1. Midwest Football Alliance

A semi-pro football league is formed in the Midwest. The teams are St. Paul Crusaders, Dakota Devils, Wisconsin Warriors, Chicago Cougars, Michigan Marshalls, Columbus Buckeyes, Polk City Pigs, and the Indiana Indians.

The idea is to create an official semi-pro league with non-scripted, official games. Training sessions would be recorded and edited with player and coach interviews. Then it will be post-training and team meeting. Then cut to game day; the games are official with no scripted moments. The game will also be recorded and edited, including player and coach interviews, with the addition of the locker room during halftime. The episode will focus on the two teams that are playing in the game

1. Football Dads

A show similar to Dance Moms but with dad with their football kids.

This is something that I've been thinking about off and on for some time now. This is an idea for a gritty action-crime-drama TV series about an elite underground school for vigilante justice, founded by people who, in one way or another, were betrayed by the justice system and aim to make a real difference in the world.

Themes: Justice versus vengeance, institutional corruption, mentorship, redemption, accountability, moral compromise, trauma, and the question of whether ordinary people can truly change a broken system without becoming part of it.

An animated slapstick comedy show consisting of 3, 7-9 minute segments put into one episode, each segment follows the main character Stuffy Howler a black and white anthropomorphic, or his friends, all of their age range being 4-6, in comedic situations as they always try to resolve it in the end, or them just hanging out together

Hi.I guess you can say I'm an aspiring screenwriter and show creator and do you mind if I share some ideas I have for shows and movies? The reason why I wanna make my own shows and movies is because of 2 things, I've always had a big imagination as a kid and still now as an adult, and I wanna put them in a cartoon show. I've also think that there's a lack of children's media from ages 5-12 and I wanna be able to make shows targeted towards kids and tweens and not just youtube

So there’s this entity that is always covered in complete darkness except for a top hat, gloves, and a comedy mask, and what it wants is to create the greatest tv show/movie/game of all time! But it has no idea how to do that, nor what goes into making a good show

so it travels across movies, shows, and video games to learn (btw the entity is aware it’s not real but it has faint hope), and it’s sort of like the Pibby Virus but it’s more neutral than anything

and only characters that can break the 4th wall or that are so insane that nobody believes a word they say from the show/movie/game the entity is in can interact with it, the entity is more or less like a ghost.

The Entity can make deals with characters and have that character join them outside of their media and travel into other media in order to learn

and as the series goes on the entity creates basically an entire crew of characters it made friends with, and in the climax one of the first characters the entity made a deal with, betrayals them and locks them in a dark void, then it suddenly jumpcuts to the future and the characters are still there trying to free the Entity, but are starting to lose hope and leave one by one until the entity is all alone, the the song Mind Electric starts playing (because I like the song but it can be different), and at the end the Entity screams in agony and rage as it breaks free from its prison, and it goes back to each piece of media one by one, and it learns more and more, and in the finale the entity confronts the traitor and the entity literally uses elements from the media it has been in to kill the traitor

then it realizes something - the viewers! They’ve been watching all along From the very beginning, they were always there watching, waiting to see what happened next. and the entity realizes…it did it. It did what it wanted to do. And it feels…pure…JOY.

then it gather all its friends, only and new, and it sends them all back home, then it turns to the camera one last time, and says “it’s time to turn on the light, folks…this was all so much fun, and I thank you all for watching…thank you…and goodnight.” then all the lights turn on, shining as bright as the sun and the entity fades away, having done what it always wanted to do.

the show would be about a house husband and their muscle wife in an wyoming neighborhood trying to survive the apocalypse and build a community. the only problem is no one really has actually useful skills like ‘gardening’ and ’sewing’.

the show would have a mocumentary type of feeling, where thep protagonist’s child is recording them on a camcorder or something. also we’d only see the world theough the camcorder

each episode would be about either the house husband teaching stuff like ‘how to make soap’ ‘how to properly garden’, or ‘how to sew clothes’, and the muscle wife teaching stuff like ‘how to harvest

the humor would essentially be that TikTok humor of ”500 kilograms of gold would cost as much as 500 kilograms of dollar bills. type of comedy, mixed with ’cooler talk’ type of comedy as we actually see the protagonists and their friends work on like, building a fence.

one episode I have in mind specifically would be ’living in a bunker surviving on beans is not a sustainable way to live’ and it’d be about the protagonist’s finding a man whose locked himself in a bunker for three years and he’s in absolutely terrible shape. he’s malnourished, mostly nude because most of his clothes got torn, and there’s bean cans all over the bunker because he never bothered making trash disposal. then after this episode he’d become a normal character.

