TV Viewers Want To Influence Plots

I'd direct her towards my groin first and then the wood chipper.

I would make James Nesbittt's head explode in any programme he appears in.

If I could control sitcoms it would be boring because the character would always make the right decision. Peep show would have only lasted a couple of episodes. Eep.

In Friends, Rachel would have ended up with Joey and not Ross.

I've been dreaming of this day ever since I cracked open my first Choose Your Own Adventure book! This is going to be awesome! Maybe they'll even retrofit old sitcoms with a branching facility that allows the viewer to decide whether Del Boy should fall through the bar or get a punch in the kecks from Trigger. Let's cover all the bases I say!

On one of my mom's soaps there is a guy whose supposed to be one of the show's sex symbols. He's got a major gut and whatever you call that guy paunch thing below the belt (like Fred Mertz on I love Lucy). They constantly have it hidden behind something like a desk or briefcase. So I would have my remote remove the stuff from in front of him so everyone could see what a fatty he is and get over it. This could make his love scenes very interesting.

OK Leevil let's explain this thing again about "reality" and "unreality".

Your groin is not in the TV show. It is at home *watching* the TV show.

This thread is about changing the stories you see on your TV. Not magicking plank-of-wood actresses to materialise in your living room and do nasty sex things involving sandwiches.

Anyway, you've spoiled it now. I hope you're pleased.

*repeatedly hits the Griff go-away button*

This concept is going to work great in wildlife films - poor lions starving to death as the viewers decide the cute little gazelle gets away every time.

BONG!
