As media consumers in our society, we are surrounded by many different groupings and gatherings of media. The main overall groups that many movies, types of music, and even television shows are divided into are called genres. In music, I can think of a few examples, such as punk, rock, emo, screamo, jazz, r&b, and the list goes on. These groupings provide an outline for artists to follow, and for consumers to go to if they like a specific type of music from any particular genre.
Although there are already many genres out there, I have come up of a brand new genre for a t.v. show using the concept of hybridity (or the combining of two or more genres to create a new genre.) The genres that I have put together are the genre of game shows, and the genre of sports television. The new t.v. show that will be based off of this genre will be called GameSports and will be unlike any other show that has ever aired on t.v.
On the show, four contestants will be randomly picked from an audience (a la The Price is Right) and will be seated inside of an actual NASCAR race car. Once inside the car, contestants will be connected to a virtual race course through a head set and goggles. The four drivers will race against each other, with the race being "broadcast" for the audience to watch. The drivers that finish will receive some nice prizes, like tickets to sporting events or sporting memorabilia. The driver that saw the checkered flag first will be taken to a locker room and will change into sporting type clothing. After this first "race" stage of the show is completed the show will have a commercial break, only with sporting, and other game show commercials.
