I would say, but no cookie is worth the embarrassment.

Its a show about a family of suburban white people moving to Compton, and they all freak out, even though nothing is happening to them,
For both our sakes, then, I'll assume you're correct XD

Mine that I've had in my head for a good while now is sort of like Brothers Grimm style fairy tales, or Tim Burton-esque stories. Each story is completely different- some are comedies, or tragedies, or romances, or a mix of all of the above. One deals with 'zombies' (a love story), one of paper airplanes (a tragedy), one about flowers (not sure how to classify?) and my personal favourite, is the rebirth of Earth (a drama?).

Each one is also done in a different 'tint'- so the zombie one is mostly shot in hues of blue, white, and black, the flowers one is shot in greens, browns, and golds, etc.

They're all very symbolic, thematic, and philosophic. And most, sadly, end in death (but often in a happy way.)

But it will probably never be made because it's not:

A. A crime show centered in a major American city.
B. Medical show.
C. Reality show.

My sitcom is about a man with a plan. This plan always goes wrong, and hilarity ensues.
Oh wait.

Sitcoms have at this point been raped and left on the side of the road to die, then beaten to death with spoons my bikers, then eaten and shat out by a bear.

And get rid of the fucking laugh tracks. I do not need a a bunch of paid ninnies telling me when to laugh.
But we uneducated tpyes might not be intelligent enough (in the eys of the network executives) to get the joke, and need these laugh tracks as a reassurance that we are laughing at the correct moment of time.

I have this idea....
This sarcastic, world hating, alcoholic book store owner has to work together with a cheerful hippie. Together they try and somehow keep the shop open... somewhat.

Oh, no wait. I was ninja'd by Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran.

I had this idea for a sitcom set in three seperate time periods, a medievil time, a modern day, and the not too distant future. the point is that three comedians, related to each other via ancestory, would face the time period specific variation on the same problem, and each would solve it in a different way.

i never got much further than that tho

I would base a sitcom on the life of four impotent guys living in amsterdam. It would be called flacid and would air at 9:30. I would have a laugh track, but the audience would comprise entirely of women. The catch phrase would be, "ow not another softy", which would be chorused by the crowd and the rest of the show would entail the poor son of a ***** crying into a cold bed while the laugh track continued until the end.

I imagine keifer sutherland, ben affleck, matt damon and tom cruise for the main roles and kelsey grammer as a hard ball psychiatrist who unintentionally blurts out, "come on be a man", everytime one of the four main characters fails to get laid.

Steve Wilkos would narrate.

Here's one of two that I have. It's more overtly hilarious one. It's about some scientists, and various others, who work in Area 51. They deal with wacky stuff like their sociopath boss quarantining the building when what may have been a super virus is released. Fund raising schemes like a yard sale where some alien technology is accidentally sold.
That's about all I have right now.

Like the Office, but with a school. Imagine every stupid thing that has happened at your school plus the Office. Genius, if I do say so myself.

Can the hive mind twilight fans be the main antagonist. (Sorry, it's just so easy to rip- Sorry, what I meant to say is it's so easy to mess with their heads.)

Think "A Knights Tales" but, as a series.

With all the cultural references to soccer fans and celebration, this would be more successful in the UK, but, who cares about the rest of you, it's about time we made something half decent.

That's not a returning series that began a decade ago.

Prove me wrong UK escapians.

God, I don't care. Fairly Odd Parents for the motherfucking win.

Also, I have had daydreams about a school-based version of The Office.

I have another one. It's about 3 guys, and they live in Montana.

This crap would write itself.

How about a family of people, all with really absurd names, trying to live in "civilized" society with everyone laughing at their names and no one takes them seriously.

A Pirate, a Ninja, and an airline pilot who happens to be a clone of Chuck Yeager (played by Jack Black), all living together in apartment in the St. Louis suburbs as part of a government experiment the purpose of which is never clearly explained.

That's all I've got.
