So you see, since this guy had no insurance, the judge orders him to become my friend's butler.

Unless it has a “gay” theme they won’t be interested.

I might be able to help them out with this...STOP SHOE-HORNING GAYS INTO EVERY DAMN SITCOM. I won’t watch any of those, and I bet I’m not the only one.

I am with you. I believe that Will and Grace was probably one of the ten most destructive TV series of all time. Millennials support “gay marriage” largely because they grew up watching it IMO.

The Witless Protection Program.

They could cast the reverend Al, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder as a love triangle in liberal DC.

It started with “SOAP” with Billy Crystal’s gay character.

I have a good idea. How about a sitcom on how a major network has run out of imagination and ideas and needs a dumbed down country full of ignorant boobs to do what they are unable to do.

The network left has just about made fun of individuals to the point they may have to rely on the “old” ideas of comedy like Red Skelton or Carol Burnett or Lucille Ball!

Heaven forbid.

Perhaps the well is dry for original sitcom material after all these years. It may be time for all of America to quit watching TV altogether.

Enough inane sit-coms. How about some heart-warming family oriented classics again, like The Waltons of the 70’s?

According to the article, here is the panel of “celebrities” who will be judging the series pitches.

Aziz Ansari, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Mindy Kaling, Adam McKay, Seth Meyers, Mike Schur, Amy Poehler

So yeah, it is gonna be “all-gay-all-the-time”.

Okay. See how this strikes you.

The whitest white woman you've ever known decides she wants to run for Senator for an Northeastern U.S. state and it turns out she attended college on a program designed for Native Americans so she claims she is part Cherokee and uses as proof of this a photograph of a long dead relative who had high cheekbones and the people of the state she is running in believe her and next thing you know......

On second thought. Forget it. Nobody would ever believe something as ludicrous as that.

Go all gay. Pretend there are no straight people anywhere. I haven’t tuned in anything, sports included, on major networks for 6 years+.
