I was thinking about one where these three brat kids don’t have a dad because he’s in the clink, so they meet this pedo-bear lookin’ Zach Galifinakis/Jack Black- hybrid slacker and promise to, I don’t know, get him high on Spice if he’ll just be legally recognized as their dad so they can get enrolled into Boy Scout Troop. Highjinks and foofaraw will ensue, as will abject hilarity, when the boys realize that not only is their adopted ersatz-pa a pushover-douche, but is COMPLETELY incapable of wrangling their prepubescent shenanigoings-on! They’ll have a wily dog, maybe a haughty labradoodle, who we’ll superstuff with anthropomorphism and catchphrase and the laugh track will be replete with “hardy-hars” and wink-winkingly loud sighs that attempt to convey to the viewer that “yeah, we all know the show sucks, but that’s what makes it FREAKIN HILARIOUS”! Oh, the dizzying joys of sitcomedy!
That’s it! Pitch it. I’m in. Let’s do lunch.
Can’t you just see all those Redwhiteblue-flyin’ freedom lovers lovin’ the shit out of this sitcom? LET"S DO THIS AMERICA!!!1
The Pointy-Headed Liberal Show
Each week, somebody with a degree from an East-coast college gets put in his place by someone with homsespun real-American wisdom.
I don’t think even devout Palin-supporters will tune in and watch, given how their forebears failed to make The Half-Hour News Hour a success, but I can picture Fox giving it a try.
I believe you’re referring to the short-lived Sons of Tucson, may it rest in peace. I admit, I watched it, but only out of loyalty to my city, I tell you! I did not enjoy it! Okay, I may have laughed once or twice, maybe a snicker here and there. But it wasn’t much, and I didn’t mean it! I swear!
It’s not just Fox, pal, see:* Two and a Half Men*.
This is a terrible idea. FOX will find this thread, you know.
As you pitched this concept I could not help but visualize Huey, Dewey and Louie with their ‘Unca’ Donald. Obviously this is concept will fly.
and we’ll all be filthy rich and richly ridiculous. Playboy Mansion here we come!
We can call it “Brotherly Love” and have it set in Philadelphia. Or better yet, King of Prussia.
I like your style, Elkers.
Pilot: Main character, Garry, a comedian, gets into a car wreck with a guy that has no insurance and no money. Garry sues the guy, wins, and since guy has no money, no insurance, judge assigns the poor sap as Garry’s valet.
We can call it Garry.
The Predators
The hilarious hijinks of a family of mutants who have to eat human flesh to survive. The pilot episode revolves around Dad’s boss coming over for dinner. The question isn’t “What’s on the menu?” but “Who’s on the menu?” Ha ha ha … .
The Tax Mon
Abe Vigoda wears dreadlocks, speaks with a Jamaican accent and reads aloud from the Tax Code. During Sweeps, he reads Revenue Rulings and selected parts of the Regulations.
“…yeah, but the horse only speaks Italian!”
Are You My Daddy?
Thirteen-year-old Becca has always wished that her mom would tell her who her father was, but Becca was conceived during her mom’s last lost weekend, so she couldn’t tell her, even if she wanted to.
When Mom is out with the latest in a series of boyfriends who highlight her questionable taste, Becca rummages through Mom’s stuff and finds a photograph: it’s dated roughly nine and a half months before Becca’s birth, and shows her mom and ten men, but only lists their first names and last initials. Since Becca is a computer wiz, she’s soon able to deduce the idenity of the first couple of men, and runs away to crashland in their lives while she tries to find out who her real dad is.
Is it the mormon minister from Utah? The defense lawyer in Chicago? The used cars sales man in Texas? The janitor in Georgia? The taxidermist from Tennessee? The man wanted in both Florida and Delware for bigamy? Tune in to FOX and find out!

Stuntmen On Vacation
This reality show follows a cadre of Hollywood Stuntmen on a roadtrip. They stop at various vacation spots along the way and perform stunts to entertain/horrify unsuspecting tourists.
I have a great idea for a FOX sitcom.
It’s called … The Aristocrats!
Caribou 90210
Sarah Palin’s extended family moves south and experiences a lot of social disorientation as their Alaskan ways clash with their new Beverly Hills neighbors and classmates. Upcoming episodes include:
“I Can’t Bring My Gun in Where?” - *Looking for beef jerky while preparing for hunting season, Sarah’s son Track is arrested on Rodeo drive by the Liberal Mafia for openly carrying a loaded shotgun without a “so-called” permit. *
“First Day of School” - Bristol Palin confronts new challenges on her first day at Beverly Hills High as she finds out they don’t have free in-school daycare services like they did in Alaska. Meanwhile, Willow Palin meets a new friend… and a new bully.
“Hopey-Changey” - A Very Special Episode: the Palin family sits down to figure their taxes and begins to seriously worry about their future. Featuring a cameo by Glenn Beck, the Obamaizationalization of America is discussed… loudly.
Sadly, there will be no fourth show as the Palin’s quit.
Frankenstein
After a tragic accident which took his life, the head of Barney Frank is attached to a reanimated corpse that displays one key personality difference… he’s now a Republican! Meredith Baxter Burney co-stars in this high-concept RomCom.
