  Quest for Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden
  Based on the popular phrase "fairies at the bottom of the garden," this series follows on the popularity of shows like Ghost Lab and MonsterQuest. It features a main announcer, preferably with an English accent, travelling the world on the hunt for fairies and other fairy-folk. He uses all sorts of unique tools and techniques on his quest while investigating every inane sighting.
  Potential Tagline: We can't prove they're not there.

  Fuckin' Explosions
  The logical extension of Mythbusters and other shows like Smash Lab, this series will feature nothing but explosions. There will be no hosts, no narrators, no educational content, no prep work. It will consist solely of an hour's worth of explosions. Toasters, cars, freight trains, 747s, everything. Just strapping on explosives and blowing stuff up.
  Potential Tagline: And God saw the light, that it was good

  The Fall of MTV
  While this can potentially be extended into a month-spanning documentary, just one hour will probably be enough. This will give a narrative account of MTV's birth as a television channel of music and continue through its drunken fall into the abyss of "reality" TV and celebrity gossip.
  Potential Tagline: MTV used to play music. Here's what happened.

  Vegetarianism and Evil
  This will be a one-off documentary digging in to the evil side of vegetarianism. Rather than being stereotyped as irritating but harmless hippies, the narrator will dredge up history's worst vegetarians. While it may be difficult to pin their crimes on vegetarianism, we will certainly try in order to ride the controversy circuit.
  Potential Tagline: Hitler was vegetarian. That's right… Hitler.
