The Hobbits:
Picture The Smurfs, replace the word Smurf with Hobbit and replace Gargamel with Sauron. Ian McKellen as the voice of Pappa Gandalf.
Yeah! We can work in some will-they-or-won’t-they sexual tension between Garofalo and Warfield ala “Moonlighting” before it started to suck. Maybe introduce a semi-regular character named Butch, played by Kathleen Turner, who has had affairs with both of them.
Who turns out to be a straight man in drag! (It’s funny when straight men are tricked into being attracted to gay transvestites isn’t it? Ha-ha, you thought you were kissing a girl.)
Every actor on the show is contractually obliged to play their character’s evil twin at least once per season.
And the evil twins always have goatees, including the women.
The Krofft brothers are brought in to supervise and manage all production costs. They are also contractually obligated to re-write no more, and no less, than 50% of dialogue in each episode.
In the season finale, Fanning could get pregnant by her brother. Since they have to hid this from their parents her and Garofalo conspire to hide the abortion.
But the important thing is that, deep down, they all really love one another.
The sound mixing is terrible, and every time they try to fix it they dub over the actors… with voices that sound nothing like them!
This is turning into the “Producers” of sitcoms - something so terrible in so many ways that the cumulative effect would be hilarious. I’d certainly watch it.
I don’t think Fanning would be able to go through with it. At the last minute she’d accuse some guy at school of having raped her, and, being as clueless as her father, not realize that the boy is gay.
…and the gay kid’s father, who can’t accept that his son is gay, is actually happy to hear that his son raped a girl because it means “he ain’t no fag after all!”

And if the non-evil twin already has a goatee, the evil twin has to have two.
Including the women.
Clerks, the animated series did this in episode 2, and it was hilarious!
Damn…I shouldn’t have spent all that time looking for good links and citations before checking to see if anyone else brought this up first!
“Why are we walking like this again?”
Abu Ghraib Reality show:
Contestants are divided into teams each of which is given an al-Qaeda operative to work on. The team which gets the most actionable intelligence by the end of the season wins a $50 million government contract.
What the contestants don’t know but the audience does is that the people aren’t al-Qaeda operatives at all but were just picked up at random from a bus stop in Qatar.
We call it CSI Miami and feature David Caruso in nearly every scene. Guest star Lee Majors, with his shirt off.
All the dialog is in Thermian, and the subtitles are in either binary code, or Klingon
