“A sassy, unconventional con artist is promised immunity from the law if he helps a prison warden get a cat out of a tree.”
I think this sounds great! Shenanigans will ensue as the con travels throughout the world, squeaking his way out of dire straits and into immense riches by somewhat mundane tasks! I would watch the shit out of that.
Likewise, I would also watch the cancerous werewolf and the lonely monsters. Both of those sound like band names, possibly for the noisy superheroes.
In fairness, it’s the mundane tasks that people would be most grateful to you for doing. Some days I’d extravagantly reward someone for giving the cat her medicine or putting my receipts in order, especially if they were witty while doing so.
“A group of white people have more than one black friend.”
alternately, a sitcom with a diverse cast including white people, of which a black person is the main character.
“A group of puppets are friends and probably the purple one is supposed to be black. The green and orange ones are open for interpretation.”
Is the purple one gay?
One character, black and gay? I don’t know, I think there’s a one demographic per character rule. Make it a woman, while you’re at it, and really blow some minds.
Does that mean The Count is black and gay? Because that’s awesome.
Slightly unrelated, but I really want to a Star Trek: TNG tumblr where every mission goes exactly according to plan, and is as boring as described during the cold open.
(“The Enterprise is traveling to Nigella VII to discuss a trade treaty with the reclusive Nigellians. It turns out their reclusiveness is just a bargaining tactic and, after several weeks of negotiations, we are able to agree on a tariff schedule that suits everyone.”)
I do NOT need to start another tumblr
Oh my god I would find this kind of thing so incredibly satisfying. I mean, actually now that I think about it, that’s what I loved most about certain episodes of The West Wing.
To be fair, on TNG they usually DO successfully negotiate the trade treaty, it’s just that one of the crew members disappears into another dimension and there is a B plot about an alien virus eating the Enterprise or something.
“A well-adjusted person has a job and occasional, satisfying relationships during his late twenties.”
I love how Friends tried this six different ways and still didn’t manage it even once.
I would watch this one, though
A stand-up comic slowly alienates everyone in his life with his inability to stop turning conversations into punchlines.
I actually have/had a friend like that :-/
I married a version.
Haha I love the last one (all of them but that’s my favorite).
Kelsey Grammer stars as a pompous radio psychiatrist who doesn’t take his shirt off EVEN ONCE during the run of the show.
“Two four-year-olds, lifelong friends, team up to run a sanitarium after discovering they inherited it from their dead parents.”
Oh PLEASE someone make this show.

That first one actually kind of happened in real life: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2013/04/…
(Apparently hyperlinking doesn’t work here? 🙁 )
EW.
