What types of "slow TV" would you either watch or imagine would be successful, especially in the US?
Twice in the 90s, I've watched 8+ consecutive hours of The Weather Channel. No hurricanes or anything special; just generic @$$ weather. I watched for so long, I saw the maps and the forecast change before my eyes.

"People Getting Punched in the Face Just Before Eating." This was an SNL digital short, but It was funny. I truly believe Americans would watch it if it was a real show.0
