I'm giving this vision away for free. Make a reality show that has one prerequisite. Age - senior citizens only. Flipping conventional wisdom and formula, it's only a matter of time before television fills gaping voids with elderly mischief.

Reasons for a 'Real World: Senior Citizens'.
1. Demographics
-the percentage of retired television watching olds is shrinking but always will be greater than average.
-who watches daytime television? olds, little children. All of which either are an old, are in the company of an old, or would rather be with an old.
-who watches or watched The Real World? 16 to 35 yr olds. They'll be olds soon enough, are unemployed, or will be laid off. What will they want to do? I bet watch olds complain, dance, and whisper olds speak.
2. The Movements Unite
Change has come. Tired of their kidney stones, McCain's loss, a smokin' Muslim runnin' the country, all while pensions and social security are soaking into Nurse Brit's foamy sponge of phony love. Olds are pissed off, worried, and unable to express their discontent publicly, until now. By funneling unpredictable energy, capturing illogical enthusiasm, dementia, and ultimate death, it would captivate the world.

3. Who hates today's Real World? Everyone. There are enough shows casting really, really, good looking ladies and enormous douchies, especially on 'music' television. Remember when a member's fatal illness and death led to orgies between Nielsen and MTV? Genius! In any episode a cast member might for real die.
4. Location
Anywhere. Forcing seven 65 year-old strangers to live together is enough. Any city (one less traveled, like Cleveland?). Use an old Real World apartment, save money.
There's a web of ensuing heartbreak, stench, drug addiction, and charm in a group of olds. Plus, most olds don't work, but they're always lured into menial labor and mundane jobs; Wal-Mart. Imagine if the olds were given access to Bon Jovi's marketing campaign, or served Manhattans at a chic, hipster bar. Give 'em a chance reality world, for their sake of humanity.
