Good suggestions. I can imagine anchors not having the make-up and smart clothes!

The news anchors shouldn't wear so smartly. They should be naked, to save on attire costs and make up.

Hmmmm.....I wish they would cut out all political ads, but I guess that wouldn't save them any money. I might be willing to pay more for cable if they promised not to air any political ads at all.....LOL

Michele wouldn't like that, I guess.

All the car chases in police shows are replaced by foot chases.

Science fiction special effects rely heavily on aluminum pie plates and left-over sparklers.

Local newscasts are replaced by reliable, old-fashioned town criers.

National newscasts are reduced from an hour to ten seconds by using one anchor who just says "same as yesterday, but worse."

I love the weather solution from Star!

Jon, & Bee...yes, that's what we have!

Instead of making a lot of realistic, expensive sets, they could just throw a bunch of cheap ones together.

Wait, didn't they do that for TOS?

Zing!

Perhaps doctor house could convince them all to be better people ...lord knows what that would accomplish.

All the shows take place inside. No "on location" scenes. Just murals in the background of the set to make it look like they're outside.

First, Congratulations on # 700! Wow! All of them are so derned entertaining I love coming here!

Okay, cutting costs -

No more airwaves - it's all done via walkie talkies (so it's all local hee hee)

A different volunteer daily to give news reports (hey, you might find out who's cat you have!)

BillBoards telling you when the sales are!

Cut out about half of the gibberish from the Weather man and get to the point. That's all I got but I'll probably come up with more throughout the day. Happy 700th and meet and greet from Michele's.

First of all congrats on 700 posts. My suggestion for television is to do the weather report by opening a window and sticking their head out. Then they an say"yep, it's raining" or whatever.. Michele sent me.
