Love The Idea - Not Sure I Would Watch

So, Jeff Probst of Survivor and FFF fame has been given the greenlight by CBS to film a pilot of a new show which is basically about giving a terminal patient their last wish and filming it all for television. Morbid? I don't think so. I do know they are going to go for the heartstrings. Jeff says that in addition to whatever wish the participant can come up with, they will also spend an hour getting to know the person, their family and anything else they can do to make us cry. I love the idea of giving someone who is dying their wish. Make A Wish is one of the best ideas ever conceived. I just don't know if I want to watch it happen every week. I think it will be a huge hit, I am just not sure I can watch it.

What I like about television or movies is the opportunity to escape from my own problems, life or drama and just get lost in a story for 30 minutes or a few hours. I'm not sure I want to spend the time getting involved in the problems of someone else. I could be wrong, and maybe I will watch along with the rest of you, but for now, I would just rather watch something that does not make me think or care or worry. One of the Executive Producers of the show comes from Extreme Makeover Home Edition and so you know that they will be going for tears and kleenex with every episode.
