All of this carrying on is fine, but if Spike really wants shows men like to
watch, they’ve missed a few great concepts. Here are ten new programs that
appeal to real men:
- The Explosion Show – Every week, the hosts fill some interesting object with
black powder and then, well, you get the idea…- Crank Callers – Contestants harass strangers and win prizes
- Celebrity Mud Wrestling – The name says it all
- Target Practice – Like those hunting shows on the Outdoor channel, except
that the big game they’re after is the neighbor’s lawn ornaments- Psycho Friends Network – Wisecracking comedians staff fortune-telling phone
service- Pick-Up Truckers – This is our reality show: Blue collar guys are taken to a
real bar and compete to see who can be the first to convince a female patron to
come home with them- Mug Shot Makeover – Fashion experts visit the drunk tank with timely
grooming advice- Riding Lawnmower Demolition Derby – OK, it’s sort of a sport, but it’s not
on ESPN- Cheer Factor – Adult cheerleader routines are rated by regular guys with
number cards- Simian Nightly News – The events of the day are reviewed by chimpanzees
dressed in designer suitsAre you listening, Spike?