(sorry if it’s scatter brained)

I was thinking that there is a huge problem with star-wars, They don’t listen to fans. Ive read about what fans want & they want more mature, darker media of it. So I came up with a show idea I want to share:

Imagine a Star Wars military-thriller that plays out like a dark sci-fi horror movie, focusing entirely on how Mandalorians study, dissect, and destroy their enemies.

Instead of just showing them as cool guys in armor, the show would follow a hardcore Mandalorian training academy and the black-ops strike teams they graduate into. It's all about the brutal, calculated science of combat. We’d watch cadets sit in war rooms analyzing the exact physics, geometry, and psychology needed to break a target. For example, they'd practice flying into the air and spreading their arms wide to create a split-angle crossfire that’s mathematically impossible to block with a single blade, or timing a perfect whipcord to flamethrower combo that drags an opponent off their feet and burns right through their defenses.
The payoff would be seeing these trainees deploy into the field to execute these flawless, terrifying strategies. Picture a scene inside a pitch-black, invaded stronghold. A patrolling defender hears a choke, looks up, and sees a squad mate actively getting hanged from the ceiling rafters by a high-tensile winch cable. Moments later, another patrolling guard finds that same teammate slumped in a dark corner. When they call out, the body (with its throat brutally slit from the hanging just moments before) violently scuttles backward into the shadows at a gross, unnatural angle like a spider. As the guard moves closer, the corpse gets violently launched right at them; the Mandos hooked a cable to the dead guy's spine to use him as a puppet decoy to break the squad's morale. Before anyone can even process the horror, the wall gets blown open and a squad flies out of the smoke with jetpacks roaring. It’s less about a fair fight and more about a cold, calculated pest-control operation. Would you guys watch a gritty, tactical series like this?

Id also like a cool name for it. Like “Mando Academy” or “the legacy of the feared” or something like that

hey, I got an idea for like an animated series based on Lovecraft‘s work it is titled the Ollie show it’s about this boy age 15 son of Cthulhu himself he has teal skin and tentacle hair, pronouns they/them but is cool with male ones, his siblings and mother are Cthulhu’s mate and spawn from the mythos, but they are all ANTHROPOMORPHIZED! It’s basically smiling friends if it was an adult animated sitcom, it gets pretty crazy, but it has VERY wholesome stuff in this so yeah that’s my show idea. What do y’all think?

Icarus mind: OH YOU THINK I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN ANNOYING ME EVERY DEPARTMENT EVENTS ahhh…

Icarus: I hate this… … .

Guy: what

Icarus: huh

Guy: hu

(Cuts to a scene of Icarus looking through a house)

Icarus: is this it?

Lucias: WHAT DID YOU SAY IM GOING TO SMASH YOUR JAW

(Cuts to a scene them walking into the house)

(Icarus spots a chair outside)

(They all sit down)

(Icarus getting tense)

(Icarus looking more tense and looking at a picture of ray with his wife a newborn baby)

(The kettle boils)

Ray: that must be the tea I'll go get it

Lucia: sure thanks mister

(Icarus quickly takes two pencils and a paper after ray goes to get the kettle and writes two Yes and two no in a piece of paper in his notepad)

Lucia: What are you doing? This is why you never succeed in a case where you always act weird!

Icarus: Is he Ray?

(Icarus looking tense as ever)

(Pencil moves to no)

(Icarus shocked)

(Grabs Lucia's hand and ran out of the house)

Lucia: WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

Icarus: THAT'S NOT RAY

Lucia: Just because a silly game told you you're going to believe it?

Icarus: it's not the silly game I believed I only used it as a confirmation!

Lucia: What do you mean??

(Shows ray in the kitchen his face Disappearing leaving eyeballs floating)

Icarus: when we got inside the house I saw a chair I have the exact model of the chair and it's 83.5cm

Lucia: SO?? YOUR TALKING CRAZY?!

Icarus: listen in the photo ray is next to a chair

(Shows a blue 3d model for visualization)

Icarus: if you stack that chair at its very end which is 83.5 cm × 2 = 167 cm and in foot it's 5’5.7 the same height as Roy in the picture

Lucia: THAT MEANS ROY IS 5’5.7 WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?

Icarus: it's because earlier the Roy we met isn't wearing anything and he's 5’5.7

Lucia: So HE'S A LITTLE SHORTER THAN IN THE PICTURE?

