How about a 24-hour channel show with a gardener interviewing a plumber? That'd be a ratings-winner.

Here's one. Another reality show.

Show takes place in a bizarre doughnut shop called "Screaming Kick-Ass Doughnuts" premise....all the doughnuts are named after Hard Rock bands, like the powered sugar doughnut is called "Whitesnake" and the doughnut with silver sprinkles is called, "Metallica..etc...etc..

The shop is run and owned by hardcore metal/hard rock fans and they all have mullets and still wear acid wash...totally living in the 80's. They all believe that it is just a matter of time before their favorite rock bands visit their shop to buy there namesake doughnut. They spend most of their time while working writing letters to their favorite band begging them to visit the shop and air guitaring to their favorite power ballads.

jimmy durante
chris cornell of soundgarden/audioslave
chris tucker (requires blackface, so it is even better)
my dad (not as funny to most people, but my brother/friends will love it)

Bathroom Confessions. A reality show where people's conversations in bathrooms are recorded and played back.

(I get the idea that the women's bathroom version would be much more successful.)

You're all a bunch of losers.

Now listen to my motherfucking brilliant idea:

The Swimmer IV
The return of Jason.

Opening scene: We see Floop waking up, going to the bathroom and washing his face. He makes a quick breakfast, goes to his basement, comes back with his gardening gloves. He is in front of a room with a closed door. He is breathing loudly and looks very anxious. Finally, he opens the door and goes in. We hear strange noises and Floop screaming "Oh my god". He gets out quickly and slams the door behind him.

2nd scene: Floop again, with his girlfriend, drinking coffee.
"Any change?"
"No, it's even getting worse. I don't fucking know what to do. It is really scary".

3d scene: We see Floop in front of his computer, wearing his undies, and posting on a random internet forum. Music: something from the Yellow album. There is a travelling, and the camera goes to the door of the "forbidden room". Then we see through something that is like a spy camera in the room. At first the room looks empty. The soundtrack of the scene is getting louder and louder (scandinavian death metal) and in the corner appears a tiny little kitty. The cat comes closer to the camera (scandinavian death metal getting louder) and we see that her eyes look insane. She comes very close, and the cat looks really motherfucking satanic scary, and than suddenly scratches the camera, and that's the end of that scene.

I am too lazy to write the rest of it now, but it involves a handsome and cunning French private detective and lots of Canadians get slaughtered.

Good night losers.

Hey, most screenplays are boring before they're actually performed.

A weekly tv series called

SPACE ARK

Andrew McCarthy stars as the captain of a spaceship who searches the cosmos for pairs of all sorts of zany animals. Of cousre, hilarity ensues as from week to week the solitary spaceage Noah must contend with the antics of obvious CGI and puppets. Good morals and occasional mind-bending allegorical social commentaries are sprinkled about for good measure.

Sometimes there will be guest stars we, as a television viewing audeince, have tended to forget about. They include Joel Higgins, Teresa Saldana, and Lee Horsley.

The 40 days and 40 nights rule wont apply because this takes place in space.

Andrew McCarthy probably wont apply either as he wont have to. He will co-create it.

This will definately be tested as a mid-season replacement program.

As with past Universal sci-fi tv epics of the 70's (Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century), a slightly longer edit of the pilot will be released theatrically as to recoup any losses.

Unless FOX picks it up. If this is the case, it'll end up right in the same place as Arrested Developement.

A show based on that short story "The Most Dangerous Game," except the game is made up of flavor-of-the-month celebrities. The ratings would go through the roof!

Heres one i've been working on for a while:

Gnome your Noam
A gameshow in which contestants are shown photographs of either Garden Gnomes or Noam Chomsky dressed as a garden gnome. Contestants have to identidy which is which. The winner of this preliminary round goes on to play for the grand prize (a garden gnome) by seeing how many garden gnomes they can catch, from around one thousand dropped on them from a great height. The booby prize is a paperback copy of Noam Chomsky's controversial bestseller 'Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky.'

On the same theme: my movie, Moore to the Point.
Noel Edmonds quizzes Michael Moore about his controversial political views, and points out the flaws in his political philosophy before taking issue with his shoddy film making. The programme culminates in Moore being hunted down and killed by Marxist Guerillas, who ridicule his baseball cap before cutting his face open. Certificate PG.

Or how about Beat The Shit Out Of Noel Edmonds, in which Edmonds is chained up and contestants give him a sound thrashing. Whoever makes him yell 'submit' gets a cash prize taken from his bank account.

That could work, but it may leave him crippled and unavailable for my new gameshow Eel or no Eel. The game has basically the same premise as channel 4s hit Deal or no Deal but contestants win eels instead of money.
One pound represents one eel. So for example if you won one pence, you win one hundredth of an eel, say, its eyeball. Likewise if you won a quarter of a million pounds, you would instead receive 250 000 eels. The contestants must pay £1 p & p per each eel won.

What about "Wheel or No Wheel," where contestants have to guess whether or not a certain phrase has ever been the answer to a "Wheel of Fortune" puzzle. Game shows would go self-referential!

"HOMEMADE DUMMY"

PBS documentary about making a dummy, from start to finish. the first half will be sort of a 'how to', including stealing your dad's clothes, stuffing them with newspapers, safety pinning then together from the inside etc.. to practical applications of of the homemade dummy like staging fake bike accidents and making it look like a bus commuter

"Meal Or No Meal". Prisoners on the death row in Texas are filmed 24-hours, Big Brother-style, including several cameras in the bathroom to get all the raping action. Every week one of them is voted off, and the winner gets to choose his own last meal. The other contestants go straight to the electric chair, without eating.
