8 Ideas For New Lebanese Shows

The creative juices are running wild today, so we have decided to bless the many artists, producers, distributors, and whoever else is listening, with 10 new and innovative ideas for local shows. We’re pretty tired of the same old mosalsalet, talk shows, and game shows, so please listen and shake it up a little. 1. Tabekh Teta Step aside, Miss Lebanon. This is the ultimate cooking show format. Gather 16 tetas from all around Lebanon, put them in a huge kitchen together, and watch them fight it out to be declared Lebanon’s Ultimate Teta. 2. Ta3 La Elak Keef La2ayta La Emak Why can there never be normal casual 16-24 episode sitcoms made in this region? It’s not like all our “serious” productions are making waves, loosen up a little. Title may need to be workshopped. 3. Farah This title is a pun, so it’s already genius. Now imagine this, we follow the main character, Farah, as she goes through her school days, then parties wildly in the night in search of more farah. Any similarities with existing shows on the HBO Network starring Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney among other is coincidental. 4. Makhfar 99 Some good ol copaganda, with a local twist. Get us right up in the daily operations of a Lebanese makhfar, a centre of pride, honor, and justice for the entire country. This one can at least be easily funded. 5. Mestashfa Byblos So you are an Arab TV executive, you look around the television landscape, do you not notice that the longest running and most successful shows in history are hospital shows? A little will they/won’t they, a few deaths a season, some commentary on the Lebanese medical system, sure fire hit (and it might finally dissuade some premeds). 6. Sherlock Homs Exiled from his hometown of Homs, Sherlock is Lebanon’s newest genius investigator. Solving crimes, locating ancient mysteries, defeating every enemy in his path. 10/10 7. Phoenicia Hotel A White Lotus-esque thriller of the highest quality or a period piece set in the supposed “golden” 60s. Literally would be printing money, let’s go. 8. Al Zaaiter The Sopranos but in a much more interesting place than New fucking Jersey. The Bekaa and its magnificent [redacted] need to be covered in depth. Just imagine the 3asha2er dynamics, high quality television. If any of these shows are made within the next 10 years, I expect a $4,000,000 cheque to arrive in the mail. Thank you.