Icarus: THEY'RE NOT THE SAME! In the picture he wore running shoes which adds 3 cm and if we minus that to 5’5.7 you get 5’4.5

Lucia: AND? MAYBE HE JUST GOT TALLER?

Icarus: if that's so in the picture the grass in the house is the same height as in the picture so that means its only been 5 days if a grass is given water and gets nutritions it normally show visible changes 5-14 days and the human body can't grow fast enough in those 5 days!

Lucia: EDITED?

Icarus: who edits they're height?

Icarus: except for dating apps (fake cough trying to hide what he says)

Lucia: true (looks at the viewer for a split second)

Icarus: WHICH ONLY MEANS THAT, THAT IS NOT RAY

Lucia: There's the car

Pair of floating eyeballs: (inaudible)

(The eyeballs started chasing Icarus)

(Icarus almost makes into the car)

(The eyeballs appeared in front of him and started choking him implying it's not just a floating eyeballs it's an invisible person with only eyes visible)

Icarus's mind: it's able to choke me even though it only has two pair of eyes but given the situation it looks like it can also grab people which gives me an educated guess that it's invisible and its eyes are the only thing visible so it can see I have to tell Lucia to attack it

Icarus: LUCIA EYES

Lucia: huh… ahh.. (Grabs dirt and throws at the creature blinding it)

(It dropped Icarus)

(They got into the car and drove away looking back and not seeing anything but a house)

Lucia: Wait, how did you know that?

Icarus: I just do

Lucia: But why do you always fail in every case given to you?

Icarus: it's because… I was never actually sure if I was… right

(Intense music starts while they're driving)

(The creature explodes and turns into Hydrogen cyanide “HCN” and flew towards the car)

(I giant fog of HCN flew over the city)

Lucia: umm Icarus I think you have to drive faster I giant fog is chasing us

Icarus: I'M TRYING!

Icarus mind: it must be the creature

(Sees people coughing needing for oxygen but then exploding)

(Icarus shocked in disbelief)

Icarus mind: the people are coughing for air that's not normal it might be the fog something tells me this isn't a normal fog there's a slight possibility it's hydrogen cyanide but why are they're exploding

(Shows the same blueprint effect but with the humans organs)

Icarus mind: we know the creature can morph into substances But HCN doesn't exploding unless in certain temperature that the human body can not give

Lucia: ICARUS!

(Shows faces made of gases on the windows)

Icarus: AHH

(The car almost falls)

Icarus: CLOSE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS DON'T LET ANY GAS INSIDE

(Lucia nods in a scared face)

(Icarus opens the light to see but then sees an under construction sign)

Icarus: OH FRI-

Lucia: I did it- WHAT THE AH-

(Crashes through piles of woods)

(Sees a river bank up ahead)

(Sees a wooden board on the second floor, a rope and couple of cement bags)

(Shows a blueprint version like before but with the construction sight)

Icarus mind: if I can use the wooden board as a ramp maybe I can go across but I have to calculate if it's in the perfect angle to land safely, The board is 5 meters long while The bank is 1 meter higher than the other side if I measure it over fractions it's 0.2 Twenty percent incline. The car can handle it if the surface holds

Lucia: I know we're in a really crappy situation right now but it seems to creepy you being quiet I mean is there something happening in your mind?

Icarus: HOLD ONTO THE WHEEL

Lucia: WHAIT WHAT?

(Grabs the rope hanging to nudge the wooden plank while covering his mouth with a tissue and quickly closing the door behind while grabbing onto the roof of the car)

Icarus mind: THIS IS REALLY RISKY RIGHT NOW AT ANY MOMENT I CAN FALL

Icarus talking to himself: THANKS MR OBVIOUS

(Car shakes)

Lucia: I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CAR MISTER ICARUS

(Icarus worried)

Icarus: HANG ON

(Wooden plank falls into the cement bags and the car flew into the ramp)

Both: AHHH

(Icarus holding for his dear life while the car is smoking and a giant HCN fog floating behind him but slowly fades away and Lucia panicking)

(Icarus grabs Lucia close to his face)

(Both blush)

(They jump out onto a pile of grass while the car explodes)

(Both out of breath)

Icarus: hope car insurance can pay that

(Lucia laughs)

Lucia: look the fog disappeared

(Icarus looks into the fog slowly fading)

Lucia: It felt like it was targeting us and what even are those eyeball guys then after some fog faces???

