All this coverage of the Schiavo episode and the Pope has got me to thinking of a new cable station venture (if it doesn’t already exist): The Death Channel.
It could feature death watches, funerals, mourners, obituaries, executions, autopsy shows (how about some classic Quincy, M.E.?), combat/catastrophe specials, murder trials, on and on.
People are naturally fascinated with death, and there would never a shortage of new content for this concept.
