Idea for a Tv / Radio Show

Its called dinner conversations.
The show is about a dinner among friends, they meet once a month, and talk about life in the world for the past month. Its not just facts, its their reaction to those facts that happened. They might talk about world events, a event that happened in the country, something radical voiced by someone, a burning political issue or anything worth discussing.

How different would it be from all the talk shows and interviews being help everyday on tv, hmm well the selling point here is its opinions voiced by people who have nothing to gain, i mean not immediately. They are talking as if it were a general dinner conversation hapenning anywhere in our houses voicing opinions unabashed, not caring not fearing not worrying.

The trick is to have good characters who represent a wide spectrum of people, they should talk with emotion, there should be fights and agreements. They have their opinions right or wrong, like locke and demosthenes they will fight it out for the world to see and hear, it could be a radio show it could be a tv show.

maybe we can interlace it with the actual cooking and lives of the characters, which might bring light upon where they are coming from, but it shoudnt be a soap. It should be something parents would encourage kids to watch, I remember my parents used to encourage me to watch "the world this week" that was our one window to the world then.

characters
the voice of emotion, ready to scream and fight and will nto change opinions
the voice of reason, slow soft with intelligent answers and logic
the witty, always has a quick wit to counter anything, you wont know what hit you until later
the listner, listning, rarely talking, but listning, observing,
the argueer, arguing for the sake of arguing
the idealist
the realist
the fact machine,
the idiot
the resignator who gives up before every argument


am I contradicting myself by saying it needs to be normal people and then laying out characters. These are broad characters of people i see in normal life, everywhere. these are just the people whom you will find in any party discussion.
