SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

Jimmy3K's Pitch For the Fall Lineup and the New Renaissance of Network Television.

Here are some show ideas I'm looking to pitch, you may think "Jim, why would any television studio want to rekindle the beloved 1970's idiom of television shows when there's so much left to do with steroid infused italians who slap each other with hot olive oil on the boardwalk?" or you may think "Jim, he's off his medication again and sends us these disturbing emails" (both are right btw) so without further adieu: 

McSquid and Wife:
She is a southern debutante that married outside species much to the dismay of her traditional parents (Colonel Jefferson Flapjacks  jr. and Mammy LaRue) 
He's a crime solving squid who can only solve crimes that happened in the sea!
Together they are a land based and sea dwelling crime solving couple everyone wants at their next soirĂ©e! 
There's also a giant clam named Red and he's street wise and calls everyone "Jive Sucka", he also insists he never sees anything since he lacks eyes.
Their neighbors are ultra conservative Orthodox Jews (Chiam and Yahodal Rothman), who never fail to tell them they look like a very nice couple when they meet in the elevator, they also like the idea of s squid for a neighbor since he has 30 foot limbs and can switch every light in the apartment at the same time at the high holy days.

Vast Albert:
A anime version of Bill Cosby's classic animated and often fictionalized childhood (Who really hung out with a guy who's head was a tortoise shell, really/), the show is hosted by noted Astrophysicist Nell DeGrasse Tyson who uses his understanding of physics on a galactic scale to describe just how enormous Albert is. Each episode ends with Alberts speech impeded little brother calling someone an asshole.

Other titles I'm working on:
Yea, They Were Totally Gay: Paul Lynde ! Waylon Flowers and Madame! Sandy Duncan and a box of goddamn Wheat Thins. A show pointing out gay entertainers the Nationalist Socialist Party pointed out anyone threatening to pollute their pure white bloodline of their perfected master race vision since pointing that shit out never seems to be the centerpiece of family fights for generations.

David Bowie's Cocaine Fueled Variety Hour: Yea, that cars been parked there a long time even if it is night and its owned by the same people who live in the house Hey man stop fucking looking, your head is like a melon, someone's probably in that car taking pictures right now!f Fuck it's DEA! Stop looking out the goddamn window already we only have three packs of cigarettes left and they need to last the next 45 minutes. I cut this with kitchen cleanser by-the-way, thats why your pores are bleeding.

Old men chasing around girls in panties, it will be big in England and they'll bring it here after the fat funny guy is involved in a sex related fatality with a member of the royal family.
