I would like to see an episode on immigrant populations living in the States. The kinds of jobs that they take on and what it is like to be a day laborer.

Let's see... how about a day in the life of a park ranger at someplace like Yellowstone - dealing with the tourists, etc.

Thru hikers on the AT? Granted, one wouldn't expect Lawrence to do the whole AT, but could he keep up for a day?

Surfers on the north shore of Oahu (at the Bonzai Pipeline) in winter?

Winter in Alaska?

Rural life in ND?

Maine fishermen or lobstermen?

Base jumpers off the Snake River Bridge?

Artisans at Key West?

BBQ makers pig-picking in Eastern NC (or anywhere else that has distinctive BBQ).

Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Fl.

Apple Festivals in many states.

Following some dedicated geocachers.

Calaveras Frog Jumping Competition in CA.

Marbles Championship in NJ.

Rock climbing El Capitan in Yosemite.

Building/redoing the Corn Palace in SD.

Those are a few off the top of my head first thing in the morning... might hop on to come up with some others at another time. There are so many options out there...

The Amish - horse and buggy people ...let Lawrence go living in the past. Converse with a society of people who are quite picky about what modern conceniences, their convictions will allow. eg see also Mennoite, Pennsylvania Dutch.

The Amish don't like to be photographed, so I seriously doubt they'd agree to participate in this type of show...

However, you could tweak it a little and have Lawrence live in a re-creation city/site like Williamsburg, VA or Plymouth, MA. It's not quite the same, but it would still be fun to watch.
