And when one of the Navy Seals discovers he was abused as a child by the rancher who owned the cows, would that make it a “Very Special Opsisode”? 
It’s bad that I think this is a good idea and would watch this, isn’t it?
every idea i come up with would probably get a following and then immediately be cancelled.
Then it must be right down their alley. Send them a script!
At the end of every episode, 'Dolph’s latest zany scheme has failed, and they’re back in the coffeehouse nursing their wounds, and 'Dolph says his tagline “Today, Germany, tomorrow - The World”.
I would totally watch this. I feel bad for saying it, but it’s true.
Animate this and have Patrick Warburton be the voice of the head Mooslim terrorist and I would so buy this on DVD.
A bunch of high-school science nerds pull some geeky prank that goes horribly wrong, ruin their chances to get into MIT, have to settle for some agricultural college. Hilarity ensues, surrounded as they are by rednecks, homespun wisdom, and astonishingly beautiful milk-fed blondes in Daisy Duke cutoffs.
There was once a pilot filmed for the BBC with Hitler and Eva Braun as a wacky sitcom couple, doing a sort of Ricky and Lucy schtick. I wish I could remember more details. I heard about it on a BBC radio show about failed pilots. It sounded great.
I once dreamed that the Nazis were trying to steal David Hasslehoff’s hair. Somehow it became a matter of national security with men in black assigned to protecting his hair. Perhaps the sitcom could reflect the crazy things David Hasselhoff’s hair does and how the guards protect it. Would that work?
ETA: Damn, ninja’d with the same link!
Heil Honey I’m Home!. You can see the pilot on Youtube here.
After the Chevy Chase late-night show fiasco (where Fox spent so much money on the set and such and then cancelled it) - I wanted to pitch MY late night talk show.
It would be a really cheap set - like a used desk from Goodwill and some guest chairs that look like they came from Sandford & Son. The house band would be some garage band that was trying out - or some whacky group like a bunch of kazoo-playing grannies or some elementary school kids in first-year band. A different band each week and a different reason why the band from the week before left . . .
The guests would not be stars from hit movies - they would be the extras from hit movies or random commercials. We’d show their clip and then do the “Where’s Waldo” of them - circle them or something - and then interview them about what it was really like to be on set and what the stars were really like. Maybe show clips of other commercials they were in - and stuff.
Just bizarre commentary.
And each week, if Fox hadn’t cancelled us yet - we’d have one new piece of set dressing that we were able to buy. “This week - we were able to put lightbulbs in the green room!!” and show that.
Silly, I know . . .
I think he needs a grumpy-old neighbor that the Beavers keep eating away at his prized trees (could be different ones every week) and his sweet as pie wife with a heart of gold. Somehow they just make it work.
Crossing Over…the Border
A reality show where they start out with 50 illegal immigrants from Mexico and eliminate them until they get down to 10. Each week, they have to go through a different challenge, like swimming across a river with only the clothes on your back, or faking your way into getting a Driver’s License, or selling 100 oranges in front of the freeway off-ramp. At the end of the elimination round, they take the remaining 10 and set them loose on the Arizona border. First one to make it across to the safehouse without being caught gets citizenship.
I would watch this, too. It’s a good thing I don’t have a TV.
Actually, no. 
Throw some decent comedy bits in there and that sounds like a pretty good show.
:smack:
As the original poster, I applaud each and everyone of you for your creative, nay, brilliant ideas. I watched that movie Food, Inc. the other day and I was particularly struck by the part where they were talking about how people eat processed, trans fat-ridden fast food largely because it is so cheap due to overly-subsidized corn and corn products and thus, it’s omnipresent and available for consumption 24/7. Shitty TV is similar to fast food in that way; people just watch shitty shows because that’s what’s on TV. You people have given me hope, though. I read your show ideas and suddenly the possibility of a world in which I am able to watch Hitler and Eva Braun in a sitcom isn’t too far off. Suddenly, in my mind, there exists hit shows called “Crossing Over…The Border” and “Scrotes and Goats” and one wherein black girls and beavers coexist hilariously. If only FOX execs read this thread! I wish I wish I wish!
Ring Around the Rosies
Rosie O’Donnell and Rosanne Barr are a married lesbian couple, each with their own talk radio show. One show conservative, one liberal. Throw in assorted disfunctional kids and parents.
Ok, if it ever gets made you can feel free to sue me.
