Brilliant Idea

I was at the nursing home today, of course, as it's one of my favorite haunts and my place of employment when I had an AMAZING idea. I was listening to entertaining chit-chat amongst the residents (peppered with curse words and grunts) while being hit on by the umpteenth horny old man (who literally attempt to seduce everyone without breasts sagging to their feet...and sometimes them too...); a normal day at the office. After witnessing an extended and heated conversation between a physical therapist and a particularly belligerent old woman REFUSING to put on her special anti-slip socks (apparently they were a fashion faux-pas?) I realized that this was probably the most fascinating place on earth. Just as the woman began screeching at an ear-splitting volume it clicked in my mind how to relay this amusing situation to the average American household: reality television. 

(I suppose you could just attempt to get people to visit their g-mas and g-pas in the old folk homes, but really, I want to be a tad more realistic. We are a lazy people, it's just an accepted fact we must work with rather than against.)

As far as the reality t.v. angle, I mean, I'm no stranger to sitcom writing, and I suppose you could attempt to write plots based on these happenings, but why do the work when it's already done for you? Take the path of least resistance. Nursing homes are rife with drama (whether they actually exists or are created by the workings of dementia on a seasoned mind), love connections (though, admittedly, many involved in them have no idea), and no shortage of explosive personalities. Touching, thought provoking, and, most importantly, hilarious. 

I don't know why it hasn't been attempted before. 

If any television executives happen to be interested (and, I mean, don't wait to respond guys...I'm expecting a lot of buzz on this one), I'd love to make this happen. (This has the potential of being another Forest-Stone gold mine, a ratings baby)
