Just when you thought you have heard it all, CBS has ordered a pilot from Mark Burnett for a reality/competition featuring terminally ill people. Titled Live Like You Are Dying, and created by Survivor host Jeff Probst, a different dying participant will be given a chance to live out his or her fantasy in each episode. All I can say to Jeff Probst is…keep you day job, please!


Isn't this basically a take off of the movie "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson?

Which itself was a take-off on the unsung and shortlived "Twenty Good Years" sitcom on NBC, which still has nine unaired episodes I might add.

LOL Big Grin Even 20 Good Years though may be better than that ear-stingingly awful Kath and Kim.

Note also that the approval of torture of prisoners of war came from the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal's appointed Pentagon civilians. The uniformed military Adjutant Generals' opposed use of torture and and State Dept. legal experts were not involved in the approvals. The Attorney General John Ashcroft (in an extensive NEW YORK TIMES report), was the only high Bush official to oppose it and to express concerns for consequences to America's image in the rest of the world, once news got out---that they were using extended episodes of 20 Good Years and Caveman as the most common method of torture.
