How about this for a show?

It's called prime time death. It's a one hour show in prime time and they just show you death after death after death and then a near death. The ensemble cast goes around and is near these deaths. Then when you start liking one of those characters they die. Just like that. Or they have a near death or if it's a season finale they show you something that looks like death but just turns out to be really really serious and permanent injuries.

Oh shoot when I try to pitch this show to NBC they would say, "Oh dude, we've got that show already and Michael Crichton is making an absolute killing (pun completely intended) on it."
