It looks like Pimp My Warforged is going to be a ratings winner. Because my wife and daughter watch What Not to Wear, I'm suddenly curious how that would turn out in a D&D world ...

@greywulf - I would so watch Pimp My Warforged. Demihuman vs. Wild - An adventurer shows how to survive in hostile environments. Sometimes very hostile environments... What Not To Wear - With special episodes dealing with dungeon crawls, planar travel, and environments from swamp to arctic tundra, this pair of Half-Elves can show you how to dress for (adventuring) success! After watching this show, you'll never wear pauldrons with your leather armor again! Two and a Half Men - A dastardly Human Warlock with a heart of gold, a squeaky-clean Human Paladin with Tourette's Syndrome, and an exasperated Half-Orc Barbarian find themselves on a dungeon crawl. Hilarity ensues. Gygaxian Idol - Gamers compete to see who can produce the most tangled yet intelligible and elegant-sounding prose. The blooper reels are always good for a laugh. (With apologies to Gary, who I understand can take a joke.)

No love for Dragonlance? Tika The Draconian Slayer--Spunky redhead Tika Wayland defends the town of Solace from hobgoblins, crazy wizards and, of course, Draconians with her squad of sidekicks. That's So Raistlin!--A wizard who can see the rot of the future tries to prevent his visions from coming to pass, usually with mixed results. A Disney Channel Comedy. Star Trek: Dragon Wars--The crew of the USS Gygax get stranded on an alien world in the Gamma Quadrant where magic is real, dragons exist, and brave heroes are needed to defend the weak. They must use their superior technology to defend the locals while trying to figure out a way to salvage their ship and return home.

This Old Dungeon – Bob Villain describe the changes that are being made to a rundown dungeon. The focus is on bringing modern 4th edition luxuries online without losing any of the 1st edition charm.

I think we've all overlooked the most obvious one... The Apprentice. Give a whole new meaning to "You're fired!"

HBO will air A Song of Ice and Fire, each book being one season. They've started filming already, I believe. That's due out to start in the fall of 2010. So, rejoice and prepare thyself. (I'm in a rush, so wasn't able to verify the date.)

I'd totally watch all of those! Here's a few more: The Illusionist An annoying Gnome helps the Inquisitors solve crimes using his amazing powers while searching for his family's killer on the side Drow's Anatomy Soppy drama about love and political intrigue in a Menzoberranzan Torture Chamber Discorporate Housewives Urban Ghosts fall in love, kill and get pregnant. Pimp My Warforged 'Nuff said. Faerun's Got Talent Peasants from all over the Realms try to impress Elminster and Simbul and Simon Cowell. Most fail
