Worst idea for a sitcom Page 44

Every One Degloves Raymond

Actually quite a good idea for a show.

Logistics & Solutions
Two lazy f**kers start a company dealing in two of the vaguest service concepts ever. They pick and choose what work to do on a whim, using excuse after excuse to prove/disprove what either of the two of them are. Interesting exercise in management development with little laughs.

The Young Juans

Tedious tale of Spanish students and Cliff Richard.

Stan And The Liver
Sitcom set in a butcher's owned by Stan, with a supporting cast including 19-year-old bacon slicing slapper Angie, Des the slimy delivery boy, Stan's nephew who has a job only out of pity, who wants to 'pork' Angie, and Tumour, the dog, who likes sausages.

I'd watch it.

Sinbad & The Sailors
After getting booted off Coronation Street (or whatever second-rate TV he is on now) the bloke who played 'Sinbad' in Brookside trawls the gutters of TV for work with literally no success. He is then approached (from behind) by a producer from 'Gay!Gay!Gay! Productions' and he is financially forced to perform in a new show written specially for him. With John Barrowman as the sailors.

Rofl.

C.H.E.E.S.E On Toast!
After a further failure with Joey's diner, Mr Tribbiani is approached from the afterlife by his old agent Estelle to reunite with an old co-star. Excited by the prospect of hooking up again with the chick and duck in his own creation, the zoo-keeping masterpiece Joey, A Chick AND A DUCK!, his finds himself a little disappointed to find that C.H.E.E.S.E, the robot, has not only been rebuilt, but has also since won several Grammys since they worked together. Having won these only gave C.H.E.E.S.E the big ego and now he refuses to work each day until Joey, reprising his role as 'Mac', 'toasts' him and refers to him as 'B.O.S.S.'. It's a new low for Joey and he attempts to get out of the series by auditioning as a sailor in a hot new sitcom on British television.

Last of the Sumo Whine

Retired Japanese wrestlers fanny about endlessly

The Last Summer Wino
With Cleggy the only one left of the original three bonkers OAPs, he turns to drinking and gets progressively worse as we end the series with him drinking sherry from a brown paper bag outside the Holmfirth Co-op. Even Colonel Peacock jumping in a bath and rolling down a hill doesn't bring him out of his depression. Tragic.

Ooooo I would also watch that. It's sounds like Fry's (Futurama) life before he went into the future.

Moo Cow Don't Bother Me
-A barnyard full of animals who chit chat all day about what they might eat. Sharon the cow constantly offers them all milk...everyone hates Sharon.

Coast Is Clear
Scotch bloke travels the entire coastline of Britain letting off stink bombs at regular intervals.

Talk To The Hans
Superhans has the crazy idea to start his own radio talk-show, but in order to follow his dream, has to join a commerical variant of The Samaritans to keep it running. Hilariously, everyone he talks to, on or off air, tops themselves. Uplifting.

Dan

Scotch Missed
Revealing biopic of Barrowman's sexual encounters that went wrong. Messy follow-up.

Rent and Rentabilty. The hilarious goings on of a bunch of former sub-prime mortgage holders being made homeless and having to sell their children and their bodies to make ends meet whilst living in low rent accommodation in the nearest shit hole they can find.
