sox4lifeinPA Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 So I've been thinking...in the light of the Writer's Strike: What happened to all the weird TV shows, like "I Dream of Genie," "Mr Ed," and "Bosum Buddies"? Those shows all hard extremely WEIRD premises. A guy marries a Genie, a Talking Horse, or two guys dress up like ladies to live in an apartment complex. You only see that kind of stuff on the cable channels now. Every show out there is the same concept: stupid guy (former stand up comic or comedian) marries hot wife (preferably a former super model or Melrose place actress) and you see how she undermines him and he doesn't treat her right....and THAT'S COMEDY! So...I want to hear everyone's ideas for their funniest, best, and most creative TV show. My show The Title: "Mike, John, Mike and Me" The premise: Every show has people with really different and cool names like "Chandler" or "Quinn"...but lets face it, every one living in the real world, has like 3-4 friends named Mike, John or James. This show is about my life dealing with the bland realities and commonalities that everyone faces, like having 12 friends with the same damn name. I want to hear some funny!

juddling Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 How about a show about me and my quirky friends. It'll be a show about nothing. It'll be great. Noone has seen anything like it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I didn't like Seinfeld. Self-absorped, unlikeable characters. sounds like Soxtalk at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I posted this idea in the catch all thread a while ago. I think it would be damned hilarious if there was a hidden camera show where people thought they were buying something off the internet, like from craigslist or something, or meeting someone from a dating website and when they walk in to the house Chris Hansen walks out like he does on too catch a predator and they have phony transcripts. Then they would need an a friend involved where they could then plant things in the car and supply pictures of the person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to have someone ready with new underwear for the person being pranked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) I know it is not a TV show, but I had an idea for a Hooters ad campaign to take it mainstream. It would be a whole play on the b.s. that some guys use saying they like going there for the wings. The original commercial would involve a father convincing his kids to ask mom if they can go to Hooters for dinner. Once it plays out, his wife gives him a fist on hip look of shame and he just raises his hands up and says "they love the wings!". You could run with this like Baker's Square's, "come for the food, stay for the pie". For hooters, "come for the breasts, stay for the wings" or vice versa.

SoxAce Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Anything with Jason getting regection after regection with women would be hilarious, sad, and cool cause you know, he's the creator. All you would in a TV show. Also seeing the true identity of Leroy Jenkins. Oh, oh, and you always have to get a shot at a dog with the shifty eyes seeing why Jason is getting regected so much.. Dun, dun, dun..... The creator of ST vs. His arch nemesis... A female companion. Will he seel the deal? Can he finally get laid? Could he get herpes? Will Leroy just charge in and get killed? Dun... dun.. dun... dun... nun... nunnnn....sfgtjhyjhfgjh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
