It\u2019ll look a lot like this except make more sense<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other day, I was watching television and realized I had nothing to watch. There was nothing new on Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple Itunes (or whatever it\u2019s called), Amazon Prime, HBO Go (or is it Now?), CBS All Access and Telemundo. Okay, I don\u2019t even know if I have Telemundo, but I bet if I did, there would be nothing new on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve reached that era of humanity in which I\u2019ve watched everything I can possibly imagine, leaving me staring at my television screen with nothing to do. Yes, a real first-world problem, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, rather than try to find another source of television, I\u2019ve decided it\u2019s time for me to just launch my own streaming service, something that caters specifically to Duane. I know the whole world has been waiting for this, as I\u2019ve queried my various stuffed animals, and they nodded emphatically (or they just stared back at me with blank faces, but I\u2019m pretty sure they were enthusiastic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019ve decided that in order to launch my new service, I need to feature premiere Duane-programming, which means 24\/7 Star Trek (but only the shows I haven\u2019t seen yet, which limits it to, um, none of them cause I\u2019ve seen them all, twice, plus that one where Kirk fights the lizard guy probably at least five times; I mean, quality is quality, right?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the shows are going to have to be really cool, so as I\u2019m a huge fan of twists and mysteries, we\u2019ll have to focus on a lot of those, except every now and then they\u2019ll have to not have a twist or mystery (being the twist and mystery itself). There should also be absolutely no sports whatsoever, because I don\u2019t like watching shows where people can do all sorts of athletic things I can\u2019t do, like breathe normally, or anything more strenuous than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also don\u2019t want romances because they\u2019re not believable. Never once in my life has a woman knocked on my door and then wanted to make mad passionate love to me. Nor go on a second date. Perhaps there\u2019s more than just a coincidence there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t like reality programming because I refuse to believe that 37 teenagers can live in the same house without an adult and somehow still manage to end up with beer in the refrigerator. And people laugh at me for liking science fiction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the kinds of shows we\u2019ll have to have will be the very high-tech science fiction shows with laser battles and really cool cars that talk to the actors, saying really funny things that people don\u2019t actually say in real life, because that would be too scripted. But they still have to sound all natural, like it\u2019s the right thing to happen at the most inopportune times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And ninjas. You kind of need ninjas in most shows. Which now that I think about it, perhaps romances would be okay, as long as it was a romance between two ninjas (who throw laser ninja stars at teenagers who live in apartments with no beer). I\u2019m not really sure where I\u2019m going with this one, but something tells me I\u2019m on a roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there\u2019s no way to really talk about this without mentioning price. I figure $3.00 a month is appropriate as long as the entire world seems interested in subscribing. Considering there\u2019s about 340 million people in the US alone (on any Tuesday, although Wednesdays and Fridays our numbers dwindle horribly), that would be (gets out calculator\u2026at least three dollars times 340 million, which my two years of second grade math instruction comes out to about at least a million dollars). So, yeah, this would be really profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was going to say that my streaming service should have hot cheerleaders and Scarlet Johanssen but that was much more relevant when I was a teenager, so let\u2019s just say that as long as we\u2019re meeting the ninja demographic, we\u2019re probably okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t figured out exactly when I\u2019m going to be launching this new streaming service, but it may have to wait until after I\u2019m finished watching the latest season of The Expanse, on Amazon Prime. Or was it on Starz? One of these days I\u2019m going to have to figure out where my stuffed animals have hidden the remote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
