Looking for a TV show I had seen around 7 years ago.

It's a show in which a family comes up to the TV Host and tells them that their son is very lazy and they wish to fix it.

So the TV crew set up this enormous TV set, and fool the victim into thinking that the world is hit by a zombie virus and everyone he knows is gone. He even meets other people (TV crew) who rescue him. This prank goes on for days, and the victim is under constant surveillance.

I remember just one episode of the show. I'm sure there are other themes too.

    This doesn't seem to be on-topic given it's not actually about science fiction except in a sort of meta way. There may be science fictional details, if there are I suggest you include them

  • There was also a spoof big brother series 'Dead Set' which was a big brother/Zombie apocalypse crossover.
