TV Shows

How would certain TV shows be different if they featured Asians (or rather me and people I know)? Let's take a look:

MTV's Date My Mom
Girl: So what can you tell me about Raymond?
Mom: He's a good boy. Got good grades in school. Made him very popular.
Girl: Umm... anything else? Is he athletic?
Mom: Hmm.. He got good grades. Couldn't really focus on sports.
Girl: ... Does he like to go to parties?
Mom: Not really. No time for partying in school. Had to focus on academics. Very important you know.
Girl: ... I guess....
Mom: What about you? Are you pre-med? Pre-law?
Girl: No. I'm an aspiring model.
Mom: ..... [blank stare]
Girl: ....
Mom: Nevermind, I don't want you dating my son.

MTV's Pimp My Ride
Xzibit: We took your Toyota Camry and put on 18" rims!!!!!
Me: [unenthusiastically] Wow.
Xzibit: And we put in 6 Xboxes!!!!
Me. Wow.
Xzibit: And that's not all! We put a bowling ball polisher in the trunk!!!!
Me: Wow.
Xzibit: What do you think!?!?
Me: One question.
Xzibit: Yeah!??!?!?
Me: How's my mileage?

NBC's Fear Factor:
Host (don't know his name): For your first challenge, you have to jump off a moving truckbed onto a speeding motorcyle!
Bo: No problem.
Host: For your second challenge, you have to eat bull testicles!
Bo: No problem.
Host: For your third challenge, you have to buy an item from the supermarket at full price!
Bo: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or there could be a reality show based on me and my friends in high school. You know, sorta like Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County but cooler. Some clips would be:

Si: Wow. There's a sale at MicroCenter. We should go this weekend.
Bo: Man, LISP is so cool. Recursion is so elegant. Beautiful even.
Me [while watching TV]: Hey, does anyone know the derivative for tangent off the top of their heads?

Now the key question for you readers is how many of the above events actually happened.

Hours spent at work today: 3
Optimism outlook for the week: Negative, with chances of brief spurts of melancholy.
