The thing that is absolutely incredible about satellite TV is that there is just about a channel for every desire you could possibly imagine. Would you like to watch a cartoon channel, that plays animated shorts morning, noon, and night? You have your options. Do you want to watch made-for-TV movies that are targeted towards women? There are multiple satellite channels that might suit your need. What about a cooking channel that is dedicated solely to chefs who are preparing foods for all Americans to watch? Simply turn on your high definition television, and the choice is yours!
But there are some ideas that are maybe even a little bit too crazy for satellite TV. Although, who knows, maybe in a few years they will come standard with every package. Here are some of the best ideas: you are sure to get a laugh or two!
1. The Mafia Channel
This channel would feature anything that has to do with the mafia. This could include television shows like the Sopranos, and movies like The Godfather, Casino, the Departed, and Reservoir Dogs. But it could also include biopics of Mafiosos like Al Capone and Tony Acardo, or documentaries on organized crime in different hubs like Chicago and New York. The channel would certainly feature its fare share of violence, and would not be for the light of heart.
2. The Steve Buschemi Channel
Steve Buschemi is one of those rare character actors who actually has become a relatively known name. This is because he simply is in everything. You can hardly turn on your satellite TV without seeing a film he has been in. His roles include films such as The Big Lebowski, Fargo, Ghost World, 30 Rock, Billy Madison, Con Air, and Armageddon, to name a few. His crooked teeth, his skinny frame, and that imperceptible feeling that he is always on the brink of insanity have made him popular in screwball comedies, quirky indie flicks, and dark psychological thrillers alike. In addition to the dozens upon dozens of films he has been in, the channel could include artist biographies and interviews. It would be almost like a fan club with its own channel on televisions around the world.
3. The Based-on-A-Book Club
Some of the most popular films in this day and age were base on books. This can range from well-loved classic novels like Pride & Prejudice or Huck Finn to recent page-turners and smash hits like the Harry Potter series, The Lovely Bones, or Atonement. Probably half of a dozen channels could be filled up with this genre, and more movies are being made in this vein every month of every year.
4. The Musician Vanity Project Channel
With celebrity culture taking over just about everything else in the United States, there is no shortage of vanity projects to go around. So many musicians, reality TV contestants, and models think that they can act. This has produced a number of hysterically bad pieces of cinema, such as The Hottie and the Nottie with Paris Hilton, or From Justin to Kelly, featuring the winner and runner-up of the first season of American Idol.
