That, or for the grownups, the anthology series “Hardcore German Dungeon Porn With The Actors Expertly Deepfaked With Various Political and Religious Leaders”…check out our hour-long pilot “Starring” Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un, and a caricature of Prophet Mohammed, “Drei Jungen, 1 Kolostomie”!
A dark comedy series of misadventures set in the Weekend at Bernie’s world. It would star de-aged Jonathan Silverman, Andrew McCarthy, and Terry Kiser.
Why are you wasting time here? You need to get scripts to your relatives!
Would he get along with John Finnemore and Wes Anderson? Let’s get all our heroes on board…
Me, I’d just gather my goin’-out-for-breakfast friends, and brainstorm crazy crap. If budget was no limit, we’d spend it all every episode.
It’d be like Ernie Kovacs, throwing stuff together at the last minute, and trying stuff that hasn’t been done yet.
(Oh, you want me to tell you what we’d do? Well, pony up. We don’t get brilliant for free)
I like the real life true only news show idea. I would make sure there were no commercial breaks though.
I would like to make a mini-series following my own family during the depression so some time travel would have to be involved. I love history so more historical dramas. Also would like to see an expanded version of “How it’s Made”. Factories fascinate me. Not huge factories but mundane stuff like how matches are made or sheets or especially mass production of stuff like Christmas ornaments for instance. In China.
The TV show I’ve been pitching is called “American Made” the idea is the host (preferably me) goes to a different craft producer each week to learn how they do what they do. Similar to Dirty Jobs but instead of getting filthy it would seeing how people make cheese, or trains or whatever. Due to my background we’d do at least one episode each season on booze and there would probably be one or two food episodes per season but the other 10 would focus on unusual things people are making like pens or clothing (or components like wool and dye) or getting into blacksmithing and founderies.
ETA: The other thing I just pitched was a Thanksgiving crossover between Moonshiners and Diesel Brothers where we convert a 500 gallon still to a truck mounted deep fryer that can fry 50 30-pound turkeye at the same time.
My home state of Kentucky is almost never portrayed positively in fiction. I struggle to think of examples that don’t annoy the hell out of me. So I would set my show there, and I would go out of my way to avoid the lazy stereotypes and tiresome cheap shots. There would be no illiterate hicks. There would be no sassy Southern belles. There would be no moonshine. It would, in many ways, be a show that could just as easily take place in any other state in the country, except the characters would have a significant passion for college basketball. And I might throw in some horse racing for a little extra local flavor. Kentucky, for once, would get a fair shake.
I would do an interview show where some crazy up-and-coming comedian would interview the souls of recently departed celebrities.
I would think that most of the interviewees would only talk about one thing. They would complain about the accomodations they find they are living in. Nothing but complaints and whining.
After all, wherever they are is almost certainly the one place where everyone would be treated alike and dead celebs would definitely be unhappy about that.
