Hmmmm. Sounds promising. I'll need to hear more.
Does he talk like he's got a mouth full of marbles?

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

It may be time for all of America to quit watching TV altogether.
I'm a baby boomer - have watched TV since Day 1, but haven't watched a regular program since before Seinfeld.
While channel surfing and finding nothing to watch again last week (with over 200 channels!), it dawned on me that it may just be time to quit TV.
Normally I'd add the "except for sports" caveat here, but I quit watching the felons in the NFL and NBA many moons ago.
Now I'm sick of baseball too with its multi-zillion dollar contracts for .228 hitters, PEDs and a sport that'll soon be approaching 50% foreigners.

I have two sitcom ideas that (IMHO) would be successful. After all I have been a consumer of them for many years and have a knack for knowing which ones will be successful and which won't be. That said even though one is fully developed the scumbags at NBC couldn't pay me enough to share with them. If they picked it they would just screw it up anyway.

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.

Except Maude was always “right” and this Lead will always be wrong.
My concept is All in the Family” flipped over — with the lefty being mocked every week.

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.

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.
To: dfwgator
It started with SOAP with Billy Crystals gay character. ...and don't forget "Three's Company"

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...
