Kevorkian Channel
This Is Your Death

Similar concept to The Final Word Channel but with dignity. On this one they run a life profile of the suicidee/s whom they have on the show this week.

We then see the "victim" going quietly about their last hours and get to shed a few tears over the brave, dignified demise of someone we've had all of 20 minutes airtime to come to love.

When it's my time I wouldn't mind going this way.

Downside: No encore performances by our viewer's favourite.

       This concept is a weekly television program?

       What did happen to the Final Word Channel? ....I kind of miss it.

       [Admin: the owner of "The Final Word Channel" deleted his or her account, taking ideas and annotations down with them. I have no clue why.]

       I thought this was going to be a channel that made me want to kill myself. That's baked.

       You need a whole channel so that whole the show itself is not on air, they can monopolize the airtime with advertising for suicide machines, legal will kits, charity donations, and law firms looking for employment (in case you become a zombie).

       ...and it should be called the "Kevorkian Show" on the "dsm" channel.

       Euthanasia has become legal in the Netherlands, the first country to permit mercy killing for the hopelessly ill who are desperate to die.

       Even better, use methods of euthanasia to knock off a TV newsreader or weather forecaster gradually over the course of a year or so, without their knowledge.

       well in that case its not euthanasia then is it?

kaz, Apr 03 2002
  

       More like slow, subtle calculated murder. Purely for entertainment value of course.

brewmaster, Apr 03 2002
  

       There's a show called 'Six Feet Under' on HBO which starts out some episodes with someone's death. The show itself centers around a family in the funeral business.

       centauri must not be aware of Lifetime Television....
