Coming Soon To ABC: Fat March

[Robert Bass]

Well you gotta love this: http://abc.go.com/specials/fatmarch.html

Apparently these people have heard of "my radio show" and have called to see about getting some publicity.

I'm not sure whether to laugh at this, or be offended by it.

Hey I am all for getting in shape, but do we really need a reality TV show covering it?

Well Robert Consider yourself fortunate its not NBC's"World's Biggest Loser"( nothing directed at you!!!) It goes to show networks are struggling to come up with some original,creative ideas,instead of borrowing heavily from one or directly ripping anothers off( FOX).

You can win it back by viewing my auction on E-bay! ;D

I wonder how the other networks will counter this programming with their own? I can see it all now... "Tonight at 9; Worth Your Weight In Gold"

Fox "The heavy weights of Broadcasting"
CBS News Special" Weigh Over Our Heads:The people behind the mics"
PBS" He ain't heavy he's my brother" :Relatives of Radio"

PBS" He ain't heavy he's my brother" :Relatives of Radio"

This will be followed by a Neil Diamond "Turn On Your Heartlight" Special.

Both programs will be fund raising telethons to help out wayward broadcasters
now in mental institutions, and those that are homeless due to automation,
voice tracking, and general corporate shafting.

Get real! They're going to make a gross program out of those who are gross (in size)? I can't wait to see how long it takes this idea to crash and burn.

After which it’ll be dubbed “Requiem for a Heavyweight”?

"Fat March"? I thought "Fat Tuesday" was enough, but now they want to do this for an entire month? Beware the "wides" of March!!

 

[KPLEXCOMPLEX]

I am visualizing a "Ton" of parades at local all you can eat buffets.

Maybe it should be called " A waist of Dallas"
