Arcade Reality show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MaximRecoil:
"Reality shows" suck, but I think a show that followed the same format as the British show "Wheeler Dealers" would be cool.
Instead of cars, they could find and restore or refurbish arcade machines. They could even use the same guys; Edd China is awesome, and much of the stuff that goes into arcade machine restorations and refurbishments are things he's already good at.
bkenobi:
Reality shows aren't new (think PBS documentaries), but modern shows like Survivor and Big Brother (or whatever) are complete crap! Those shows completely devalue shows that show real people doing their thing. For example:
In case the link doesn't last, it's called "Alone in the Wild" depicting Dick Proenneke's experience in Alaska.

I have that on DVD. It is amazing. I've seen it probably a dozen times. Highly recommended. The whole documentary is just shy of an hour.

This doesn't sound like a reality show, this sounds like a game show.
But then, most prime time 'reality shows' are just that, they are game shows. An 'arcade reality show' would be like a documentary series that follows a group trying to keep an arcade alive and thriving in our modern era of Rock Band dinner parties and Xbox Live.

Alas. To breed....or not to breed?
Sort of an aside to this last: you know, when I was a kid and cable TV was fresh to me an my brother, I'd about KILL him for channel surfing. I find it a bit ironic that the very few and far between times I've been in front of a set in the last.....erm, sixteen years....there's been so little on, and so many stupid channels...I've done exactly that. Freakin channel surf!
