The majority of Netflix is shows of thrillers, violent, crime, horror. There is very few light-hearted positive television of good people doing good things.
I propose a television show which has GOOD DRAMA of lots of good competent people showing themselves to be awesome good people and the drama of everyday life.
It should depict people being profoundly competent in their careers, somewhat educational. You can have nurses, doctors, scientists, politicians, government all doing things and effecting eachother.
Good drama means amusing relationship scenarios. Not smoking, drinking and infidelity but the typical drama of someone not doing what someone else wants or not understanding something
The goal is everyone on television is someone you want to be as they're so awesome.-- chronological, Jun 27 2022 "Reality TV" (aka. really bad competition shows) are the epitome of this problem; they are pretty much all about one thing: human conflict. Not the "contest" itself, but the people arguing & lying & cheating etc (especially the "renovate a house" shows, for some reason..?). (There are some exceptions to this.) It also annoys me in movies, particularly superhero-type movies; the problem is always a "bad guy" that can be beaten by punching him. I wish the writers could think outside the box for a change. Throw Magnitude 11 earthquakes at the Avengers, that sort of "punching won't fix it" scenario.-- neutrinos_shadow, Jun 27 2022 Fred Rogers for adults. Or maybe any good science show. Or PBS's CREATE channel. Or a construction show.-- RayfordSteele, Jun 27 2022 //I propose a television show which has GOOD DRAMA of lots of good competent people showing themselves to be awesome good people and the drama of everyday life.//
Where's the conflict? Where's the challenge? Where's the relatable character? Where's the interesting part? Where's the drama? Many attempts at wholesome sitcoms have been made over the years. I like I Dream of Jeannie.-- Voice, Jun 27 2022 //reality TV and modern superhero flicks//
I've identified the problem: You're ignoring good shows and watching trash. On a related topic 94% of what Hollywood puts out has been trash for the past 20 years.-- Voice, Jun 27 2022 I don't watch the "reality" shows; seeing the ads for them is bad enough. And I watch a lot more than JUST Hollywood superhero movies.-- neutrinos_shadow, Jun 27 2022 There's a cooking show, which others in my family enjoy, in which the audience watches competent cooks cooking things. I don't find it very entertaining myself, but many people do. Is that not widely known to exist?
Or did you want a broader range of life skills on display, not just good cooking?-- pertinax, Jun 27 2022 Hahahaha..... You could always also launch your own new channel and call it Head In The Happy Sand Television.-- xenzag, Jun 27 2022 Youtubes of people building interesting things?-- RayfordSteele, Jun 27 2022 //organised religion ... worship of bad people, violence and crime and negative aspects of society//
Sounds like a fair summary definition to me. Anyway on to the idea itself, have you tried watching Postman Pat? I do believe what you describe does exist, but it is not labelled or categorised as you suggest. That is a labelling and categorising issue not a production or world moral values issue.-- pocmloc, Jun 28 2022 random, halfbakery
