sourced before the show airs and you know all the jokes before the intro starts rolling.

    How is different from network tv, where the scripts are rehashes of something from 10 or 20 years ago and you know the entire plot (painful jokes included) in the first two minutes.
