Television Shows EWTN refused to air...

.
As you all know EWTN decided not to air Fr. Corapi's programs until the investigation into the allegations against him is concluded and his name is cleared. 
.
That said, many Catholics have submitted program ideas for the network to air.  Talk of a Catholic View, based on Barbara Walter's The View is in the works, as are other programming innovations.  Posted here are a couple of ideas they rejected.
.
The Larry D and the Deee Lite Variety Hour.  Few people realize what the D in Larry D stands for - but now you know.  His wife is an entertainer - Deee Lite is their stage name.  Based on the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, this Branson style family entertainment offering may have been just a little too off beat.  Unfortunately, the program wasn't approved for cloistered audiences.
.
Dancing With the Catholic Stars. Featuring former Arthur Murray dance instructor and Prom Center dancing Queen, Adriennne.  The format is somewhat different from the show which inspired it.  Staged in a lovely ballroom setting, all glammed up Adrienne waltzes with her guests as she interviews such noted priests and theologians such as Cardinal Burke, Fr. Z and Scott Hann.  The show never aired after Adriennne tripped over the Cardinal's cappa magna and threw out her back.
.
Real Desperate Housewives.  A weekly live, Edward R. Murrow 1950's style interview program, hosted by Angela Messenger was set to go into homes via Skype to interview Catholic Women who blog.  Lot's of drama - maybe too much.  One subject never left her closet while being interviewed, claiming she was in her pajamas or not in make-up.  Another kept begging for money throughout the interview and refused to answer personal questions.  The first episode was about a mid-western housewife* living out her Ma and Pa Kettle dream, but her husband threatened to sue the network if it aired - claiming the man playing the wife was in reality his farm hand.  A good idea - failed.
