my idea for a comedy series

i want to write and direct a sketch comedy show that focuses on mocking career reality tv shows(ice road truckers, operation repo, etc)

30 minute show, every week we feature two careers (mail man, sanitation workers, bankers, custodians, doctors, school teachers, musicians, landscaping, bass fisherman....there are not limits)

keys to success? stereotype to death and include clever and frisky situations

it'd be filled with dry humor, extremely politically incorrect material, have an MA rating, and would stray away from just being random garbage

and there's no way in hell i'm using those fake laughs after every line(the funniest shows don't use that bullshit...arrested development, curb your enthusiasm, always sunny)

who wants to be part of the team, as an actor/actress or a writer?

 

I like the idea, but I don't see it being a whole series. TV is dead anyway man, just make a bunch of sketches with people you know (use a DSLR for good quality video), post it on YouTube, and once you get enough hits add a few ads and start rolling in the dough.

Seriously. That's the future of what television used to be. Get in on (nearly) the ground floor man. Do it. Do it now.

 

the idea is great

but my ideas aren't nearly as funny as i think they are

and im blue collar bro

lol

 

So? That's an excuse, not a reason. You don't even necessarily need a DSLR, a $400 point-and-shoot will give you 1080p resolution these days, and a gorillapod, creatively applied, can work wonders as a camera base.

Run with it. At least write a script for the first episode. Make it a 5-minute teaser pilot, keep it small (no more than 4 people in it, less is more), and make the scenery and such easy to do on the cheap. Joo can doo eet! Ferreal.
