How about a modern retelling of Fantastic Voyage, where the heros are shrunk down to a microscopic level and must fight against a deadly disease inside someone’s body. The crew would use a microscopic submarine/spaceship-type vehicle to explore the body, going in through the infected person’s mouth and out through his or her anus. And that way, somewhere around midway through season 3, the critics could say the show was literally going to sh|t.
Dane, that show about “a salon full of colorful stylists, the older gay salon owner, the new sassy apprentice sweeping the floors, the bizarre clientele, and the mishap hairdos they cut” already exists. It’s called BLOW OUT.
Ew. Ouch.
How about an “office space”-esque little dittie? Maybe have someone like Jason Schwartzman working in a Phone Farm (also the name of the show), dealing with kookie co workers as well as kookie calls from kookie customers.
A California liberal family moves to Red State Utah and tries to fit in with a Fox News Watchin’, polygamy lovin’, Bible thumpin’ community.
“Serenity Now!”
Jason Alexander plays Jason Alexander as he tries to find a successful post-Seinfeld project. Jason tries a variety of strange and interesting jobs as he does whatever he can to make the rent and climb his way back to the top.
THE DEPARTMENT. The story of a large finance company’s collection department in a major city. Crazy stories of deadbeats trying to avoid the collectors, both by phone and by foot. 20 employees coming and going through a revolving door. Intense competitors to lazy spoiled workers, backbiting, ladder climbing. 3 Superviors trying to get traction in business. Star many young 20 somethings who look fresh out of college, and of course will go on to stardom. Think Dilbert repossessing cars.
RETAIL -
Four friends work various dead end jobs in the same mall. Quirky customers, power tripping managers and all manner of kooky adevntures ensue. They meet up in the food court daily to mull over their quirky lives.
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. A family situation-comedy which revolves around two middle-aged parents (Joe and Debbie) trying to maintain there cool juggling work and raising two boys, (fiesty pre-teen Brian) and (teenage, hormone crazed Jamal). But things get even more complicated when their eldest child, 25 year-old, financially/relationship challenged Renee unexpectantly moves back home.
A situation comedy of a mid 40’s couple whose kids are early 20’s and are realizing the culture shock or the real world. The parents are mid line baby boomers did well, after a tough self employed beginning 25 yrs ago and the kids never really had to work that hard. But now they are realizing that the ketchup just doesn’t show up nor does the soap, salt & pepper or gas for the car. One has moved out w/ her boyfriend, (who the pop dislikes) from big house and acreage to a second floor condo. The younger son ( volunteer fireman) butts head w/ the father and if finding his own way but in and out of the graces of the pop who loves him anyway
For the MINOR ADJUSTMENTS cast, I would have Charles S. Dutton play the dad (Joe Anderson). He owns the family construction company. And Debbie Allen will play the mother (Debbie Anderson). She hosts her own radio talk show. Regina Hall from the “Scary Movie” franchise will play the oldest daughter (Renee Anderson). Finally, there will be an aunt, (Wanda Sykes) who plays Debbie’s sister that’s always giving Debbie and Joe criticism for the way they raise their kids.
The Raman Gill Show
The show is a rib tickling comedy about a punjabi family-who knows english, but mainly about the character Raman Gill and how he goes through life with a strict but cool at times dad, a very suspicious of her kids mom, and loudmouth also bossy sister, an arch enemy of a brother and an uncle who isnt very well known to the language english. Raman has two friends,also a girl who he really likes, and is his neghbour and she hardly notices him at all.
try an annimated series which are big now thanks to family guy. make the dad a worse person than homer and have him be a real sleezebag and cheat on his wife and get hookers and drugs and stuff like that. it will be real cutting edge and will hopefully be better than father of the pride.
• A southern, ambitious, young lady moves to an authentic, small, culture enriched Tuscan village to pursue a life-long dream of becoming a famous artist. The tone will be a light-hearted version of Northern Exposure with Bridget Jones humor. Juliette: Wears a fashionable, Italian-designer hat everyday; Was previously a lawyer for 4 years in New Orleans; loves Lucille Ball.
I have the critique of a sitcom about temporary lawyers, their lives, struggles and dreams. Wide audience appeal.
Its a show about nothing like Seinfeld but it has to do with two men in their early 20′s or wut ever age who want to meet their favorite comedian Jerry Seinfeld and they search all over JFK, New York to find him and they soon bump into Elaines’s old boyfriend Puddy and meet many people that Jerry and his friends met on the show. They later find the men that were going to give George and Jerry the pilot deal and they try to ask them if they would like to make it with Jerry again if not with them. After they listen to more and more from the people that had their lives ruined they need to do on their way to find Jerry Seinfeld.
