      Who modded this as funny? I think it's rather informative.

    Lets hope it's something like Big Brother, except it's entirely up to the viewers to furnish, entertain, and otherwise screw with them.

    I'm voting for no doors on the bathrooms, and too many pets.

  3. Great pitch by aziraphale · · Score: 5, Funny

    "The original show concept blended puppetry with animation and was set in feudal Japan but dealt with modern-day suburban situations."

    Man, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in that pitch meeting.

    Exec 1 - 'I dunno about this feudal Japan idea. and... puppets?'
    Exec 2 - 'You know, our research shows, most Fox viewers live in suburbs - we need something more suburban'
    Exec 1 - 'You're right. We need an angle.'
    Exec 2 - 'Can we deal with modern suburban issues in a feudal Japanese setting?'
    Producer (steam coming out of ears) - 'I guess so, if it means you'll commission the show'
    Exec 1 - 'I feel a daytime Emmy coming on...'
    Exec 2 - 'High Five!'

    Sometimes, I wonder why the entire planet hasn't already been sucked into the bottomless void between TV executives' ears.
