Why can't we have a TV network?

[Deej]

Why couldn't one of us be silly rich and purchase a cable network? Why can't that be possible? Surely the BRAVO channel would be willing to sell out. Granted, it would probably make zero cash and fold after a month. But, wouldn't that be one hell of a swell month, packed with glorious programming? mmmmmm..good watchin'. Well, that was just a sixth grade "what if" tirade. But,Dammit, it would be neato!

I plan to make this the first item on my list of things to do after I get silly rich by selling Zanzibar to the army of Moon Men who want revenge on Hercules.

I'll chip in when I'm insane rich from the band.  After I get out of jail of course.............

What would we name our bad movie channel? It would have to be something more original than "The Sci-Fi Channel" or "The Comedy Channel."

How about:

"TEN - The Trash Entertainment Network"
"ABC - Amazingly Bad Cinema"
"NBC - Nothing But Crap"
"CBS - Can't Be Serious"

The possibilities are endless . . .

BMC - The Bad Movie Channel. "We guarantee that our movies are bad".

[Evan3]

No no no, we have to use reverse psychology to turn a profit.

Like DCM (Dracula's Classic Movies)

or

WNOM (We Not Owned By Microsft)

or


BAD  (Brilliant Aramaic Deities)
What, Im no good at these things.

But make it sound like we only show good movies

Far be it from me to ruin a good topic, but at times the Action and Mystery channels have a lot of good stuff....
