outlandish TV

Post Reply New Topic

Sitcoms of the 80s often involved outlandish scenarios. ALF, Small Wonder, and the like. Aliens and robots are simple ideas. We departed from this field before exploring the deeper end. Here are some ideas, including but not restricted to sitcoms:

The Tooth Fairy: A homosexual pedophilic dentist (played by John Stamos) invades the rooms of toothless boys. However, most of the focus will be on the boys; the abuse will just be the backdrop for a series of vignettes.

The Judge Won’t Budge: A foreign diplomat becomes a judge, and due to a legal loophole, his diplomatic immunity status makes him impossible to disbar. He becomes corrupt and unreasonable in his judgements. (Standard advertising image will feature a scepter smashing through a gavel) (Pilot episode will involve an ugly woman claiming to have been raped by a man. The judge will demand the man rape the woman in court, and if he is unable to achieve erection, he will be sent to jail. The man fails, and the judge declares this proof he could not have performed the rape, his reasoning being normal rape willingness is a subset of incentivized rape willingness.)

Semen Challenge: Reality show. Select a home. Gather the full history of residents. Inform them the sewage has been monitored for decades, so it is known how many different men have deposited semen in the various plumbing fixtures. The crowd then discusses the issue, attempting to generate the list. If they succeed, they will win money. This will motivate scandalous honesty.

What If?: Masterpiece Theater style children’s show. It will feature more realistic versions of various fantastic scenarios from literature and film. Example 1: Version of dumbo featuring a boy with clubfoot going on to drive a golf ball 600 yards with it. Example 2: Version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Female employee of Little People, Big World gets drugged and molested.

There’s No Place Like Gnome: Anthropomorphized bacteria slowly kill a gnome.

why not do an opera about sex workers, in esperanto with subtitles? or give mr. hanky his own show where he plays a municipal court judge! or a sci-fi drama about a person who escapes from a self-destructing earth in an experimental spacecraft [ala twilight zone] and ends up crashing on a strange planet populated by intelligent blood-sucking flying aardvarks who communicate by farting and hunt him relentlessly? or redo jersey shore but in South Park-style cut-out animation? or a wallace & grommit-styled stop motion animation version of monday night football but based on motion-capture of the actual athletes? maybe do a series version of "flesh gordon"? that would be fun. turn "reanimator" into a sitcom. how 'bout a comedy based on real-life circus freaks of old? or a musical melodrama about a bunch of cops who sing- no wait, that's already been done ["cop rock"] so scratch that. but maybe it should be done again but better? it should be a comic rock-opera. ok i'll stop now.
