It was inevitable with the popularity of shows like “The biggest Loser”, and “Oprah”, that the networks would eventualy create a channel dedicated to this huge demographic. Fat people have been filling up TV screens for years. Shows and movies like “Fat Albert”, “Ironside”, “The Honeymooners”, “Family Guy” and a slew of other big names stars and celebrities have weighed in with appearances and heavy performances on screen. Fat people’s appetite for fame and success is big as other people, but their opportunities were limited, because the old TV analog signals limited it’s screen size to 720 pixels. That’s only enough space for one, maybe two fat people, not an entire cast. Now with digital TV being broadcast in hi-def at a pixel width of 1920 and plenty of flat panel widescreen TVs on the market, there is plenty of room for fat people on TV.
Reality TV has dominated the networks and now really fat TV will. Fat versions of many of our most favorite shows, are in development. “Fat Survivor”, “The amazingly obese race”, other shows such as the UFW (Ultimate Fat Wrestling).The possibilities are endless and viewers appetite for more shows seems to be bottomless. Remember “Three’s company” starring Jack Ridder and two hot babes ?
Now they are talking about producing “Fours a crowd and then some”, about three really fat chicks and their old, fat, and cranky super, Mr Wanker. There’s even talk of making a “Miss Fat America Pageant”, or “Fat Watch” an update to “Bay Watch” only this time instead of seeing Pamela Anderson running up and down the beach we get some really fat broads in string bikinis.
