Names of the cast slowly crawling down the black screen. Background music:

INT. The studio is coloured in a bleak sandy colour . The participants are wearing a uniform that matches the interior. They are sitting on the chairs, looking impatiently bored . A clock could be seen behind them. The potato sacks filled with something standing near their feet. The host assumes the posture of the aloof individual and is staring into the camera. 

HOST (in monotonous voice)

MEN

*groaning lazily*

The camera moves to the entrance from which six women come out with glass jars in their hands. The women are dressed plainly. The women are not smiling, walking in a meek manner, heads down. They put the jars near the men and walk away.

P.S. this is not a proper proper way to write a script 🙂

So, this is how I see the most boring game-show, though, in my opinion, our media done far worse. 🙂

Oh and I must give credit where credit is due, thank you Matthew (// Normal Happenings) for giving me such a delightful prompt.
