Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

CONVERSATIONS WITH CHICKENS
Question Of The Week 9/16/13
If you were able to have your own TV show, what would it be about?
I would be the dumbest TV host in the world. Last year I videoed myself trying to do a cooking lesson for which I did not have any of the right tools. Have you ever tried injecting brine into a raw turkey using a soda straw? Oh man, don't watch.
I mean interviewing real people who were allowed to state their true feelings on any issue. No filters- no holding back,, not scripted or "blanked Out".. it would be Real..
Chickens are very popular around here. I can see your show being a success. My sister-in-law takes her rooster to the state fair and wins prizes, but she has also tenderly catered to a deformed chick. I am sure she would be willing to do an episode!
I'll try this again. I think every small town has characters who just need someone to film them in their natural habitat. They have great stories and are as entertaining an most things on tv. As an example I offer this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzabmVIU6EQ
Mine would feature science and science fiction guests. The discussions between them would be interesting to me and all three people in the viewing audience.
I really like Sci-Fi/Fantasy so perhaps a "Dragon Drama" (using realistic computer animation).
Or maybe a journalism show running around the country interviewing current topics of interest. Or a scientific documentary series on disappearing species n habitats, adapting to modern habitats, n newly discovered species (animals, fish, plants).
Then there's then Feature film ideas I can't discuss here...
Tabor – I guess that makes it timely doesn't it? lol
Sonny – My husband would have made a fantastic guest for your talk show:)
Olga – Every night when I close the chicken house I listen to the chickens settle on the roost as they vie for their own place and chatter about their day. They always remind me of being at camp and the girls settling in our cabins at night.
Cliff – Oh how I wish I could share that video with Ron. He would double up with laughter. You need to get your reality show for sure including people like the man in the video. I hope all my blog friends will take a few minutes to watch that.
LL Cool Joe – You know Joey, I am surprised that isn't already being done. You should definitely suggest it somewhere.
Changes in the wind – Chickens are so much like people (or people are like chickens). Everyone could definitely relate.
Munir – What plant would be your favorite episode?
gigihawaii – Thanks:)
Talon – And you would be a wonderful writer, producer and director.
cube – Well, maybe you could make the scientists and non-scientists cry and then you would have a hit. lol
Brighid – My Americauna is Chicken Little. The red hen is June and all my guinea fowl are named TJ which stands for Tarzan Jane since I can never tell the sex of my guinea fowl.
Kay – Oh yes! Basically your China trip report was like a reality show and certainly more interesting than any I've ever seen. I could not wait for each new episode when you told about it.
Winifred – Knitting, crocheting, needle-point, tatting and other hand-work arts would make a great show.
Ileana – You would be a perfect host for such a show and would capture the hearts of the world.
Barb – Thanks!
Riot Kitty – A couple of good ideas but since you only know one swear word, and entire show of the “F” word might become tedious.
Lynn – Your show would be all about good things happening in the world leaving out any tragedy or sad reports.
Sparkling Red – You know you've got something there. Can you imagine any corporation letting a television show take place among actual offices in their company?
Snaggle Tooth – Yes you definitely could make the illustrations for a Dragon Drama show. Whew, you are just bursting with ideas aren't you? lol
I always think the same thing about the expressions that dogs make...I always guess what they're really saying...ESPECIALLY when their owner follows them every morning with a plastic bag picking up their poop as they poop....they must say "And you say humans are the most intelligent species??? LOL"

ReplyDeleteKerry -- That might be worth paying money to see:)
ReplyDeleteEthnic diversity already setting in.

Well it would have to be my life as a dj I think. That could be fun. :D
ReplyDeleteCan't think of one but yours is entertaining:)
ReplyDeleteOh the color differences LOL
ReplyDeleteMy show would be about going and looking at gardens and talking about flowers and shrubs.
Cute!
ReplyDeleteCamera shy. But I'd love to be the director! :) And it would be about...life...the real nitty gritty. :)
ReplyDeleteMine would feature science and science fiction guests. The discussions between them would be interesting to me and all three people in the viewing audience.
ReplyDeleteA show featuring crying would sell better.
OH, that Americana looks just like my favorite hen, Maude. Yeah, finally I know a star!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.... hard one. I guess it could be about travel. Maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo.
ReplyDeleteMy show would be about knitting. It's the only thing I can say I'm pretty good at.
Ha! I love your captions. Mine would be about the funky art world in Miami and the Cuban quirkiness that surrounds me. :)
ReplyDeleteYou'd have a hit!
ReplyDeleteA tie between:
ReplyDelete1. Stupid things people do that piss me off, and,
2. The variety of ways you can swear (verbs, adverbs, adjectives) in the English language.
Funny!
ReplyDeleteI would totally watch your chicken show!
ReplyDeleteIt has often been remarked, and not just by me, that my workplace would make an excellent reality show. There is sooooo much drama here.

A series based on my book - which in spite of all the near misses has yet to be published.
