Think you can create a TV lineup that doesn't suck?
If you are anything like me, you lament the existence of TV execs who cancel shows like "Firefly," "Wonderfalls" and "Veronica Mars," while shows like "Cavemen" get greenlit. ("Charmed" ran for eight seasons. Seriously.)
While TV Bigshot won't let you keep great shows on the air, it does give you something to do on your break at work. It's a game put on by Television Without Pity and network sponsors. You get a budget of $300 million to use to buy and sell TV shows and move up the rankings, which change every week with the Nielsen ratings.
I love online stock exchange games, so I'm in. (I've been playing Hollywood Stock Exchange for years.) Comment if you're playing so I can see how we compare!

TV - it's dead on February 17, 2009.
Between YouTube, PodShow and several other Internet sites, there is more than enough intellectually challenging shows to replace the "stuff" being pushed on us by the networks. One police drama - Port City PD - in it's second season is even produced in North Carolina.
