How would you fill one evening of television [details inside]?

Asked by rebbel (35553points) August 28th, 2011

You have the chance to fill one evening on television.
It will be broadcast on one channel in all countries of the world.
What kind of programs would you like to put there, knowing that you will have an audience of hundreds of millions.
Are you going to amuse them, educate them, spiritualize them, convert them?
For the sake of the question, you get six hours of air time.
What does your listing read like?
I will add my list in due time, I want to put some more thought to it.

BBC Horizon x4.

Either that or “Why Don’t You?” – a British teen TV show of days gone by that enjoined its viewers to “switch off the television set and go out and do something less boring instead”. Sage words.

TV is shit.

Oh, and I’d add Toby Hemenway’s talk entitled Why Permaculture Can Save the Earth and Humanity, but not Civilization.

Something like Through the Wormhole which actually makes people use their mushy brains.

TV fuzz. Mwahahahahaha.

Or I’d do a mix of 30 Rock, Alias, Daria, and Arrested Development, for my own selfish viewing pleasure.

Good engaging family dramas and dramedies (drama and comedy) that serve a moral didactic purpose. That’s what the world needs today.

The Waltons

Little House On the Prairie
