He’s talking about a non-reality show that runs for a year. Though a reality show is much easier to do. No need for a script, just put them in situations and see how they react.
TV is boring, how about you pay attention to your own life for a year and see how entertaining that is instead.
I’ve found a way to develop plot
most epidodes of most tv shows take place over the course of an entire week, so give it new interconnecting plots each week
Then what’s the point of having an episode each day when the plot moves weekly?
looks at Zhare’s posts. Looks back at the Quina link. Looks back at Zhare’s posts.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Oh, and Zhare? Just to be a bit anvilicious about this, in case you haven’t picked up on it? The answer to “whats anyone think of this idea for a tv show?” is “It REALLY sucks.”
I dunno, pornography is pretty entertaining.
Good thinking with the weekly thing, Zhare, now it is still absolutely impossible to write.
I think the weekly plots idea takes it even closer to soap operas.
Seriously, though, it will be 18,250 pages. Zhare, do you realize what a cataclysmic amount of text that is?
Eighteen-thousand-two-hundred-and-fifty pages.
I’m sure if you’re determined enough you could intigrate that element of entertainment into your life as well!
My god, I spent all evening reading that monster thread of Quina’s. O_o Damn, guys. Just… damn. While I did bend over laughing at some parts… damn, guys.
I like the bit about 3D glasses being virtual reality.
to expand the story, a new story starts each week and there are seven episodes to that story and that will lead up to the next story, and fill in the overall story
ZHARE: Answer my query. How will you get nearly twenty-thousand pages of text written?
All evening? I had to spread it out over two days. Some parts were just mind numbingly repetitive, but I still laughed every time Quina came up with some new convoluted scheme. I imagine he was tokin’ up before he had these ‘revelations’
984, that bit was the most hilarious part. The part about the tv show with the creators of FF7 was a close second.
But won’t the show move really slow that way? I imagine the gimmick wouldn’t last that long. Plus, like Vorpy said, it is starting to sound like a soap opera.
Edit: Your idea somehow reminds me of this show called Cursed. It ran briefly before being cancelled within a year. Anyway, the premise was, this guy dates this girl, breaks up with her and she places a curse on him. He is now cursed with bad luck. Within 3 episodes the guy loses his job, and is about to be evicted from his apartment. Personally, I was wondering how long it would take before he died. The point is, they had to change the name of the show shortly after that to The Norm Show, or something, because the gimmick looked good on paper but ended up being a recipe for a depressing series.
a team of around 30-50 writers:hint: :hahaha;
Did you (lady & gentleman) read the whole Quina’s thread? The addiction is overpowering you 
Okay, I’ll summarize for you:
-
Your task is impossible because:
A. The amount of writing that is required would be phenomenal.
B. The amount of money that you’d need to pay writers, actors, et cetera, to give up their whole LIVES for this project would be phenomenal.
C. There isn’t a television network that would support you in taking up a valuable time slot every day for a show you have absolutely no premise for except for the gimmick. -
This idea is insipid because:
A. The amount of writers involved, the number of episodes, and the shallowness of your idea would make this the most cliché ridden disaster of a soap opera drama that ever existed.
B. As has been mentioned, but should be emphasized: you barely have an idea. What you have is called a gimmick, which is all fine and dandy, but it’s an impossible gimmick to pull off.
C. Even your gimmick is just a ripoff of stuff that has been done before only expanded to an extremely ridiculous amount of time that nobody in their right mind would watch. -
You, zhare, would never be able to pull off a television program because:
A. You are unable to make reasonable compromises.
B. You can’t even string a sentence together: how are you supposed to write a good proposal of your half-baked ideas to a network?
You are going to ignore me much as Quina did and continue on your delusional path to obscurity, but I just like saying, “I told you so.”
To summarize this summary, allow me to present everyone’s favorite semi-homicidal alien newscaster, Morbo:
TELEVISION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Thank you, Morbo.
It’s like a trainwreck. I couldn’t look away. @_@
