    How about 3 girls and 3 guys and they are fwends.

    I always thought armies could be exploited with a father ted type comedy, they have their ridicules traditions and weird world views. They need to be ridiculed.

    How Was Your Gay, Dear?

    A lighthearted farce involving two very unlikely flatmates, one a very camp, Atheist gay man and one a deeply Christian homophobe who just doesn't get the gay lifestyle. Hilarity ensues as the Christian homophobe learns how its okay to be gay and the Athetist homosexual learns life lessons from his seemingly stuffy flatmate.

    Of course you also have "Heil Honey, I'm Home" an honest-to-God sitcom with the premise of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun moving next door to a Jewish family.

    Sounds a bit like the Phil Silvers Show. It dates back to the late 1950s, but a movie version called Sgt. Bilko was made in 1996, starring Steve Martin, and it bombed badly.

    I had an idea for a sitcom set in a recording studio, where the staff have to deal with all kinds of nutters coming through the door. Singers who can't sing, egos larger than a Marshall stack, D-list celebs, kids with impossible dreams of stardom. The usual ...

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.
