A show where every week Jeff Goldblum shows up on set having received absolutely no instruction or script and just has to react to whatever is going on.

It could be a period drama one week and a scifi thriller the next, and he just has to roll with it.

This guy.

An odd couple comedy of Bin Laden living in New York post 911 with his ultra lib CIA handler.

Leftist prestige drama in the vein of Andor about the German peasants war, nobles are bastards, Martin Luther a piece of shit, Thomas Muentzer and Florian Geyer are cool AF.

Copaganda drama with pop-up analysis from real legal experts. Includes corny Blind Date style graphics and bell that goes off every time Constitutional rights are violated.

Shark Tank, but the panel is four minimum wage workers and the guests are VCs who have to justify their current wealth.

A McLaughlin Group style panel discussion but one guest each week is an intentional novelty (reads ChatGPT responses verbatim, foreigner with know knowledge of local politics making it up on the fly, Marjorie Taylor Greene)

South Sesame Street, from the writers of The Wire.

An anthology series set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. Each episode is the story has travelling warriors taking their ease by the fire at night. One of them tells a story. It won’t matter that the stories have no continuity or even need to have the same tone, just that they’re exciting tales of glory.

Making the end-of-season stinger I want could be expensive from a salary perspective, though. Imagine this.

The last episode of the first season. The warrior telling the story of the episode finishes. His audience gives nods of respect for the expert telling of an epic tale. The warrior turns to a hooded figure on his right who hasn’t said a word. The warrior says “Speak, friend. Have you any stories worthy of these men?”

And the hooded figure raises his head, and it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger smirking.

Nobody needs to make any more shows until someone makes that show about rick moranis as the gatekeeper to hell that got pitched to adult swim a few years ago and then they did nothing with

Joe Rogan is… mandela.

Pathfinder: the series. It’s just the Iconics going through the canon routes of APs. Would be a lot faster than playing through them.

I want basically undercover boss, but not undercover and with rock solid legal contracts preventing retaliation. Make their CEOs do the shit work while they are hazed by low level employees and pelted with rocks.

I didn’t even know you could fly those things

Adapted from an idea I had for a video game: medieval fantasy setting, our protagonist is a local hero renowned for using his array of rare, magical weapons to defeat monsters and thus has the adoration of the locals and the king (who, for the purposes of the show, is one of those title rich money poor nobles). However the back story is that he was a scruffy commoner who had to take out a shit ton of debt from loan sharks to be able to afford his armory and live out his dream of being the chosen one hero.

So the episodes focus on him trying to balance between keeping up his appearances, fight the monsters, not get his kneecaps broken by the loan sharks, and clandestinely doing dirty jobs that get him enough gold to keep the loan sharks at bay but would ruin his reputation if the peasants and nobles found out.

Political drama where we follow an AOC like young Congresswoman but she’s actually assisting a revolutionary socialist group (you don’t say the word socialist so it can actually get on air). The villain is a billionaire who used to be part of the Republican administration but now runs a secret cabal behind the scenes. Her handler/mentor is her priest, Irish Catholic, who we learn got his start helping the IRA in the 80s and has a personal vendetta to assassinate pedo priests. The main character is constantly torn between pushing reform measures through legitimate channels and helping her revolutionary friends with critical intel. Of course the reformist approach never works and the billionaire cabal gains more power so she takes more extreme measures. This coincides with her personal beef with her priest who is objectively correct in taking direct action against US hegemony, but also kinda groomed her since she was a teenager to lead this double life as a politician and a revolutionary. Also her love interest is a former US marine or some shit who completely hates the military and now helps assassinate members of the billionaire cabal and also occasionally cops/KKK.

HOUSE HIDERS!

The idea of the show is I break into people’s houses and see how long I can live there without anyone noticing. The sooner the family finds me the bigger a prize they get!

“Cal arts” PBS show about Fred Hampton and the Panthers. Teaching kids about their mission, values, and impact.
