Leo Laporte on open micro-blogging

I wonder if Linux is "ready" for a TV documentary, kind of one single hour of hands-on showing people, on TV (maybe even real-time), how to convert the previous PC of the house into Linux and start browsing the WEB, write and print a letter and send E-mails.
It would probably attract enough audience to pay for itself, but I do not have a clue of this business...
