You play a TV show (or rather, its associated crew and actors) vying for a spot on prime time television. Possibly you play an actor or crewmember for someone else's TV show. Every half-season, the National Broadcasting Network (NBN) receives the new ratings and reschedules all the shows accordingly.

The goal, aside from the antics that competing TV shows shot in close proximity to one another are bound to have, is to obtain and keep a prime time slot.

That's the basic concept. It needs some work, and I'm uncertain where the RP would belong. It's sort-of like a nation RP, but it definitely isn't. On the other hand, it might end up in tabletop or arena because of the competitive scoring nature. Or maybe it's just a normal RP. I'm leaning toward that. Think Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip in RP form. The glaring problem is, of course, determining the Nielsen rating in a fair manner.

You could play almost any type of show - live sketch comedy, particularly exciting news of some sort (bit of a stretch there), action serials, scifi monster-of-the week, drama, 1/2 hour comedy, and so on.

Thoughts?
Interest?
Improvements?

hmm interesting, a nationRP-esque television battle for ratings...INTERESTING, VARY INTERESTING.
im guessing 2-5 AM is just reruns/infomercials.
when the RP is going, would we rp through a generalized view of the crew, or specify events that would happen to groups of the grew, add a bit of focus to different points of the process in which we make the show?

I think the second way would be more interesting. Though it could get pretty detailed pretty quickly.

Yea, this would end up being sort of a small scale nation roleplay, but it could be high-casual to advanced.
