I'm allowed to have weird ideas on my own blog, right?  Ok, I'm sitting with my son watching "Top Chef" or something like that on television. I'm thinking, how does this show generate enough audience to merit any advertising dollars? Are we at the point where television is really an outlet to fulfill frustrated producers' egos?   Does everyone and their sister get to have a television show? If this is the case, is television the new social media?
 
Now let's take this one step further. If television is the new social media, then why not experiment with the tried and true social media forums. Yes, I'm talking "You Tube on the Original Tube."  
 
Surely it won't be long before some entrepreneurial type launches a successful video-sharing television network.  Air several different categories a night – lip-synching, primitive animation and – in honor of America's Funniest Home Videos – crotch-kicking. I do believe it has potential.
