Oh, you bastard!
So glad I was not drinking coffee…
Dean Stockwell sings “These Dreams” for the theme song!
One of the actors is running for political office in real life, so all the other networks have to give equal time, and so shows of the exact same quality are running on every other channel simultaneously.
Use music and effects lifted from other shows:
Opening Theme (Play the full 2:41 score while scrolling opening credits very slowly)
Fight Scene Sound and Graphic Effects
Closing Theme (Replace graphic with tight shot of the cast’s bare feet)
What toys really do when their owners aren’t looking: not moving; in a drawer; in the dark. One episode to feature an outdoor location when the little boy accidentally leaves Rusty the Rabbit at the airport. Will Rusty and Timmy be reunited? No.
One of the characters could be a reality show producer. His feature episodes would have a subject that clunkily pounded a moral message home through the medium of the show within the show. eg a show following a gravedigger would reveal that necrophilia is bad, one about a really bad racehorse trainer would awkwardly cover what goes on in the knacker’s yard.
This would culminate in a clips show about a reality show following a reality show producer that we’ve really gotten to know throughout the series.
Is this a good place to pitch “Mohammed and the Professor” again?
In order to not offend the Muslim viewers, Mohammed is never see on screen but is portrayed by an off-screen voice. With a music-hall Pakistani accent.
Urkel and Screech are the new Odd Couple.
A CGI Gollum constantly hectors a seemingly normal man as he goes through his day.
Hold the phone - I’m thinking “Mohammed and The Man”, a “Chico and the Man” remake featuring the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) who never comes out of the van.
Or we could just do a live action version of this.
Jar-Jar Binks. Celebrating “Life Day.” In the format of the series “24.”
Let’s make sure everyone involved is properly motivated.
The show’s creator believes his job is not just to entertain but to discuss Really Important Issues in every episode.
The director is getting her first shot at a regular job, but she just graduated from film school and can’t wait to use all the avant-garde techniques she learned.
The writers share the creator’s passion to discuss Really Important Issues, and believe that writing sequential monologues for each character is the best way to do it.
The actors really don’t like doing TV, and don’t especially like people who watch TV for entertainment. In fact, they’re all doing it just for the paycheck and would rather be doing experimental theater in front of a college audience.
At the end of my horrible show, the main character will wake up and say, “Oh, it was all a dream”. For every single freaking episode.
Unfortunately, the network is under the impression that they’re producing a by the numbers musical sitcom for tweens, and regularly requests that they recut anything not sufficiently “zany”.
Tons of 18th century French poetry jokes followed by a Fran Drescher laugh track.
Ha! Will Bea Arthur sing something? I suggest she covers the White Stripes’ “Icky Thump” 'cause, why not? How much cocaine were those people on?
Right on, Kunilou I nominate Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) and Aaron Sorkin (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) to co-direct. Script by Diablo Cody (Juno).
I like Aronofsky’s The Wrestler.
It’s shot with a single camera in fixed position.
Let’s all not forget another avenue of motivation: Pot. As used by the production staff, and by the target audience. Combined with a mild sense of contempt by the production staff for said audience, and a heavy sense of contempt for periphery audience members who don’t like their work.
It’s been indicated to work in tests. 
Lars von Trier’s Playhouse. The King of Cartoonss only shows cartoons based off of Lars von Trier’s sketches and scored with the screams of children from the last episode. Each episode ends with the credits rolling over clips from Antichrist set to jaunty music.
Tchaikovsky da nut cracka. That actually made me laugh- which means it’s too good for this show. 
Maybe Doug Winger could do the drawing?
One of the stars should be a chimpanzee.
