MY T.V. SHOW IDEAS




1. ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY (SITCOM #1)


The zany antics of two gay gentlemen living together in an expensive upscale home with 1 parent of each man living with them. The breadwinner of the two (the one who holds the job and works to support everyone) has a mother who suffers from dementia, adding the zany dimension to the show. The homemaker (the gentleman who stays home and acts as mother for everyone) has a father that lives with them. He is racist and homophobic with a tad bit of Alzheimer's setting in. Add one Hispanic live in maid who understands very little English and misinterprets everything and let the shit hit the fan.


2. THE REAL REAL WORLD (A TRUE REALITY SHOW)


Pick seven single people, semi-randomly, each one a different race ages 18 - 40 and put them in an environment where they have to pay rent, buy their own food, and hold their own jobs. If that doesn't create drama, then what will?


3. JUSTICE IS SERVED (RELIGIOUS PROGRAMMING GAME SHOW)


Take a bunch of rightwing religious zealots and let them question a new contestant every week. The ones that they have found to be guilty of crimes against God will be punished justly! Oh, think of the options!! Winners go onto finals where they get the chance to star on their own 1 hour religious show hosted by TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network). The game show will be hosted by Robert Tilton, Bob Larsen, and Pat Roberson who are dressed up as a Jester, the Mad Hatter, and Hitler! The set for the show is a diner designed by David Lynch and Tammy Fae Baker. Contestants sit in booths while the hosts conduct their interrogation from behind the counter. Free drinks are served to contestants throughout the show as well as a healthy portion of wrath and damnation to those unfortunate losers of the show who are revealed as heretics and sinners. 


3. LIFE WITH THE STUPIDS (SITCOM #2)


A middle class white male who comes from an average middle class home marries a petite Hispanic woman who comes from a poor dysfunctional family. They have two children who are separated in age by seven years. The oldest (the female) has just become a teenager and is the typical little princess who seems bothered by just about everything while the youngest (the boy) is a totally spastic kid who never stops talking or moving about. Add "the stupids!" They are the mothers family who constantly show up unexpectedly, uninvited. The father has family but they all live out of state and he rarely sees them. He can't relate to the stupids because despite his pleading that they speak to him in a language he can understand (English) they choose to speak Spanglish (a random mixture of both English and Spanish). Watch as the husband slowly goes insane from all the crazy antics that ensue! Wait a minute, that isn't a sitcom, that's my life!!!!
