With the world series of poker getting good ratings on ESPN maybe you could have dealing for converts.

Sit down with a televangelist and play cards for his TV stations while discussing apologetics!!

Just do me a favor and take on Dr. Jack Van Impe first since he started out life as a Catholic maybe you could bring him back. Plus I don’t need to hear anymore about the end of the world if it happens I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. If it doesn’t I will enjoy the day.

Hi Mom26SoFar,

Nice idea…thanks for sharing it! I don’t know how Karl would feel about it, but I’m all for it 👍

God bless.

A television quiz show sounds fine, just so long as I don’t have to appear on it.
 
:bowdown:

Superior ideas, all. I can only hope that even one of them will come into being. I know Karl says it won’t happen, but he won’t be able to resist the tide of popular opinion forever!

thanks!

Karl,

Can we assume that if it doesn’t involve "politics, sports or soap operas, you’ll be happy to participate? :cool:

Hang on, so Karl doesn’t do TV, but we’re supposed to post our pictures on the internet? Hmm…

How many pictures would it take to put Karl on TV, I wonder? How about a trade-off?

Hey, if you go with the ‘Wrestling with Scriptures’ idea, Karl could always wear a hood. Doesn’t have to show his face on TV. And if you go with the sit-com, you could have the station manager always in his office and never seen - just his voice on the intercom or saying something from the door of his office. Kind of like that old, old show (can’t remember the name) in which Mary Tyler Moore worked at an answering service and you never saw her face, just her legs. (So, Karl, how are your… never mind.)

Of course, if you give Jerry a fabulous car to ride around in as he goes across the country rescuing Catholic Radio (Relevant Man!), he’d always be tuned into Catholic Answers, so Karl could just be the voice in the car. Hey, the CAR could be called KARL - geddit?

And by the way, Edwin1961, one of my favorite TV shows of all time was WKRP in Cincinati. (How do you spell Cincinatti? Cinncinn… no…). I was thinking of a kind of blend of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and WKRP. Which reminds me, we’d need a receptionist at KIRI. Coleen Mast, of course: perky, cheerful, and totally at a loss when things get too off-the-wall. And naturally, KIRI-TV would be based in San Karlos…

And we need one of those cop/detective shows with a one-word title like “Kojak” or “Baretta” or “Mannix.” Father Stan Fortuna is straight from central casting for the lead: tough urban priest solves crimes and brings peace to gang warfare in the inner city, transforming gangtas into choir boys. We could echo “Hawaii-Five-Oh” and call it “Timothy: Three-fifteen.”

Boy, I knew I watched too much TV as a kid, but this is bad…

Instead of calling the radio station KIRI, call it KARL!

Go with God!

Oh, gosh, I’m on a roll here…

How about ‘The Guarendi Group’? (It’s the story…of a man named Guarendi…who was bringing up ten misbehaving kids…). An updated, Catholic version of a big, happy family of ten adopted kids and their parents and all the scrapes the kiddos get into. It would be cheap to produce - just follow Dr Ray’s family around with a camera. Comic premise: ‘He’s a well-known expert in child discipline, but his kids threaten to put him out of business with their antics!’

And a campy family comedy like the Addams Family, except in this version, they are the Chick Publications nightmare family: “Children! Come in here out of that sunlight and sit in the dark and worship this statue for awhile!” “Mom! Where are my rosary beads? I have to go to my Junior Papist Meeting and get my brain washed!”

Or if you want to go really low-budget, ‘Dialling for Indulgences.’ Your host, Jerry Usher, calls people at random from the telephone directory, and asks them to recite certain indulgenced prayers. In between phone calls, classic Catholic movies are shown.

OK, OK, I’m going to go get a life now…

I don’t mind showing my face on TV. I just mind being on TV. I’m never at ease when in front of the cameras, which means I just don’t enjoy doing TV. Some people, such as Marcus Grodi, seem as composed on the set as off, but I’m not one of them.

I have sufficient other ways to engage in penance.

OK, so I guess you jumping into the ring swinging the jawbone of an *** is not gonna happen, huh? Shucks. I’d even look away from these forums and turn on the TV for that one.
 
I can’t believe how OLD this thread is…maybe it’s about time to see if this idea still floats today.
 
Why can’t they Just Televise The Radio ShowThat format is getting popular now.
There would be Little expense to.
Since we don’t have EWTN radio here (CT) I for one would watch.
I never miss the Show when I’m in KY

In other words you the ideal face for radio… 😃 We all have our gifts. Radio is a wonderful medium for those who don’t like the camera.
