Welcome to a new category of procrastination, entitled "Reality TV Shows We'd Like To See." In it, we brainstorm concepts for new reality shows in genres that the networks have not yet exploited. The latest addition comes from Andy Gass, Nick Fleisher and Christine Evans. A passing conversation brought up the point that no one has yet exploited the awkward interaction that happens when children, their friends and their parents end up in a room together. Regardless of whether the child is twelve or twenty-five, everything their parents do has the potential to make them suddenly cringe. Imagine what would happen if they were all trapped together on an island! Fathers using coconuts to make inappropriate jokes about breasts? Mothers telling stories about their children's sexual educations that they'd sworn not to reveal? Goodbye, dignity, hello, ratings! The show would be called something along the lines of, "Dad, You Promised!" (said in an appropriately whiney tone, complete with an embarrassed groan from the audience).
