Sitcom idea or just sad Page 2

"This girlfriend works as a child psychologist and enjoys constantly psycho analyzing the man who is totally convinced she is only with him because he is an excellent case study for her PhD work."

That's the angle that amused me - go for it

I'm confused!

Is this the 'Torture Porn' thread?

Thanks all, my new sitcom is then to be written, at least I don't have to bother making up character profiles. Also have enough weird stuff for about 10 seasons.

Hey, Nonny...

I like the idea, just not too keen on the girlfriend being the same age (or younger) than the daughters.

If your intention is for the daughters and girlfriend to gang up on the dad, I feel it would be better for the girlfriend to be slightly older.

You do realise he is talking about his real life?

I think it sounds like a pretty good premise.
And if it's not working then you just need to try to make your real life a bit more funny.

People say you should write what you know about.
How's this for a Sitcom idea?
A man 45 years old single father who brought up four daughters 24,25,26 and 27 a Nurse, Model, Architect (nearly) and a lay-about. All are quite pretty but he can't get any of them married off because they all scare the crap out of men. Seems as though their only goal in life is to create problems for their estranged father, which they do a lot! The father is a bit of a nob and his efforts to 'sort problems' often backfires into comical situations mostly escalating to the totally absurd.

To complicate matters the father has a beautiful and intelligent 25 year old girlfriend who he has lived with for 6 year years and they have a 2 year old. This girlfriend works as a child psychologist and enjoys constantly psycho analyzing the man who is totally convinced she is only with him because he is an excellent case study for her PhD work. When all 5 women are together ganging up on him he seems to transform into a sort of Basil Fawlty type character. He is always having great ideas and cunning plans which everybody except for himself realise are really stupid.

Now I really, really don't think this is funny, and not a base for a Sitcom (because this is my life).
My friends keep telling me my life is hilarious though.
What do you think Sitcom material or just sad?
