New Shows On The Docket

Networks bank on reality politics to get ratings up.

Who wants to be President?, Is the Prime Minister smarter than a 4th grader?, President Idol.

A trio of reality TV focusing on North American politics is about to hit the airwaves.

“We think the time has come to put the entertainment in politics and embrace it,” one producer of a major network said.

“I think these shows will be on par with anything we’ve put out in the past and has a real chance to surpass Big Brother, The Amazing Race and American Idol in their prime. Simon Cowell has agreed to commit to President Idol so you know the candidates will have to be sharp and be able to take criticism!” a network insider said.

Always bet on 4th graders.

For its part, the Canadian portion of this trio. Is the Prime Minister smarter than a 4th grader has faced some criticism from fourth graders.

“We’re just not sure who will host the show. Right now John Fetterman or Neil Young are the frontrunners,” a spokesperson revealed.

Meanwhile, the show has drawn criticism from 4th graders.

“They’re really setting the bar low, aren’t they? It’s insulting” Cindy from Boogaloo Elementary in Thunder Bay said.

ITPMSTA4TH debuts on the CBC Monday night.

“We’re excited to have ‘Is the PM,' well you know, here at the CeeeeeeeeeeeebeeeeeeeeeC!’ shouted the CEO as she climbed into her BMW.

Bad Doctor.

Sam Stinktwaddle is a baaaaad doctor at St. Mary’s Hospital Boogaloo.

As his life crumbles around him having lost his wife and the house after a messy divorce, Sam takes his frustration out on his colleague and patients.

Desperate for cash and craving recognition, there’s no pill he won’t turn down, no ventilator he won't use, no treatment he’ll consider, no patient chart he won’t misdiagnose.

Unless it comes in the right kind of envelope with the right incentives.

Come watch the nation’s most corrupt and unethical doctor as his nemesis Deborah Lash clash trying to take him down.

Bad Doctor airs this month.

Station 19 1/2.

Adjacent to Station 19, Station 19 1/2 tells the story of a politically impolite and incorrect fire department filled with toxic white and black masculinity and no safe spaces who engage in a friendly rivalry filled with friction.

However, the town’s Mayor has been trying to shut down 19 for a couple of years but is faced with an increasingly resistant town who are warming up to the new kids in town.

“It’s like Animal House just moved next door,” said the shows creator Peter Smickle.

A television critic is predicting the show won’t meet the hype. “I think it will be cancelled mid-broadcast it’s that hurtful. I’m literally shaking.”
