**Show premises you’re pretty sure have never been made** 1. “The Moose Report” - a live action show where actors dress in moose costumes and portray a family of mooses that have been lawyers for past three generations, but the youngest wants to be a meteorologist and do weather reports. 2. “Classical Gas” - Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Johann Sebastian Bach, finding themselves sinking ever more deeply into debt because they can’t make ends meet as composers, become partners in a gas station and also sell weed, bootleg LPs, and knock-off Rolex watches to their favorite customers. 3. “Who’s The Pope?” - A conman finds that he’s a lookalike for the Pope and fills in for publicity events. One day, the real Pope decides to go on vacation leaving the fake to take his place. Hijinks ensue! 4. “Gilligan’s Island: The LOST Episodes” - The castaways meet the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 and must explain to them they are never getting off this island. 5. Name that theorem! - A game show where contestants are given successive lines of a mathematical proof and have to guess what the final conclusion is. 6. Star Trek: Vineyards - Set in 2380 in a post scarcity society. People hang out at their vineyards (but what is ownership, really?) and talk about things. There’s no alien invasion, no secret government conspiracies, no mirror universe incursions, no real problems to speak of other than young people chilling. ---

Daughter asks meaningless questions about _everything_, and son carries around notebook and pen-- scribbles notes as he tries to come up with the perfect tautology.
