Real-people shows are all the rage, but their tired themes are starting to suck. So we came up with some that would hold our attention indefinitely.

Road Rules: Greyhound

(SPOOF: ROAD RULES) The hipsters of Road Rules get no fancy bus or cushy cots to sleep on--instead, they must share their space with drooling, talking-to-themselves weirdos. First challenge; Peeing in that skanky bathroom--and not on themselves.

Making the Celebrity Band

(SPOOF: MAKING THE BAND) Kevin Bacon (from The Bacon Brothers), Russell Crowe, and other actors who sing form a band, change their names--and see if they can get a recording contract without cashing in on their showbiz connections!

Cops: In Palm Springs

(SPOOF: COPS) Tune in every week to see Robert Downey Jr. get busted in a different fancy hotel room and then get thrown before the mercy of the court. Excellent crossover potential as Ally McBeal represents him on his many trial dates for his various violations.