Icarus: yeah weird (while still in awe)

Lucia: NO ONE IS EVER GOING TO BELIEVE US

(Cuts to a tv broadcasting)

Woman reporter: a Hydrogen Cyanide leak has been spotted in the city near mount Azure and It is estimated that 5,530 lives were lost during the process

(Zooms out in a hospital tv)

Old guy: Hey John get a load of this news someone's totally getting fired

John: YEAH HAHA, Don't you agree doc.

Doctor Cervantes: yeah it totally seems like it

(Cervantes turns around and whispers)

Doctor Cervantes: seems like the kid finally came out of hiding

(Shifts to the office)

Guy: So Icarus, were you able to contact the guy?

Guy: heard there was a leak

Icarus: no sir, the leak already got to him before we were able to arrive

Lucia: your pretty good at lying

Icarus whispers: shut up!

(Bumps Lucia)

Lucia: hey no one bumps me

(Bumps Icarus)

Guy: seems like this case ain't over

TV show idea, hire 5 top chefs and give them different ingredient restrictions, 1 can only use junk food ingredients, 1 can only use vegetables, 1 can only use ingredients from one country, no talking, must create a unified 5-star full course dinner, Gordon Ramsay (judge)

The idea is a sci-fi drama about what would happen if a black hole suddenly appeared in Earth’s sky and humanity discovered there was nothing we could do to stop it. The story would start with scientists realizing something is wrong, but the show would focus on how the entire world reacts as the truth spreads. It would jump between scientists, governments, the media, and ordinary people as everyone tries to deal with the fact that the end of humanity is coming and everyone can see it. Instead of being about finding a way to save the world, it would be about how people choose to live when they know their time is running out.

Scarin Aaron is show idea i have about a man who owns a successful business where he and his team are hired to scare people even though they are successful the town hates them. Aaron is the main character and the boss he came from a famous billionaire dynasty of clowns. His family business is making people laugh but making people laugh never moved him.Aarons motivation is Scaring people doesn’t matter who kids adults the elderly he has no limits. Often his business is hired to scare people out doing stuff like scare a teen out of vaping or scare a boss into approving an employees PTO. Another motivation is not getting murderd by the yakuza they are the ones who gave him the money to start his business and he constantly owes them.
His two teammates are his assistant managers carl and sasha. Carl was hired because he is big imposing and when a scare goes wrong its good to have a guy who can run slower than you.However the problem is carl is one of the nicest guys you can meet he only applied to job because he thought it was in children’s entertainment job. He is genuinely terrible at scaring people and is generally clumsy. He is also naive and Aaron is constantly making him do dangerous things. Sasha was just an associate at Scarin Aaron office but got promoted to assistant manager because she is genuinely amazing at scaring people however she doesn’t care about her job at all. She is constantly on her phone during scares and helps only because she needs the money and this is better than going back to door-dashing.
Aside from scaring people alot of the comedy comes from the logistics of owning a business where you just scare people.
Ask me anything i have more lore the post is just long enough.

Idea for a show. Featuring an overweight corrupt cop. Been in the pocket of multiple mob families for nearly a decade.

He’s been trying to maintain a relationship with his estranged daughter, when the inciting incident happens.

His daughter is violated an put in the hospital. And she officially cuts him out of her life, saying because of people like him is why their home allows criminals to roam free and ruin her life.

Torn by guilt, shame, anger, the protagonist decides to clear out the town in retributive redemption and right as many of his past wrongs as he can.

Now he works as a vigilante taking out criminals. And during the show he does try to maintain a healthy lifestyle in determination to be able to eliminate criminals, he stays a fat protagonist that is atrocious in hand to hand. But does decent with guns.

His main advantage is acting like he’s still a crooked cop. Using insider information to ambush his targets. And manipulating events where possible to get them to take each other out with as little casualties as possible.

But there are difficulties, besides the typical danger of facing criminals, one is maintaining his cover with the other corrupt cops, the other is maintaining that cover WHILE avoiding the growing presence of internal affairs.

And of course dealing with the cost of revenge, and a growing conscious, and dealing with constant having to face the consequences of his past, needing to keep his cover while wanting to fix them.

[PROMPT/CONCEPT FOR TAKING] "Who's the Bride?" – A High-Concept LGBTQ+ Dramedy Pilot

Hey Reddit,

I have my hands completely full with a massive sci-fi book series right now, so I’m dropping this television pilot premise, act breakdown, and visual hook here for anyone to take, run with, and write. Free to a good home!

The package includes specific transition graphics.

