Fox is showing some interest but if they want to put it on FXX the show will die instantly. For some reason, AMC saw it and thinks it is their next Breaking Bad-style edgy drama. Talk about hosed up, they offered us a 12-episode season if we change the title, turn our protagonist into an eventually horrible person, and up the sex factor by like 500% and add some REALLY creepy poo poo for what is supposed to be a light-hearted romp about a guy trying to keep a roof over his orphaned siblings' heads. Man, I was sort of offended with where they wanted to take the concept, to be honest.

So what if the worst kid ever, who everybody just calls Kid Hitler, keeps coming into the cafe and breaking games and losing pieces, and everybody is unreasonably afraid of him? The only type of game the dad character likes our those crazy indepth hex wargames. Kid hitler is a prodigy at them... you see where I am going with this

My Racist Grandpa Man in his 60s, played by an aging character actor or stand-up comic, moves in with his 30 year old daughter, keeps things lively with a non-stop stream of zingers that would be horrible and offensive were it not for the twist that the grandfather's character is 1/8 black.

Okay, I think Settlers of Kansas is off to a good start, so let's make it option 1 and start looking at other ideas. I'm thinking once we have 5-10 ideas that are viable we'll put it to a vote and then write the winners as pilot scripts. Feel free to continue posting ideas for Settlers of Kansas, but be sure to denote that it's for SoK. Moving on to idea 2... Gaunab posted:What happens when the spokesman for a restaurant has to rebuild his life after becoming a convicted pedophile? Find out on Jared! coming to CBS this fall. I like this a lot. My biggest concern with SoK is that the humor, while in our goony wheelhouse subject-wise, is not at all in SA's usual "gnashing pit" style. A show about Subway Jared (or a thinly veiled pastiche) and other disgraced celebrities is much more our brand of acid. I see it as kind of like That's My Bush. Jared should get advice from the ghost of Jimmy Seville, who keeps claiming he'll help "fix things" for Jared, but it never works out. Every episode ends with a group of local fathers stomping Jared's face in outside a bar, courthouse, etc. Keep 'em coming; what other pitches have people liked so far?

Here's the honest truth: I was inspired by some of the posts in Lowtax's recent threads into believing that maybe, just maybe GBS wanted to make actual content again, like it did in the old days. Of course that means having threads where people push a little and actually try to stay organized and get poo poo done, instead of pissing and moaning and dissolving into petty barbs, but maybe I don't have to cheerlead to get that effect, you're right. Have fun pitching stupid show ideas, enjoy fun internet comedy time.

I have been specifically avoiding my own ideas and trying to concentrate on other peoples because I thought that would avoid the wrath of GBS. Nope! Anyway, yeah Wheels is stupid, gently caress him, he's out. Here's some show ideas: -The workers at a u-haul type truck rental place have a secret race and demolition derby night with colorful alteregos and immense pagentry. Over time they start going public with it and business is booming, but the head corporate office is always trying to shut things down and install new square regional managers (who keep mysteriously disappearing). -A children's puppet show clearly made by anti-government militiamen for their kids. Features a mischievous marionette cowboy Ronald Reagan and a hedgehog dressed up like Marx. Together they "explain" chemtrails and mothmen a'la Sesame Street. -A family comedy about Slimes from RPGs. Like Dinosaurs but with gelatinous cubes and ochre jellies. -Adapt Livestock's "Dogs for Sale" articles into a humane-society type public access show. -An accident-prone chef manages to kill all his employees every episode.

Gaming the System A nerd comedy in the style of The Big Bang Theory revolving around a third-party hardware/software gaming developer in the US consisting of a really smart girl who is completely normal and just hired for the team.

S1E5: "Voxels" Protesters gang up on the team for their work on a game that has been labeled as misogynistic. New girl realizes an old college classmate of hers is running the protesting group and is forced to debate with her on a web-based gaming show. S1E6: "Lose a Man" In response to the previous episode's horrible debate outcome, the team is told they need to either lose a male employee or hire an additional woman to adjust their diversity numbers. S1E7: "Worst Movie Adaption Ever" Creepy socially awkward guy is let go, but they are having trouble making deadlines so a replacement is sought out. In order to get his job back, he proceeds to pull a Mrs. Doubtfire and disguise himself as his twin sister. Trouble arises when the other creepy guy in the office starts to hit on him while he's pretending to be his 'sister'. S1E8: "Press Reset" At the end of last episode, their project manager realizes that she's a woman and therefore makes that technically makes the team already 50/50 male/female which appeases their critics. So, everyone is back to to making their games while the the two creepy guys have to attend a sensitivity seminar, putting the project further behind schedule. S1E9: "Corrupted Data" Brent Spiner guest stars. The socially awkward girl on the team pesters a visiting passive Hollywood actor who is there to provide voice acting for a game. Meanwhile, she finds herself in competition with the 2 other members of the team who are similarly obsessed with talking about Star Trek with him. Meanwhile, the actor's medications are lost down a sink and his true personality as a mean spirited, hateful character gradually comes out. S1E10: "Game 7 In Hit Trilogy" Work on their latest game is pushed back so the team can help put the finishing touches on the company's big franchise game for the year. Things go awry as 1 creepy guy insists the franchise was stolen from his idea by head of a rival development studio in the company and tries to find proof. S1E11: "Stealth Mechanics" Trying to find evidence of the theft of his game ideas, the creepy guy sneaks into the near-empty building during a power outage while the episode becomes a stealth-game parody as he sneaks through the complex. S1E12: "Retro Gaming" After the 'power outage' accidentally cause the servers containing most the work on the big franchise game to be deleted, the company scrambles to shove everyone back into completing unfinished older games to have something to turn out for the Holiday season. Our team gets stuck with the job of finishing a translation of a unusual and unreleased 16-bit Japanese RPG that company purchased 20 years earlier. S1E13: "Continue?" The RPG is a surprise hit for the company, but for all the wrong reasons. The team is facing being split up.

