"Who Wants to Marry a Simulated Millionare?" 30 women vie for the affection of a digital man who may or may have a million dollars, or 5 neighbors walled up in the bathroom.
-"Nice jacket, who shot the couch?."
Wright has been toying with traditional linear entertainment during the past year
I think he should stop playing and move to spherical entertainment immediately !
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
(husband and wife, in living room)
Husband: Blah!
Wife: Blah??
Husband: Blah!!!!
Wife: BLAH???!?
Husband: (moves towards kitchen)
Wife: (Walks towards bathroom)
Husband: (throws trash on floor, plays with stove)
Husband: (sets self on fire)
Wife: (takes shower)
Enter Neighbor.
Neighbor: (to wife) Blah!
Wife: Blah!
Huband: (dead on floor, burned crispy)
Wife leaves, go gets a job.
This is my sig. Its pathetic.
Southpark would be better suited.
Oh my God! They kicked Kenny!
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
Lets hope it's something like Big Brother, except it's entirely up to the viewers to furnish, entertain, and otherwise screw with them.
I'm voting for no doors on the bathrooms, and too many pets.
*rimshot*
Alright it wasn't that easy to resist making a joke, but really, I'm sure he could drum up a decent show, anyone see any of the "MY Robot"? Its unclear whether they are just in development or are available somewhere. The only skepticism I have is that there is such severe CRAP on TV now anyway, why would FOX of all networks signup something truly against whats "hot" right now? (ie.

Sehr geehrter Toilettenbenutzer!
With endless reruns on Discovery.
In today's episode, the main character will sit on the toilet for 25 minutes, eventhough most males stand while peeing. He will also not lower his pants.
However, the character will be pixelized and require an unofficial set top box to see completely.
A surprisingly interesting story.
/.?
As opposed to the usual crap we see posted on
- Geek builds beowolf cluster out of basmati rice
- Matrix sequel to include wire-fu shark jumping
- Richard Stallman shaves self, Darl McBride
- Mutant Mosquitos
Who comes up with this stuff? Geez.
GF.
Lots of petrified grits
"The original show concept blended puppetry with animation and was set in feudal Japan but dealt with modern-day suburban situations."
Man, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in that pitch meeting.
Exec 1 - 'I dunno about this feudal Japan idea. and... puppets?'
Exec 2 - 'You know, our research shows, most Fox viewers live in suburbs - we need something more suburban'
Exec 1 - 'You're right. We need an angle.'
Exec 2 - 'Can we deal with modern suburban issues in a feudal Japanese setting?'
Producer (steam coming out of ears) - 'I guess so, if it means you'll commission the show'
Exec 1 - 'I feel a daytime Emmy coming on...'
Exec 2 - 'High Five!'
Sometimes, I wonder why the entire planet hasn't already been sucked into the bottomless void between TV executives' ears.
Ever wonder what's going on when you've turned your game off???
Now you can find out! These Sims get really wild with each other! You know that hot neighbour your one sim keeps trying to get with? Find out what happens when she hooks up with that other hot neighbour two houses down! It's incredible!!!
