I am gong to watch the shit out of this show, and I will never stop watching the shit out of this show. In addition, I feel like this show could use some “senior citizen prank ideas” from Blogtown readers. Please furnish yours in the comments.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. I had the same question. Is this going to be “We set up a sign saying that Art Linkletter was going to do a four hour special live act on the origin of rock salt! Then we waited to surprise those kids when we revealed that he’s actually dead!” kind of thing? Because, yes, I would watch that.

  2. It’s a one-hour show detailing how my mom’s computer got an Internet Virus and how did she get that because she has Macafee’s Norton and the nice young man from work looked at it and said it was her Internet Megabytes and maybe her Spyware Firewall needed more Hard Drive Memory.

  3. Yeah, it’s supposedly old people pranking young people—but how could they not do the old “colostomy bag switcheroo”? I say we send in a bunch of pranks aimed at old people, and let the market place decide.

  4. Aw, it’s more fun to prank the oldsters. Like when I locked my grandpa in the basement and convinced him he was Hitler and the Russians were at the door of his bunker… priceless!

  5. A while back some friends and I were watching an episode of “What Would You Do?” where teenage boys were on the street forcing a teenage girl to drink beer. Those of us watching the show thought the scenario would be funnier if all the teenagers were replaced by senior citizens.
    Thanks NBC for stealing our thoughts.

  6. How about old ladies with rank perfume come into my work and ask me semi-retarded questions while i choke on the stench? Because that happens all the time, and I laugh about it to keep from crying
