Will Wright To Make Fan-Participation TV Show

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-keep-them-away-from-cameras-for-god's-sake dept.

SmarterThanMe writes "Will Wright, creator of several famous computer games beginning with 'Sim,' is involved in the production of a new TV show called 'Bar Karma.' Viewers will be heavily involved in putting forward their own storyboards that the show will then play out. Viewers also vote on the storyboards that they most like for the next episode. In effect, the viewing public collaborates with each other to create the show."

    a storyboard consisting of an elaborate episode-long orgy?

    Why do you say that like that is a bad thing?

    If they really let it play out democratically (and I doubt they will after they see the initial results), I picture the television equivalent of a Mad Lib with the word "Ass" in every blank.
