One of the gay couples seeking to adopt a child has to be interracial and at least one of them an immigrant who makes amusing errors in the English language. I’m thinking a Cambodian guy and an American black guy. Here’s the hook: the Cambodian guy is a lot smaller than the black guy, but he is dominant in the relationship. They can feature in a “very special episode” where Garofalo and Warfield think the Cambodian guy is going all Ike Turner on the black guy. Of course, it’ll all be a humorous misunderstanding because the black guy really did run into a door knob! Hugs all around at the end (except between Garofalo and Warfield).
And each episode has a different guest director who has free rein to do whatever sort of story they want, so long as the last line said is “The Aristrocrats!”
And then two time travelers (who are two different versions of Mom’s 13th baby from competing alternate futures) show up, each trying to make his/her/it’s version of history come true.
Periodically, the action is inexplicably interrupted by C-Span footage of congresspersons reading aloud entire bills to an otherwise empty chamber. This is regarded as avant-garde by the show’s producer.
That’s also why the name of the show is “To Be Announced.”
Kristen Wiig in Gilly: the Series, a one hour sitcom.
No, you cut to some guy with an amused look on his face who says “Oh, that Tchaikovsky!!!” followed by some insincere chuckling. At least every other episode, Tchaikovsky notices and threatens this man.
On one episode of Just Scrapping By, Fanning’s next younger sister (played by her real life sister Ella) is conflicted because her economics teacher has gotten Freakenomics past the fundie school board, and in class learns that there’s a higher rate of abortion amongst minorities than whites. Now lil sis is conflicted: what if she discourages those people from aborting babies, ensuring that whites will soon become the minorities, just like Dad’s favorite talking heads say will happen? Her older brother (the one sleeping with the older Fanning) gets into a fight at school too when he accuses liberal pro-choice students of secretly targeting minorities for genocide, much like the girl he’d rather sleep with if only she wasn’t black and unacceptable to bring home to mom.
Glenn Beck to have a blink and you’ll miss him cameo.
45 mins of which is just Will Forte saying “Gilly!, Gil-ly, Gilly?.. etc.”
Once again, we’re looking for a BAD show!
No, if the non-evil twin already has a goatee, the evil twin has to have one goatee on the face, and another, you know … down there!
Ok, on the abortion clinic story, had a flash … picture this: the abortion protesters sneak an adorable moppet into the clinic whose mission is to go to all the patients and say, “Wouldn’t you like to have a cute kid … just like me?” and then turn on the Adorable. But the clinic catches him because he’s too young and too adorable to know what he’s doing and goes to women there for breast cancer screenings and does his shtick. Garafolo and Warfield are outraged of course, but he’s just so adorable they decide to let him stick around. He decides the abortion clinic folks are just OK and even helps defend it from the fundies, with the help of his EVEN MORE ADORABLE robot dog!
Which is secretly programmed to assassinate the clinic workers- will it happen this episode??? Stay tuned!
In a season ending cliffhanger episode, Butch throws hirself on the robot dog as it is about to explode during a staff meeting at the Just Scrapin’ By clinic. As the season ends, the viewers are left wondering about everybody’s fate. In the following season opener, we find that Butch did, in fact, save the staff from being killed in the explosion. Tragically, hir penis and testicles were completely obliterated by the blast. Butch now has a continuing plotline to explore whether s/he will opt for reconstructive surgery or gender reassignment surgery. All this complicated by hir lingering feelings for both Garofalo and Warfield.
Don’t forget the stereotypical large, loud, and sassy receptionist at the clinic. Maybe that’s how we get Fran Drescher in the show. She laughs at everything someone says, even if she’s not in the room.
And all the actors are felines, so the last line is “Aristocats!”
Perusing the tv listings last night, I think we might be over-thinking this - to make the worst TV show possible, all you have to do is mash-up Nancy Grace and Toddlers and Tiaras. That oughta do it.
You’re just looking for an excuse to do a cameo, Musicat.
This one is killer: one of the characters from Just Scrapin’ By should have extended fantasy sequences that are done in claymation. These sequences should invariably be of psychotic levels of violence that contrasts jarringly with the humorous tone of the rest of the show.
The person having the violent fantasy sequences should be the kindest, gentlest of the fundamentalist picketers, of course.
