Undercover Boss

From the few episodes I've watched, Undercover Boss sticks pretty closely to a formula wieach th episode: out-of-touch corporate bigwig/owner anonymously slips into the lowest ranks of his own company to work amongst his minions, during which he discovers several of them busting their asses working, and taking an almost laughably absurd amount of pride in their minimum wage, no-hope-of-rising-high-in-the-ranks job. There's always some kid working 7 days a week putting himself through law school and medical school and clown college while raising his 17 siblings since their parents got eaten alive by wolves, some woman who has AIDS mixed with the Ebola virus, leukemia, and has lost three limbs but can't afford to go to the doctor, but still takes great pride in showing up every day to snake the toilet, and then the warehouse foreman who has 7 kids but can never go to their Little League games because he's so dedicated to the warehouse, which needs him all the time, and oh, whaddya know, they got no Little League because the town can't afford to keep the field.

Overwhelmed by the stories of his minions, at the end of the show the owner reveals who he is and, choking back tears, gives a scholarship to the kid going to school and declares the company will give a yearly scholarship in the kid's name, as well as introducing free daycare so the company can take care of the siblings while he goes to school. Now, really letting the waterworks flow, he gives a $400K check to the sick woman for her healthcare and demands she stay for treatment, that her job will be there when she gets back, and they're naming a wing of the local hospital after her.  Finally, he's asked the foreman to meet him at the Little League ballfield; the foreman is baffled by this until he shows up and there's the greatest, flashiest Little League park in the world, and the owner falls to the ground heaving with sobs when the foreman's seven kids come running up in their PIZZA HUT uniforms hugging the foreman, who is then told he has the summer off, paid, to be with his kids.  All of this because the owner is blown away by their pride and dedication to their jobs.

I'd like to do the show a different way. I'd like to drop in as the owner and be completely unimpressed by my workers - this one's a lazy ass, this one's an idiot, and this one needs to shut up about all her kids cause I don't wanna fucking hear about it. During the big finale I invite each one in so I can fire them in front of their families, and I won't be satisfied until I've made each each of them cry. My encore will be announcing that I'm replacing all my dumbass, worthless employees with monkeys and puppies, whom I unleash from a large crate to the sounds of Flashdance (What a Feeling), and over the end credits they spin around in circles and mayhem and flying feces.
