Old People Say the Darndest Things

I think I'm going to start producing a new television show called "Old People Say the Darndest Things." Obviously, it will be the same type of show as Bill Cosby's creation that bore close to the same name, but with one key difference. As you might have guessed, the people saying the darndest things will not be kids, but old people (or grandparents, if the networks think "old people" might be offensive.) The host wouldn't quite ask pointed questions as much as he would gently guide the old people in their storytelling. My grandma would be the first guest, as she has perfected the art of saying the darndest things (most of the time without even knowing it). Here are a few examples:

*"Is Christopher turning Jewish? I remember the Jewish family I used to work for. There were five children. I'll always remember their names. There was Sidney, Harvey, Harry...and I don't remember the rest."

*Grandma: Caity, you have a good singing voice.

Me: No, Grandma, I really don't.

Grandma: Sure, you do. You're just being down on yourself. I bet Jonathan has a good voice, too. It probably runs in the family. You probably all have good voices....well, except Christopher.

*"I'm on lots of medications." She begins to list them...
"And I take cubadin. That's rat poison!"

As you can see, if you can get them going, you never know what's going to come out of their mouths next. Since there is no shame in the television world of completely ripping off other networks' programming concepts (think of the boom of home-makeover shows after Trading Spaces emerged), I really think this show could work...or at least last longer than ABC's "Daybreak," right?
