New this fall on NBC: Jane Lynch and Rosie O’Donnell star as a couple of “good ole’ gals” staying one step ahead of the law in “The Dykes of Hazzard.”
On second thought. Cancel that. Nobody would ever believe such a pathetic, contemptible garden gnome could exist.
How about a sitcom where scientist go to Antarctica to prove global warming but get stuck in the ice instead?
Hilarity ensues as rescue after rescue is bungled
A plane load of democrat congressmen crash lands on a desert island and they have to se their “wits and ingenuity” to survive.
Two episodes later the ones who haven’t been killed and eaten die from stupid jackass-style accidents.
GEORGE: What was that all about?
JERRY: They said they were interested in me.
GEORGE: For what?
JERRY: You know, a TV show.
GEORGE: Your own show?
JERRY: Yeah, I guess so.
GEORGE: They want you to do a TV show?
JERRY: Well, they want me to come up with an idea. I mean, I don't have any ideas.
GEORGE: Come on, how hard is that? Look at all the junk that's on TV.
-- Seinfeld, Season 4 Episode 43 "The Pitch"
How about a show without a gay character? Just one please...
Ok. A transgender black woman, whom some say is related to Bigfoot, shacks up with an aspiring commie from kenya, who plans to destroy the country, first taking down healthcare.
How about a ship full of smelly hippies go to Antarctica to try and stop the Japanese from Whaling?
Hilarity ensues when their bumbling incompetent captain plans are always foiled by those wily Japanese
Oh wait, that was Whale Wars
I’d love to see a good sit-com that heaps deep, incessant ridicule upon liberals, their stupid ideas, and the results of their stupid ideas, but I don’t expect it to come out of NBC.
Koch Krazy with Harry Reid and the Koch brothers.
In the show a paranoid schizophrenic lives in a house with the Koch bothers and hilarity ensues.
Ultimate Hypocrite with Michael Moore
A fun look at a charlatan scam artist and the rubes he milks for cash.
How ‘bout a sitcom where anti-US Marxist radicals infiltrate and take over the Executive Branch of government along with most of the Federal Agencies/Bureau’s and purposefully work toward the overthrow of the Republic in favor of a socialist/communist totalitarian police state?
And the sick, perverted, worthless cretins who comprise the entertainment and media industries willingly betray their fellow citizens and support the coup d’état in the hopes of becoming leadership in the New Order?
Oh, wait - that’s not very funny...
Not every joke be about sex, take out the gay and leftist propaganda would help
How about one where a goofy, air-headed, half black, homosexual, illegal alien dope addict is married off to a large, ugly, manly black woman by a bunch of communist and socialist conspirators with an eye on getting the guy elected to the presidency?
Hilarity and high jinks ensue when they succeed through a combination of vote fraud, playing the race card and almost crashing the entire US economy with the aid of greedy capitalist bankers who want to plunder the US Treasury.
How about this.....a poor Arab Bedouin discovers oil and then moves to Bel-Air and hilarity ensues.

Nahhhhh. Never mind. Completely unbelievable.
Gosh. This coming up with funny tv shows that have plausible plot lines is tough.
“No one watches our sitcoms. Don’t they realize how smart and funny we are? The network executives are beating us up because no one watches our shows. What can we do to get back at the audience and network executives who don’t realize how brilliant and funny we are?”
“Let’s ask everybody for their ideas. That way, the network executives will see that we really are brilliant.”
“But, don’t we get paid big bucks to be funny? Isn’t this really admitting that we should be replaced?”
“Ummmmm......yeah.”
Hey NBC!
Here’s an idea for yah.
Rerun the following:
Winky Dink and You - the first interactive cartoon show
Crusader Rabbit
Tom Terrific
That’s right, cartoon shows from the fifties. They would certainly raise the intellectual content by several orders of magnitude over the puerile nonsense NBC currently broadcasts.
And they’re certainly vastly funnier.
Bring back the evening Family Hour.
Though it wouldn’t happen through NBC, I can imagine a new production studio oriented to “volume” instead of just a few high budget productions. It’s selling points:
1) Popular with the various unions, because it provides *some* work for a lot of people, instead of just a few big names. So an emphasis on vignette productions, like the original Twilight Zone, with a mostly different cast and production team each episode, live music, script and acting heavy, with minimal f/x.
2) Everybody works for scale, so no stars who want more. Everything goes direct to syndication, and profits go back into production.
3) Return to the stage production look and feel instead of reality based shows. That comes into play later, with old style travelogue and nature shows like Wild Kingdom.
4) Eventually produce a variety show, which is a tried and true formula.