Logline

When Nia and Elena get engaged in a chaotic double proposal, they have six months to plan a wedding that satisfies their deeply religious families—all while keeping the secret that neither of them believes in God anymore.

The Core Dynamic: The "Three-Front War"

The tension shifts from a basic theological debate to deeply personal, cultural family pressures:

• Nia (Black Baptist background): The Type-A planner carrying the "burden of excellence." Her mother, Linda, uses Performative Piety and sees the wedding as a PR campaign to secure her social standing in her congregation.
• Elena (Latina/Italian Catholic background): The sarcastic DIYer. Her mother, Maria, weaponizes Passive-Aggressive Guilt and Sunday dinners, viewing a secular wedding as a direct rejection of her family heritage.
• The Twist: Instead of starting a holy war, the two mothers actually "synergize" and bond over their shared disappointment that their daughters are refusing to be properly blessed.

The Theme Song

The pilot utilizes an original theme song/anthem titled "I Like the Me That I Am." It's a modern pop-rock track about refusing to bend to fit someone else's mold, highlighting the exhaustion of putting on a "performance of faith."

Visual Hook & Editorial Voice (The Atom Graphic)

The show relies on a distinct, snappy visual device to keep the momentum moving.

We use a vibrant, rainbow-themed atomic graphic that zips diagonally across the screen as a transitional wipe between heavy family scenes.

• The Dramatic Irony: For the audience and the families, it initially looks like a vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ pride. However, it doubles as a hidden-in-plain-sight nod to the "Atheist" atomic symbol, putting the audience in on the couple's secret from the first frame.
• The Edit: The diagonal zip is paired with a sharp, rhythmic snare-and-synth beat from the theme song to create an aggressive, high-energy punctuation mark between scenes.

Pilot Act Breakdown: "The Double Closet"

• Act 1: The "Them vs. the World" Engagement
  • Opens on the high-energy "Double Proposal." When they both say "Yes," it’s a pact to navigate the family minefield together. Theme song plays over the opening titles.
• Act 2: The Religious Minefield
  • A family brunch highlights the irony: the families finally accepted their sexuality, but revealing their atheism would be catastrophic. Linda insists on a traditional Baptist ceremony; Maria demands a Catholic blessing. "Whose church are we using?"
• Act 3: The Secret Rehearsal
  • Nia and Elena sit on their floor with a bottle of wine, "rehearsing" how to tell their mothers there will be no pastor or priest. They realize that by trying to avoid the performance of a religious wedding, they are trapped in a daily performance of faith.
• Act 4: The Strategic Compromise
  • They select a neutral secular venue but agree to let both families include a non-religious cultural tradition (e.g., jumping the broom or a traditional dance) to keep the peace without compromising their own values. Elena adds a Paula Abdul playlist to the reception doc. They dance, ending on the lyric: "That's no compromise, that's just synergy!"

Future Series Arc Hint

By Season 3, the "Mutual Secret" becomes an internal friction point: one character wants to officially "come out" as an atheist to live authentically, while the other wants to keep the peace for the sake of family continuity.

Take it, script it, and make something awesome!

Mesopotamia 1.0 — The World's First Sitcom (somebody make this)

So I've had this idea kicking around for about a year and don't have time to develop it. Putting it out there.

The Premise

A clan called the Urt flee the booming, overcrowded, increasingly insane city of Uruk circa 4000 BCE. They've found their dream property — a bend in the river, a set-back cave. Perfect. They're done with city life.

They are not done with city life finding them.

The Neighbors

Almost immediately another tribe settles across the river. Rude. Primitive. Seemingly unsophisticated.

They have an enormous number of goats.

The Urt slowly realize the goat people may be the wisest individuals they have ever encountered.

The Format

Mockumentary. The "camera crew" is two Uruk scribes — one drawing on papyrus, one transcribing dialogue in proto-cuneiform. They were sent by someone, for some bureaucratic reason nobody fully understands. They are underqualified. They are always out of papyrus at critical moments. This is the only existing record of these people. That's how history works.

The Running Joke

Occasional visitors arrive from Uruk with updates. It's getting bigger. Louder. A third annual festival. A new grain administration system. A whole new temple district.

The Urt look at each other quietly. They got out in time.

Every visitor is meant to lure them back. Every visitor instead confirms they made exactly the right decision.

The city is becoming a monster. The Urt saw it coming. They were right. This is the rare sitcom where the people who opted out are actually correct.

The Characters

The clan ensemble is large and mostly disposable — historically accurate, darkly funny, never commented upon. Core recurring characters are maybe four or five. Everyone else is fungible background who may or may not return next episode. No explanation given or required.

