So You Think You Can Build - Bob Villa eat your heart out.

So You Think You Can Direct a Movie - Spielberg eat your heart out (no seriously, I'll get you a spoon)

So You Think You Can Make a Difference - community service made popular, it's a win-win!

So You Think You Can Write a Book - Stephen King, you probably don't want to watch this.

So You Think You Can Be a Parent - poor contestant bastards

So You Think You Can Swim - takes place in the English Channel

So You Think You Can Space Travel - hey if it was a reality show, I'd watch it. Wouldn't you??

Tons of great ideas! I'm particularly interested in "So You Think You Can Write a Book?" and "So You Think You Can Direct a Movie," which sort of reminds of "Project Greenlight" back in the day, but with a little less Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

My idea is "So You Think You Can Spell?". I think America is ready for a prime time spelling bee type competition! It would be so amazing.

Interestingly, they tried that exact idea up here in Canada. It flopped.

However, many home grown shows fail up here... so it might work in the states.

"So You Think You Can Run a Startup"

Wow, that would be great... but it would have to be on PBS or another channel that doesn't try to commercialize every moment. "American Inventor" and even "The Apprentice" were both ruined by poor decisions based around money.

In contrast, "Dragon's Den" up here in Canada is a VC show that is doing quite well. It's ran by our government aided broadcasting company, CBC.

So You Think You Can Troll?

It would be kind of like Punked, but actually funny and with real victims. Famous examples of trolling include getting Oprah to say "over 9,000 penises" on television, ruining the ending to Harry Potter books, and of course Rick Rolling (all masterminded by one group, FYI). The show would have teams of people competing weekly to pull off the funniest troll. No one would do it of course. It wouldn't take long for the lawsuits to roll in.

Here's a video of Fox 11 being trolled.

Title: "So You Think You Can Host?"

Summary: Everybody sits at home and thinks to themselves, "I could do much better than this twit." Well then, step in front of the camera and prove it! You'll have to face temperamental contestants, producers who don't think you even need to be there, a camera crew whose mission seems to be shooting you from every possible unflattering angle, a concept that was dreamed up in the middle of the night after the network's big new series failed to attract an audience. And if you can't keep your ratings up, you're canceled!

Sounds more like a video game! I would def play it if it were produced. Would have to mix in some great video analysis technology. Could even be bundled with a special camera!

So You Think You Can Drink. This show is geared particularly for frat boys. On each episode contestants consume copious amounts of alcohol and are then expected to perform stupid stunts, like paint a picture, dance, go through a maze, be the first to find the key to their dorm from some enormous keychain, etc.

So you think you can Haggle. It would be a show for those kind of people looking for a discount in what they are buying, If you can get a price lowered to another price you can get the difference of the 2 and see if someone can beat that difference. Depending on one's desparation it will take strategy that would be good for both people on each side of the exchange and it has to be to a complete stranger like if you met someone in the flea market. It will be very difficult once a certain amount has been reached, but you never know how far it will go

I think the world is ready for..."So you think you can rap?"

Rap today is one of the most influential industries worldwide today, particularly targeting children. Up to this point, networks have shied away from this cultural movement that continues to grow. I think the network that is brave enough to tap into such an idea could really hit it big.

Contestants would be plentiful as there is an abundance of underground aspiring stars. I think such a show could really start a revolution in terms of the integration of a movement that speaks for a huge number of people living lives that many try to shield themselves from looking at into the media in a new light.

echo this... this was goin to be my suggestion. education is so important, yet parents sit at home and play armchair quarterback like it's easy, bitching at teachers for things out of their control. expose the idocracy that parents use in addressing hardworking, underpaid teachers.

"So You Think You Can Game"

In this show, you'll watch gamers and non-gamers alike compete head-to-head in a variety of games, from classics like games from the Atari 2600 to new stuff like Wii and XBox 360 games.

There will be teams of three competing against each other in branching competition style:

Team A
vs
Team B
Winner vs Winner
Team C
vs
Team D

At the end of each season, the finalist teams will compete on a brand new, never-before-seen game made especially for the show. (It will be available to the masses after the season is over, of course.)

Seriously, so many of today's shows are lame and evidence of the degradation of any kind of morality and values in modern society.

Many of the ideas above are actually thoughtful and would be interesting AND contribute to society in some way, instead of glorifying idiots. Do you know how many people act like the idiots in reality shows bc they think that is what makes them famous?

"So you think you can teach?" was my idea... it was taken above. But really, why don't we highlight those in America who bust their a$$es and get NO respect for it, all to educate your country. Kids have such horrible parents these days, and act unbelievably bad in school yet the parents blame the teachers! Watch one nanny show, you'll see whose fault bad kids are.. the rents.
