So you think you can _________?

I had a moment of clarity over the weekend while I was watching a commercial for what appears to be another cheesy talent show on fox. During the commercial, a guy took a flying leap and landed on his face, which got my attention. The show is called, “So you think you can dance?”

It came to me in a flash. I’d like to develop a show called, “So you think you can swear?”

Just think about the auditions. Brooklyn plumbers, Princeton frat boys, all branches of the military would probably be represented, et. al. Granted it would have to be on cable, but I think IÂ’m really on to something.

On a safer note, I’ll also be pitching, “So you think you can read?” because recent experience shows that few people actually can. I’m thinking the best part would be pitting small children against stupid adults.

Brilliant, huh?

1 I caught an episode of the show I think you're talking about - the dancing one? It's such a ripoff - the judges are exact replicas of the AI people: There's the caustic Brit, the chick who likes everyone (who bears a resemblance in sight and sound to Paula Abdul), and a black dude. And, just like AI, it's only fun to watch in the beginning, because that's when all the freaks come out to play.

2 Yeah, but does the chick show up to the show half fried? If she doesn't then she's failing her role.
