You are ignoring the fact that there is a basic feeling of getting something for free (even if that is illogical) when you only pay once for admittance. And anyway... scoreboard!Matt Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806710554659602502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233830264797174117.post-18304275950851398572007-05-23T08:48:00.000-05:002007-05-23T08:48:00.000-05:00My team's amusement park kiosk idea was about a bi...My team's amusement park kiosk idea was about a billion times better.AdamBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625655604759074752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233830264797174117.post-3149024740351987512007-05-22T13:47:00.000-05:002007-05-22T13:47:00.000-05:00"stewardesses" is fun too..."stewardesses" is fun too...Brian Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888166410214352879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233830264797174117.post-17369704068150941452007-05-22T13:45:00.000-05:002007-05-22T13:45:00.000-05:00Whoever made and distributed the after school spec...Whoever made and distributed the after school specials back in the 70's and 80's tried this sort of thing with monthly serials. You would fill out a poll that came in your Wheaties or whatever and mail it in. It failed. <BR/><BR/>Technology being what it is today may have an effect on participation but I don't think Keiffer Sutherland wants this idea to come to pass. It would be a season finally every week. How could you prevent leaks? <BR/><BR/>Besides, there's not much on the tele that I want to see, or people I know really, that isn't covered by the History channel, Discovery, or, Versus.<BR/><BR/>Your idea might have enough appeal to bring itself to fruition but then so did scratch and sniff television in 1983!<BR/><BR/>The amusement park kiosk is a good idea.

So next week they book Dr. Plum and put him in jail, but the stranglings continue until the viewers collectively figure out their mistake?<BR/><BR/>So the viewers dictate the beliefs and actions of a certain set of characters, but not necessarily the "objective truth" of the fictive world? Is that right?<BR/><BR/>Sounds good, but I get the feeling it might be tough to film new episodes fast enough to get new shows out regularly. But if reality TV can do it, why can't fake TV?<BR/><BR/>The really interesting application of this concept would be to have a West Wing-type show with a presidential election, and to see if more people end up voting for the outcome of that than they do for real elections.AdamBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625655604759074752noreply@blogger.com
