The world’s kindest, but most inept social worker keeps coming up with bizarre plans to help her clients, always responding to each outlandish idea with the show’s signature line. Of course, the wacky schemes somehow work, and the caseworker manages to wheedle her clients into better living accommodations, permanent jobs, etc.

I’m Not That Guy
Regular guy Rock Middlebaum is caught up at the wrong place at the wrong time when terrorists attempt to steal an experimental chemical at the lab he works at. A gunfight with the feds ensues and Rock is doused with the chemicals, shot, and then burned to death in a chemical fire. Miraculously, he comes back to life in the morgue even though the mortician can’t recognize him despite having a photo ID right there. Seeing that nobody recognizes him any time he dies, Middlebaum teams up with a clandestine federal agency to stop the unusual threats that nobody else can handle. Someday he hopes to get his life back in order but until then, if anyone says that he looks familiar, all he can answer is “I’m not that guy.”
Next: All the Truth With George Santos
In a twist on the old game show, “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, George Santos stars in a show where contestants can win George’s money if they can determine which of his claims are actually lies.
The show abruptly ends mid-season, when George almost immediately ends up bankrupt after every contestant figures out that they’re all lies.
Patently Obvious
On this obvious rip-off of Shark Tank, hopeful inventors once again face a panel of tough business executives. The difference is that these inventors bring creations that are totally unoriginal knock-offs of popular products. The first contestant to convince the judges that the invention could somehow, somewhere, be commercially viable or at least get shelf space in a dollar store wins a million dollars.

That’s What She Said
Andy Dick stars as Nate Feck, a clerk at an auto parts store who responds to nearly everything anyone else says with replies such as “And we all know how painful that can be”; “. . . in my PANTS!”; “Your face is [echoes adjective the other person has just used]”; and, of course, “That’s what she said.” Five episodes were produced before the last non-Dick cast member quit, most of them simply rolling their eyes sarcastically when asked why.

Whups ninja’d
On The House
Funny footage of people stranded on their rooftops during various natural disasters. Warning: actual death by drowning and graphic grief, although some would consider that a bonus. Scenes of death and destruction are interspersed with clips of Al Roker saying “XXXmillion people are in the path of this storm!”
Next: Down The Drain
The sequel to the wildly popular “Patently Obvious”, in which we follow the winner as they try to market their winning idea, and watch as his million dollar prize goes Down The Drain!
Next: I see what you did there.
Psychic reliably gets visions of what happened at the scene of the crime; that’s not going to get a conviction in court, and so he routinely does the Sherlock Holmes bit of chalking stuff up to the scuff on a shoe and the tan line on a ring finger and so on and so on and so on and so on — but none of that is real, it’s never improbable feats of deduction, it’s always impossible feats of postcognition: he’s always trying to get actual evidence of what he already saw (without, y’know, saying so).
Next: Snap Out Of It.
(never mind - duplicate post)
Snap Out Of It
On Disney+ exclusively, we have this MCU series about people returning from the 5-year gap (the Snap) where they didn’t exist and the other half of the world did. The story follows 6 people: a cute little blonde girl, an angry teenage black man, an Asian 30-thirtysomething trans woman, a 50-plus white male executive (who no longer has a job), a 65-year old Jewish grandmother with dementia, and Howard the Duck. Still in production, it has already been condemned by Ron deSantis, Tucker Carlson, Lauren Boebert, Kid Rock and Mel Brooks (the last for just plain not being funny).
Next: Are You My Studebaker?
Are You My Studebaker?

Yet somehow, all the other automobiles have been replaced with Studebakers. Laughs abound as confused teens try to find the one true Studebaker that will allow them to remain in this reality.
Next up: Oh Yeahhh
A dramatic series following the complicated Copyright battles between The Kool Aid Man and the band Yellow over who originated the phrase “Oh Yeah!”

Next: Adorkably Yours
Written for Netflix, this limited series features an 18-year-old college freshman, Felicia White, who has impulsively decided to go to college across the country. She’s excited for a new chapter in her life but also worried about making friends, which has always been difficult for her, let alone meet a nice guy.
But will things literally fall into place when she lands on Charlie after falling off a ladder while attempting to hang a paper mache dinosaur as they volunteer at the local children’s museum?

The Angel of Demark Park
A Weeping Angel with a golden heart. After being fooled by The Doctor, one Weeping Angel comes out of their quantum lock by being accidentally doused with Hawking radiation by an absent minded demolition worker with a nuclear pacemaker implant.
An unlikely friendship ensues and together, they work to right small wrongs they come across in the Multiverse as they get transported into new situations at irregular intervals. Are they working for themselves or for some higher power? It appears that even they don’t know.
Next: A Cask for an Armadillo
Monty Shore and Aldo Fortune are stand up comics working at a dive comedy bar, trying to hit the big time. One night a famous producer arrives to see their respective acts, and with a challenge: write a joke about a cask for an armadillo. The joke that makes him laugh hardest will earn the writer a shot at a TV show. We follow the pair as they hilariously undercut each other to achieve stardom.
Next: So You Think You’re Woke
This hidden camera show catches the exhausted parents of newborns as they try to get things done on less than two hours sleep. A laugh track chuckles with every gallon of milk put into the dish cupboard by a mom, and dads using their phones as flashlights to look for the very phones they’re holding. While apparently intended to produce amused giggles, critics say that it shames the beleaguered new parents who are just trying to keep it together while caring for their tiny humans.