A low ranking, reluctant, milksop time-explorer from a utopian future becomes stranded in the present, and discovers in the first episode that he is (and always has been) the mysterious grand leader that roused humanity to ecological awareness, economic equality, world peace, and sexual revolution. After failing to reach any position of leadership or fame whatsoever he starts where he can- as a motivational speaker, feverishly driven by his knowledge that every person he fails to completely revolutionize in a 45 minute presentation is another piece missing from his own timeline. Can just one futurian doofus fix the world with Powerpoint? What if his life depends on it?

As the rest of the team show off their gaming tatts, New Girl struggles with finding the perfect game related tattoo to fit in. S2E4: "Missing Data" Guest Star: Brent Spiner. A Hollywood actor returns to the game company to do more voice over work, and does his best to avoid the annoying team members that pestered him in the past. However, he now finds himself pestering the team manager after she tells him that she's never actually watched 'Star Trek: The New Generation' and therefore is the only person in the office that treats him like a human being instead of a machine. S2E5: "Dating Sim" Awkward Guy and New Girl go on a double 'not-date' with one of the creepy guys and the awkward girl. Creepy Guy 2 shows up with his virtual girlfriend. S2E6: "New Old Stock" The guys are going to spend the long Holiday weekend renting a van and travelling to the Midwest in search of an elusive and legenardy old mom-and-pop store that allegedly still has old, unopened, unsold games dating all the way back to the Atari era. The girls tag along. They find the store in a town so small it's not even on the map, but it's closed for the Holidays. S2E7: "Unforeseen Consequences" Guest Star: James Rolfe. Creepy Guy's continuing 100% Oil-lent diet leads to a disaster while appearing on a gaming panel with internet media personalities.

S2E11: "Ranch Theft Auto" Creepy Guy is out of the hospital and vows to make a change in his life, starting with eating more 'healthy' salads. At the same time, the guys are asked to find a way to destroy the opium crop for the girls and destroy all the evidence. S2E12: "Hit Detection" Guest Star: Mike Tyson. The two creepy guys end up in an underground fight club after destroying the drugs. Unknowingly loaded up on opium, one of the creepy guys sees himself in a real-world version of Punch-Out. S2E13: "Camping" To deal with the crazy events of the last several weeks and in hopes of reviving their programming spirit, the team manager makes everyone take part in a team building exercise. Unfortunately, it involves them camping in line all night in line to buy the latest iPhone and getting into fights with fellow line people. S2E14: "QTE" New girl and awkward guy make an accidental discovery about awkward girl. The creepy guys accidentally lock their phones in the team manager's car while she's giving a presentation to her bosses. S2E15: "Full Motion Jacket" Team Manager is being interviewed for a documentary on the game industry, one of the creepy guys starts to go crazy trying to track down a malfunction in a game. S2E16: ""Ragdoll Physics" The girls decide to support the guys after they were cyberbullied in their favorite online game, but they're horrified to discover the perpetrators are incredibly mean-spirited and foul-mouthed grade-school girls and now find themselves their victims in the game and in real life. S2E17: "Gaming Exposed, Part 1: The Princess is in Another Castle" The team is sent to attend "One of the biggest gaming conventions of the year.. held in this month... in this part of the country." However, the team is split between hotels due to multiple conventions going on that weekend. S2E18: "Gaming Exposed, Part 2: Booth Babes" The team manager announces that 'booth babes' have been banned from the convention this year, but the male team members will have to (half)dress up as to promote the company's latest game. S2E19: "Gaming Exposed, Part 3: Rated M for Mature" A different sort of convention going at the hotel they're staying at ends badly for some, slightly less badly for the others. S2E20: "Strategy Guide" Driving back from the convention with most of the weekend being a blur, the entire team tries to piece together a single coherent narrative to tell their employers so nobody gets fired. S2E21: "Summer Games" Guest Star: Summer Glau. As awkward guy and new girl are about to maybe seriously think about asking one another out for real, the former partner of the the team manager returns to headhunt some of the team to move to Japan for the next 3 months to help with the reboot of the retro game they helped revive interest in last year.

Can one PR team spin responsibility for a new dark age into good press and keep their feather-brained boss out of the hands of lynch-mobs? Find out this fall, on "Whoopsie!"
