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."

    This isn't a new idea - Let the Blood Run Free did this back in the 90s. You could phone in at the end of the show and choose which direction the storyline would take. Dorothy Conniving-Bitch was my favourite character mwahahahaha! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_The_Blood_Run_Free

    Funny? It would probably quickly deteriorate into something like this:

    Idiot #1: "can i haz cheezburger!!11"
    Idiot #2: "lol hungry cat iz hungry"
    Idiot #3: "fail!!!1"
    Idiots #1, #2 and #3 "lololol"
