A Guide to Megalomania

If Snarkhunters ran a TV station ...

Over the years I have been forced to deal with a certain amount of tragedy. Meaningful and well-loved parts of my life have been ripped from me by soulless suits who lack both heart and intelligence.

At the risk of sounding like Bill Pullman in Independence Day I say "ENOUGH! We will not go quietly into the crap television! We will not watch your mindless crap without a fight! We will protest! We will letter-write! We will get back our cool television!"

Yes, I am calling for a movement to restore some semblance of meaning to my television programming!
Step 1: snarkhunters.com needs to purchase a television station.

Okay, so step 1 is a bit of a longshot, but who knows what can happen one day, am I right? Here's what I'm thinking. One day snarkhunters.com buys a television studio and network. Let's call it snarkTV. snarkTV is about giving life to shows that people love. It's about airing programs that are entertaining and worth screening.

Please note: There will be NO Neighbours or Home and Away on snarkTV.

Our first order of business will be to give Joss Whedon whatever timeslot he desires. Joss Whedon is a bit of a television writing hero of mine. He writes character-driven drama and scripts that are intelligent and witty rather than mindless dribble about being a socialite or a socialite's daughter or aspiring to be a socialite.

But if Joss Whedon WAS to write a show about being a socialite, I know it would be awesome. Joss once said "I'd rather make a show 100 people need to see, than a show 1000 people want to see." 

Yes, Joss Whedon would have a home on snarkTV. 

So would Donald Bellisario. This legendary producer of Quantum Leap, a show I am still annoyed about being axed 17 years later (and even more annoyed that Sam never made it home) has gone on to create and produce a myriad of other hit television shows such as JAG and NCIS but Quantum Leap will forever be close to my heart.

Pushing Daisies, Better of Ted, Firefly, Dark Angel, Quantum Leap would all get resurrected for snarkTV. We'd be such a cool TV network that other shows such as Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Apprentice would all automatically fall into our gravitational pull and be aired on our station. 

So in conclusion folks, I have four questions I'd love everyone to answer!

1) What television shows would you like to see resurrected on snarkTV

2) What television programs should snarkTV use their extraordinary influence to see crushed? (I am not averse to buying programs JUST to ensure they don't get aired.) :)

3) Do you have a fantastic concept for a television show that should be aired on snarkTV?

4) Do you have access to $3 million to get snarkTV off the ground?

So Snarkies, let's put the questions to you. Answer the questions by posting a comment here on snarkhunters.com and you can win a $200 Glamour Photoshoot and Photograph Package courtesy of Remember Forever Photography Studios and snarkhunters.com
