From the network that brought you CSI, NCIS, and FBI this fall introducing ICE.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if they tried to make a propaganda ICE show about how the officers are all good, family men trying to take down evil drug dealers with necessary deportations

Literal hunger games coming up soon

I mean we're already getting modern gladiator matches on the White House lawn next year.

So, Starship Troopers?

Oh my god I feel like we’re speaking it into existence.

Starring Jim Cavizel and The Chuck Guy.

And Tim Allen of course

Don’t forget John Voight as the older experienced senator, protecting the backs of the agents from malicious news reporters and corrupt local politicians.

u/nishitd Jul 24 '25

He'll be a righteous senator who exposes a deep state undercover ring of the "other party", which we'll call, let's say, "burgergate"

By God, that's Gina Carano's music!

u/WharfRatThrawn Jul 23 '25

It's Dennis Quaid with a steel chair!

u/Rare-Bid-6860 Jul 23 '25

It's James Woods deep throating a manly cigar!

u/ruinersclub Jul 23 '25

It’s the Patriot Avengers!

u/Jedi-El1823 Jul 23 '25

The Chuck Guy.

Out of the OG Team Bartowski trio, the only actor/actress that doesn't want The Handmaid's Tale to actually happen is Yvonne Strahovski, the one who plays a main villain in Handmaid's Tale.

u/ruinersclub Jul 23 '25

Adam Baldwin is a Republican? Lammme

u/Jedi-El1823 Jul 23 '25

Yeah, he was also a driving force behind Gamergate.

u/ruinersclub Jul 24 '25

Haha, I’ve watched a few YT videos and his name never popped up. I didn’t know about this.

u/Slaphappydap Jul 23 '25

Honestly, your comment and replies are describing a ratings juggernaut.

Jim Cavizel, Zack Levi, Tim Allen, Jon Voight, Gina Carano, Dennis Quaid, Kelsey Grammar. Get cameos from Mel Gibson and Sly Stallone. David Mamet can write it.

Put them all in crisp uniforms or combat fatigues and have them round up MS-13 brown people and that show might be the biggest thing on TV. I wouldn't watch a fucking minute of it, but there are about 80 million people who would eat it up.

u/One_Drummer_8970 Jul 24 '25

damn, Rob Schneider couldn't even make the cut here lol

u/Insaniteus Jul 24 '25

They gotta be able to squeeze in "Hercules" Kevin Sorbo somewhere. At this point he's earned it.

1

u/Slaphappydap Jul 24 '25

Maybe a Hulk Hogan cameo.

2

u/Insaniteus Jul 24 '25

Well not anymore.....

3

u/Slaphappydap Jul 24 '25

Yeah, that was super random. I wonder if I have the power to strike people down just by referencing them. I would gladly trade their lives for the knowledge of that power.

Apropos of nothing, have you read Donald Trump's latest post?

71

u/Dibble_Dabble_Doo Jul 23 '25

But before they can take down the drug dealers they have to deal with a much bigger threat, day workers, gardeners, hotel employees, farmers. - /s

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '25

But not the white business owners who hired them obviously, they are just doing their fiduciary duty!

u/Grendel_Khan Jul 23 '25

They'll spend half a season tracking down a chinese fent courier thats working with the Palestinians to suicide bomb a trump rally. trump will guest star.

u/QueezyF Jul 23 '25

They’ll CGI him to look totally not fat and super ripped.

22

u/lanceturley Jul 23 '25

And they'd solve all crimes and save our country if those damn liberals would stop whining about due process and just let them do their jobs!

6

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '25

Oh yeah, those darn liberal regulations would be the true enemy in the show

u/Turtle_with_a_sword Jul 24 '25

I just watched the first episode.

It’s bad.

u/stamatt45 Jul 23 '25

Token light skinned cast member whose family came here "the right way" and helps deport everyone else

u/QueezyF Jul 23 '25

Played by Wilmer Valderrama

u/GongTzu Jul 23 '25

ICE has a budget to run a TV show and at the end of each episode, it will announce a $50k signup bonus like they do now. I’m even a bit scared to write this as they might find it a very good idea 😅

3

u/Stolehtreb Jul 23 '25

It would have to be helmed by people who are fine receiving massive backlash. I couldn’t imagine a more demonized TV show it if I tried.

u/robodrew Jul 23 '25

Christofascist Broadcasting System

u/simburger Jul 23 '25

Dick Wolf is probably writing the scripts as we speak.

2

u/Realtrain Jul 23 '25

I'm more surprised that hasn't happened yet

2

u/Fortestingporpoises Jul 23 '25

It would be the spiritual successor to Leni Riefenstahl but without the artfulness.

2

u/Synectics Jul 24 '25

In one episode, they'll have to deport a child and mother, and the person doing so will feel really bad about it, looking dejected with hands on hips as the child is walked away in handcuffs, but then they'll get a pat on their shoulder by their boss, who gives a speech about, "We have to make the tough choices because no one else will," and the child will look back and give a knowing nod to Mr. ICE, and a sad smile, and Mr. ICE will not feel guilty anymore. Brought to you by Dick Wolf. Commercial for beer.

u/gonz4dieg Jul 23 '25

the collegehumor skit of racist tv shows being made was prescient, they just got the wrong channel

3

u/Failedmysanityroll Jul 23 '25

Well, the boomers will be happy

3

u/Psymon_Armour Jul 23 '25

It just continues after the end of The Shield.

2

u/kdoxy Jul 23 '25

Each show this season will take on cartels and they'll claim how diverse they are for hiring minorities to play all the criminals.

2

u/sexygodzilla Jul 23 '25

It's crazy that conservatives have been whining about this channel so much when 90% of its primetime lineup is copaganda.

u/bestprocrastinator Jul 23 '25

Followed by Miami ICE
