So, A&E Network execs are coming here for a meeting at 1 PM today. We're supposed to have a brainstorming session with them to come up with ideas for a new hit prime time drama, to run on A&E once a week. If they like any of our ideas, they're going to let us produce the show.

This is a great chance to get a show you always wanted to see actually on the air and famous, no joke! If you have an idea post it here or IM me or email me or something and I'll pitch it to A&E for you at 1 o'clock!!!!

Do it!!!

Mobster named Sonny Alto deals with family problems, violence in the workplace through sessions with his Scientological auditor, Dr. Snelfi.

That show will be lower art than other shows of its kind!

The first season's major plot twist comes when Sonny's rival, the evil Xenucci, hijacks a shipment of clams bound for freedom and tries to sell them to a church clambake.

How about a drama about the employees of a recording studio? Think of all the "crazy" bands that could come through and cause trouble! And then there's the wackiness!

I think whatever you come up with, it should somehow address the lack of midgets on tv these days. In fact, I'd like to see an all-midget cast.

 

[FuSoYa]

sounds cool, but it also sounds like it might only appeal to a small demographic!

What about a Tales from the Crypt type show, but for menopausal women? Instead of horrible irony, each segment could be some sort of marital drama, and could be introduced by the motherly "Crypt-Weeper".

I trust that this was in response to my comment and that the pun was intended?

 

[FuSoYa]

BWAHA alex, ok, but you know how in TFTC, the ending would always be some kind of horrific twist? what kinds of horrific twists could you put on these stories in your idea?

Avi - puns are the bestest.

Oh, you know, the husband could accidentally invest in money-market instead of bonds, and his 401k could lose, like, $200 that month?

Within the confines of A&E: I would say bring back Bill & Ted.
Have them have a discussion panel-type show (sort of like Politically Incorrect, only not as annoying) where they bring back 4 people each week from some point in history to discuss various manners of topics. Asking Hitler what he thinks should be done in Afghanistan (like we don't know what he'd say), discuss modern black metal with Louis XVI, and the pros/cons of socialist modernity with one of the guys from Quest for Fire.

actually, eric, that would be a fucking HILARIOUS show. like primetime glick, but with fake guests, sketch-comedy-esque type stuff...

 

[FuSoYa]

that's an amazing idea. i'll bring it up and see if they're into it! but i heard the guy who played Bill quit acting!

 

[xfer]

Maybe A&E can tempt him back with a lucrative package of classic DVDs.

Possible replacement:

The presence & comedic value would be pretty much the same.

 

[GRIND.KILLED.EMO.]

Yeah the bill and ted idea is cool, but maybe there could be a drama like......they could bring back exo squad and do a live action or perhaps a cg version of mutant league.

 

[FuSoYa]

Dude, you are so 3 hours late.

 

[GRIND.KILLED.EMO.]

I know, I wish I was cool, but I'm really just a spectator in this sport.
