With the current writer's strike going on in Hollywood, we are all in
for some abysmal TV viewing in the near future. It has been discussed
here before (week 3?) that the current slate of mid week television is
akin to the food choices at Hometown Buffet. Not delicious. But rather
than further lament the past great shows we grew up watching, The Pix is
here to be part of the solution, not the problem. Without further ado,
here are a few humble ideas for the networks, courtesy of the Pix.

"Survivor: France". A Pix twist where it's not the contestants whose
goal it is to survive, rather the country. We take 6 dudes from Southie
and Six from Compton and put them up in Paris to see how long it takes
for the French to surrender. Unfortunately, the show would be cancelled
after the first week.

"The Clinic". A soap opera style show set in a V.D. clinic starring
Cher, Paris Hilton and Pam Anderson. Ron Mexico, a.k.a the dog
whisperer appears in a week 3 cameo where he swears he doesn't have the
herp and knows nothing about pit bulls either. Due to the dw's current
housing situation, the role of Michael will be played by Marcus. I'm
assuming he's available.

"Correct Me If I'm Wrong". A mad cap romantic comedy set in a maximum
security prison were we get an inside look (no pun intended) strip
searches, rat holing, creative carpentry, guard abuse and a sneak peak
of Barry Bonds' soon to be cell mate. A Dodger fan named El Guapo.

"Are You An Idiot?". Pix' spin on Fox' show about being smarter than a
5th grader. Let's face it, there are a lot of idiots out there and we
need to start making fun of them. Starring: people who write checks in
12 items or less lines, people who take more than 15 seconds to line up
a putt, Mayor Menino, Larry King, the 212 area code, people who use 15
foot leashes for a dog weighing more than them, people who own "Earnest
goes to....." dvd's, you get the picture.


"Wicked Sorry". A game show where the studio audience votes on which
celebrity apologies are more disengenuous, pathetic, lame, misleading,
backhanded, pr conscious and, well, I'm running out of synonyms.
Starring: Bill Clinton, Shawn Merriman, OJ, Dennis Koslowski, the ghost
of Kenneth Lay, Vick, Jesse Jackson, Marion Jones, Andy Reid's kids,
T.O., Boy George (recently arrested for kidnapping a male prostitute),
Jimmy Swaggert and Larry Craig.

And finally.......

"The Lombardi Code". Hosted be John Madden, Peter King and Dan Brown.
A documentary studying the overwhelming evidence that Breet is actually
the descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The Pix.......

2-1 yesterday taking Lions, Cowboys and Colts.

Jax -7 over Buffalo. Bill's heads still pounding from Patriot beat down
last Sunday.

Cleve -4 over Houston. Browns are officially frisky.

Giants -7 over Minny.

NO -3 over Carolina.

Oak +6 over KC.

St Louis +3.5 over Sea.

Tenn pick over Cinci. And Marvin Lewis still has a job
because............?

Wash +3 over TB.

Sf +11 over Arizona. The Cardinals are 11 point favorites? Yikes.

Denver +2 over Chicago.

Bal +10 over SD. Not sure whether Latorsha will make the trip or not.
Maybe Ladudian can trace back his problems this year to the fact that he
purchased a Visio.

Pats -22 over Phi. Unless coach Reid can get the Pats to go out
partying with his kids the night before the game, the Iggles are in
trouble.

Turd -16 over Mia. Whatever.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy your weekends.