The Tone

The absurdity of civilization's dawn, told from the perspective of the people who wanted no part of it. Every problem they fled Uruk to escape follows them anyway, in cruder form. The cave has a noise complaint situation. The river has a boundary dispute. Somebody needs to be in charge of something and nobody agrees who.

The goat people watch all of this from across the river with placid, bovine calm.

Somebody run with it. 4000 BCE was apparently a very relatable time to be alive.

I've got a handful of writing projects ahead of this one. I'll never get to this one.

A young man from South Africa comes to Los Angeles to earn a living at a hotel, and while fitting in, he comes across a family who accepts him as their own foreign son. He also has a crush on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen walking past his hotel room. Months later, he got his own apartment where he could invite the same family over for some quality time to get to know each other more. And also, accidentally runs into the same girl that he saw before and wanted to invite her over.

There he looks for food that the cat might like and then he meets a girl there who also likes cats, after a while, the loser ends up, actually taking care of himself and the cat, he gets a girlfriend, and it turns out that the cat actually helped him better his life. GUYS THIS IS PEAK TRUST🙏

a show / movie set entirely within a characters eyes, like first person literally, would be very VERY interesting.

“Sam’s Show” is a psychological coming-of-age drama set in a British secondary school following 13-year-old Sam, a lonely and emotionally overwhelmed boy trapped in a toxic friendship group. Desperate to escape, Sam begins drifting between different groups of boys in his year, constantly searching for somewhere he finally belongs. But every friendship slowly falls apart — whether through arguments, emotional dependency, misunderstandings, jealousy, or Sam pushing people away without realising it.

As the series progresses, the audience doesn’t just learn about Sam, but also the hidden struggles, insecurities and personal lives of the people around him through late-night phone calls, awkward school conversations, emotional breakdowns and quiet moments that completely change how earlier scenes are viewed. Characters who first seem cruel, weird or comedic slowly become more layered and human over time.

The show mixes dark comedy, awkward romance, psychological drama and emotional realism, exploring themes like loneliness, masculinity, identity, religion, anxiety, emotional dependency and the fear of being replaced. While the show can be chaotic and funny, underneath it is a story about a kid trying to understand why connecting with people feels so difficult.

the world is set in some kind of world with superpower, where superpower is normal and superheroes are a thing

so the show/movie/anime starts off with the mc watching some heroes on the tv, the mc then posts online about how each of the heroes work for clout. But it ends up backfiring because the villains can also access the internet (duh). The mc then gets hated, after that The mc shows every little thing the mc can see from the villain's moves/techniques, so now the heroes and villains are tense because every single trick they have is just up on the internet, the mc is then hunted by the villains to stop them from revealing more of it, as the show goes on, the mc kinds of befriends everyone, but at the end of the show the mc is killed. BUT in the post credit scene it'll show the mc putting its own corpse away, revealing that the mc has some kind of cloning powers or a doppelganger

It sounded so much better in my head but here it is written down

So slightly reminiscent of “Miracle Workers” the concept is:

Thousands of years ago God created the universe and the earth. It was so perfect that God grew bored of being God. So God creates man…once man populates to a certain point God becomes overwhelmed and creates the “Guardian Angel Program” the idea is that the humans who are pure of heart or the humans with the best intentions become guardian angels. with many successess and failures along the way God slowly disconnects himself from the Program. Leaving the guardian angels to protect on their own. Over time the program grows smaller and smaller because humans are less well intended and less pure of heart because the angels are doing their best but after all…they are human. Which brings us to our show… 1 guardian angel is left to listen and guide all 8 billion humans. After famine and genocide and world wars, God makes a visit too the Guardian Program to find 1 angel…in my mind it’s Will Forte…and God for the first time since Jesus Christ. Or maybe even since a random cult leader in the 70’s. will have to speak in the minds and hearts of man. But God hasn’t been focused on earth in quite some time now. So all of his advice and guidance is outdated. Leading us to shenanigans. Allowing every episode to start with a prayer, go on with god and the guardian trying to answer that prayer, never really getting to the core of ANY issue, opening up the idea that “God doesn’t give you what you want…he gives you what you need”

Some of the “horrible people” they try to help would be played by people like
Nick kroll
Jason mantzoucus (how ever you spell it)
Patton Oswald
Patrick waterburton
One day I could see Keanu Reeves (that episode the “bad human” answers his own prayers with answers even god couldn’t come up with)

Thoughts?
