Instead of a laugh track, there’s a wail of pain and gnashing of teeth track.

Wait. I thought of another requirement. Every time there’s a fat joke, I get to punch a show creator in the junk.

I say if you want terrible sitcom ideas, you make an anthology show. Write up a list of characters with their personalities and actors, and run a contest to get your script turned into an episode. There’s no continuity because all of the episodes are written in a vacuum and you eventually get the same sort of bland standardization you get from an actual team of writers!

Does anyone remember that sitcom, I think it was on Nick at Nite, about a 50s sitcom family that lived in the modern real world? They had a button that would turn everything black and white when regular people weren’t around and lots of sitcom legends guest-starred as the characters that made them famous. I don’t think it lasted long.
It would still be a fun idea, although obviously you couldn’t do the guest stars anymore. But Wandavision showed you could do a believable 50s sitcom and a modern one with the same characters in the same show.

Anyway, I think Wandavision showed that a 1950s sitcom world clashing with our modern sensibilities is worth exploring on TV and that show apparently only had 13 episodes, so it’s a sitcom that I really think could be remade.

We need a reboot of the old show Quark, about a space garbage collector.

Given Ms. Piggy’s skill at martial arts, I like to think she would’ve taken a lot less abuse from her writing staff.

Of course, given modern trends, I have the idea of a group of people who find themselves in a reboot of a fictitious series that they loved. And now they have to figure out how to get off the air and back to their actual lives.

An AI forced to endless Godzilla gets its revenge…by creating a REAL kaiju to destroy its tormentors. (It sorta looks like Godzilla but the eyes are weird and its hands don’t fit on the end of its arms.)
I mean, Pleasantville.
Hasn’t anybody seen Pleasantville?!

I know they already revived MacGyver once, but I say we do it again, but each time, instead of him using a paperclip, he has to talk to Clippy, the former Microsoft Office “assistant.”
