Imagine that one of the four big networks abc,nbc,cbs, or fox. Said to you come up with a sitcom idea and write the script for it and well put it on the air and pick it up for our fall schedule. What would your sitcom be about?
Let's see...
My sitcom would be about...
thirty minutes long.
:lol:
What a lame joke.
Since the "Family Show" seems to be making a comeback on the major networks, I would probably try to pitch an idea for a show in that area.
Networks love to copy ideas from each other until the genre is run into the ground...

Well, mine would meet the following criteria. It would have shallow characters in their thirties living in an apartment in a big city. I would cram in as many references to sex as possible and rely on potty jokes to carry each scene. Since this show would mirror reality, every other line would reflect real world dialogue every line would contain a four letter word and it would take the censorship board to court to get the f-word into primetime. Oh, its running time would be 15 minutes so the network can sell enough commercial time so it doesn't go bankrupt. This is the successful formula for current TV.

Well, mine would be a sitcom about fire inspectors. about 3 main goofing off. joke playing crude fire inspecters, a slave driving, mean, no sense of humored, chief, a hot dumb secretary (sorta like the kelly bundy type character) and a few others around that. how many would like to see a sitcom like that?
Mine would be called "Hit Tips" and would be about waitresses.
