I dunno, I think I have seen Lust in Space on Cinemax late night and it wasn't bad. Now, List in Space would probably suck... Last in Space might be interesting. Lest in Space is a bit highbrow for my tastes.

Sod Squad - a reality show following a band of immigrant lawncare workers as they struggle to keep a suburban subdivision green in the midst of a persistent drought. I know exactly where they can film the first season.

Well, I haven't seen the show, but I imagine you could ruin Dear John if you changed the Dear John letter that serves as the basis for the show into junk mail.

(Am I doing this right? :wink: )
