Go home, television, you're drunk.

Nah... jumping the shark would be to have Honey Boo and Family comment on TV shows they watch...

I always think of the film Idiocracy when things like this pop up. What a shame the film went to **** in the second half, it could have been this century's 1984.

The term "jumping the shark" has jumped the shark.

I liked the idea behind that film. Every step taken, decision made, change made.... that you may see in tv programming, music, youtube, internet, advertising.... leds us straight there. It really is SCARY!!!

Meh. There's already a number of shows like this but it's YouTube videos and memes instead of TV shows.

They're airing it on Sundays at 11:30 PM. No one will watch it.

There will be dozens of web shows where people comment on the show that comments on other shows...an infinite loop of stupid.

ABC has picked up my idea of reviewing the Cafe ala DVX. It will run live right after the new reboot of My Mother the Car. I read forum posts live for 22 minutes each night. Eight minutes of commercials: Monster and DC Shoes are interested.

Are you sure the posts on this forum are long enough to warrant a 22-minute show?

i do a 5 minute intro, where I re-read posts from yesterday (riveting). I have a celebrity guest that discusses their favorite posts from the last few days. The we open the phones for the call-in section where anyone can talk about any post from the past or ask the guest a question. The show quickly drifts from posts to the guests activities. We finally get back to the show, which leaves only 2 minutes for posts and a 30 second recap.

There was UK show that replays soccer games and instead of having the regular announcers they have 1 fan of each team commentate on the game. It actually is pretty funny and was interesting for a while.
