These 19 Television Shows Don't Exist, But They Should

We need this.

After mulling over what's missing on television, I ideated a list of 19 shows that I would tune in every week to watch on TV if they existed. Today's television programming is decent, but it could use a little pizazz.

If any television network brings any one of the hypothetical television shows that I've mentioned to fruition, I'm going to need a residual check.  

1. The Real Housewives of Hip-Hop

Reality shows that center around housewives are an integral part of the unscripted reality television show genre. There is The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but there isn't a Real Housewives of Hip-Hop. I would love for there to be reality show focusing on the lives of the wives of hip-hop megastars. The famous cast would consist of Shante Broadus (Snoop Dogg's wife), Cardi B (Offset's wife), Kimberly Woodruff (Ice Cube's wife), and Melissa Heholt (J. Cole's wife). I would tune in each week to see how wifehood is navigated when one is married to a key player in the hip-hop game.

2. Flavor of Love All-Stars: Another Chance at Love with Flavor Flav

Season 1 and Season 2 of Flavor of Love spawned a plethora of gifs and memes that are embedded in internet culture. All over social media, notable contestants like Tiffany "New York" Pollard and Schatar "Hottie" Sapphira are still talked about and adored. I would love to see them and the other women that didn't win Flavor's love the first (or second) go-round battle for it again in an all-star competition. 

3. Social Media Famous

It would be hilarious to watch a satirical comedy about fictional social media stars and their day-to-day lives as popular online celebrities. 

4. Big El’ Takes New York

PBS

Elmo had all of the internet going haywire after a clip of him saying "balsamic vinegar" in a very New Yorkish tone went viral. After earning street cred for pronouncing balsamic vinegar like a Bronx native of color, Twitter began nicknaming him Big El'. I propose that television programming run with this and create a show about Elmo's alter ego Big El' running around NY doing NY things.

5. Catching Karen

Karen is a euphemism for prejudice and entitled Caucasian women that have a habit of targeting people of color unprovoked. Many of these "Karens" are easily identifiable; however, some tend to fly under the radar. There should be a show exposing all the Karens in this world, and it should be titled, "Catching Karen."

6. Celebrity Moms

I would tune in each week to see celebrity divas Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Kim Kardashian, and Queen Bey juggle mommy duties and work life.

7. That 2000’s Show

CNN / Via youtube.com

It would be cool for there to be a show that focuses on a group of teens coming of age in the early 2000s. It would be like That 70's Show, but set in the 2000's era.

8. America’s Next Top Influencer

I would tune in every week to see regular non-social media famous people compete for the top spot as the next top social media influencer. If this show were to occur, it would have to be hosted by Tyra Banks. 

9. Bachelorette Parties

Television is filled with wedding planning shows like Bridezilla and Say Yes to the Dress. What TV needs now is a show that highlights what goes into planning an awesome bachelorette party. I would love tuning in each week to see how friends plan a stellar surprise bachelorette party for their almost wedded friend. 

10. Iced Coffee Wars

Imagine Cake Wars, but instead of chefs having an extravagant cake battle, they're concocting epic iced coffees. 

11. Sorority Sista's

Tenor / Via tenor.com

There should be a reality show that chronicles the lives of members of some of the divine nine sororities like Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Alpha Kappa Alpha. The show would cover what it takes to join one of the major historically Black sororities, what it's like being a line sister and the benefits of being in a divine 9 sorority.

12. Degrassi: The Next Generation Revival

CTV / Via gifer.com

A Degrassi reboot is in the works; however, the only Degrassi reboot that needs to be is one that centers around Degrassi: The Next Generation's starting lineup. This Degrassi reboot would explore where staple characters like Manny Santos (Cassie Steele) and Emma Nelson (Miriam McDonald) are in their adult life. 

13. Exposing the Real in Reality TV

Spencer Pratt from the hit reality show The Hills has been very transparent about his experience on The Hills reality show. On TikTok, Pratt has been divulging the tactics that reality TV production teams utilized to present certain narratives that were often untrue for the sake of the show's storyline. Just like Pratt is exposing The Hills, there should be a show that exposes the reality behind "real" reality TV show moments. 

14. Never Have I Ever Told This Story

Giphy / Via tenor.com

A lot happens in the industry, and some things that happen in Hollywood go untold. I would watch a show about celebrities telling never-heard-before stories about themselves, experiences in Hollywood, and their interactions with other celebs. 

15. Celebrity Kids Do Odd Jobs

Columbia Pictures / Via gifer.com

I just want to see the children of famous people do peculiar jobs that everyday people do. The money that the celebrity kids would earn being a food tester or dog groomer would have to be donated to charity, obviously. 

16. Clubbin' Around the World

Tenor / Via giphy.com

I would love there to be a series that showcases where the hottest nightclub locations are around the world. Oh, and it has to be hosted by Paris Hilton. 

17. Hinge Hookups

NBC / Via gfycat.com

It seems like most millennials use dating apps like Tinder and Hinge to make love connections nowadays. I want there to be a dating reality show that focuses on someone going on their first date with the person they connected with on the Hinge app. It would basically be a revamped version of the TV series Blind Date. 

18. Life Swap

Buena Vista Pictures / Via gifer.com

Wouldn't a show about people switching lives for a day make for interesting television? I think it would...

19. Posers

Comedy Central / Via getyarn.io

A show where celebrity doppelgängers completely transform into their celeb lookalike and attempt to pass themselves off like they're that celebrity would be epic. How many people would believe them? Would they get preferential treatment because people think they're meeting that particular celeb? It would be funny to see if celebrity doppelgängers could actually pass for real celebs and earn the same perks as they do.

What are some TV shows you would love to see come to fruition? Let me know in the comments section below!
