Here are some of mine.
* Hord 'o Heroes
In this very stupid show, a large amount of men, I mean large, like 86 or 90, spend time in an appartament that is too small to house them, the show is just all those guys talking about everyday things like how much golf sucks and repairing toasters.
* Billy takes Over
A 9 year old boy named Billy takes over a chain of fried chicken restaurants. The results are catastrophic. Share prices of the company fall by 75% in one week and many people die as a result of Billy playing in the slaughterhouse and inserting various objects into the orifaces of the chickens.
* Super Bonanza
Only a moron would sign this show for production. Super Bonanza has nothing to do with the western classic "Bonanza". The show is about two sisters who work at the post office and their relationship problems.
* Getting in Own!
A group of collage students around the nation play practical jokes on their professors, with hilarious results. The pilot episodes features students from Florida University letting an aligator into the car of the dean, who is alergic to reptiles!
* Friesdale surprise
Young children talk about fries. Each week the story centres on a child and explores his little world and how everything in it is connected to fries.
* Man Overworked
A dirty unemployed man who doesn't wear underpants keeps complaing that being unemployed is tough. Until he gets a job as an employment officer! Starring John Stamos.
* Don't tell Alice!
This excuse for a television programme centres around a youg lady named Alice Weinstrom and her small circle of friends. The apparent excitment facor is the idea that Alice's friends never tell her anything. As a result, Alice experiences terrible problems in her everyday life such as not picking up her parcels from the post office and not knowing her father died in 1991.

I think they already have something like this, but with Paris Hilton.

Tales from 'da Lounge: Season 1
In this random 4-part series, you'll experience stories told from those who participate in on-line Intarweb® forums. In particular, the 'NN. You'll be swept off your feet with love stories from wdlove, you'll learn wonderful SVX roxxors facts from Ca$h, you'll hear excerpts of what it's like to be old and not wanted in a sport that you once dominated for years by gorickey (he's retired), and last but not least you'll get a hard core lesson from tooki on what it takes to make successful on-line images work within a small size! From those who are n00b's, to all those who are Clincially Insane, these short stories are sure to keep you begging for more...

One that is actually running on the Discovery Channel this season, and one that ran there last year.
It Takes A Thief, which is a new series this year, shows two ex-burglars picking people's houses to burgle. They meet the targets, and ask them how safe they think their homes are from invasion. Then they break in, which is all videotaped, and which the family watches from elsewhere. They ransack the place, help themselves to the family's valuables, after which they all discuss how to better prevent this from happening to them for real. Of course they get all their stuff back, and a crew comes in and cleans up the mess the "thieves" made, but, other than choosing different places every week, the theme is the same; in other words, very boring. Watching different folks say, "OMG, he's taking my car" every week, and then having the thieves tell people they need to lock their houses, hide their valuables, etc., gets old quickly.
The other show, Big, which ran last season, and got cancelled, was hosted by an obese guy, and the object was to make everyday items, but to make them enormous. It was real thrilling watching them make an humungous blender, and a thirty foot long guitar, etc.  It was also easy to see why this show got cancelled.

i have two ideas for reality TV shows since those seem to be the fashion these days. One of the shows follows the lives and dramas of the camera men for other reality shows. My other idea is like one of those plastic surgery shows, except every week someone gets kicked off while they are only part way through their surgery, so the winner gets all the surgery done, the losers have something like a really nice chest but still have guts, baggy eyes, whatever else people see wrong in themselves. And there's also "When Lions attack Christians," I think I may pitch this one to Fox.

While many people question WHY reality shows exist, it's actually because they're so damn cheap to produce -- a reality show costs between $800,000 to 1-2 million per episode..
OTOH, a sitcom or regularly syndicated show can cost upwards of 14-20 million per episode, and not necessarily get NEARLY as high ratings.
I'd vote for:
From ABC: American Geek: Every season, a pyramid-type match (similar to american idol) happens, where every week the contestants are challenged to build a new, geeky device.. if they're not voted up, they get dropped. The winner becomes CEO of a .com startup.
From CBS: Hackers. A family much like the one in PC weenies, crusty but crazy people.
From UBS: The UBS evening news, with your host.. Steve Ballmer! I'm mad as hell and I can't crack it anymore!
From Fox: Sex and the Internet: A thriller cartoon with geeks, porn, and more.. of course it gets axed in the 3rd season, but due to heavy demand for reruns, gets brought back later on.

How we have come to think quality...
Here's some hot off the press:
Judge Jackson
Follows the eqploits of an older court room judge as his battle with Alzheimer diseases worsens each day, with hilarious consequences. Great moments incude Judge Jackson coming to court in his pijamas, forgetting the details of the big case overnight and urinating under the desk.
Milking with the Hendersons
Carol and Walton Henderson live in a quiet suburb of Chicago with their 4 sons and 80 cows. Episode plots usually feature the boys and cows competing for the love of their parents among the hard work, filth, and horror of raising cows.
Bettie
In this summer's newest hit "Bettie", four single guys hunt all over town for the perfect garden tools.

Ask A-W-E-S-O-M-E O 4000 . He can come up with cool ideas like a machine gun. Most of them feature Adam Sandler, though.
Or just switch on the TV.

Don't tell mom I'm not really dead
Fake an accident complete with horrific pictures and convince the single mother her only child is dead. Hold the prank for 1 month. Loads of laughs!

Bar Trek
This road chronicle in 48 episodes focus on the intimate life of a group of blind alcoholics and their various experiences with unknown drinks from around the world as served in a backwater town. Danger increases with every step! The show is narrated by a local personality and bits and pieces of anthropological observations are shared with our blind hero. Games and trivia are offered before publicity spot and get challenging increasingly as the show nears its end. Each show ends with a lesson in morality. (available in audio only)

iPods'r'Us
This show is about an MPAA lawyer in search of evil iPod owners. The audience watches the long interrogation hours to find the culprit who in the ends, witnesses the crunching of the beloved iPod in a mixer. The contract was not rejected by distributors when it was suggested to make 4 million shows.
