So I was watching some Cheers reruns, as any eligible bachelor does on a Sunday, and was thinking about how they nailed real life Boston in the 80s. Today, most of our sitcom characters live on reality shows. 20 years ago The Kardashians would be a multicam comedy on CBS. So I got to thinking, and put together a list of 7 real life people who deserve their own sitcom. Oh also I’m doing all of the sitcoms in the voice of the guy who does the trailer. So these are trailers. K that’s it.
7. THE OBAMAS
HE’s just a dad trying to raise a family. Until one day…he becomes…THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. Now he’s got to manage several unstable nuclear powers around the globe, AND help with his daughter’s science fair project!? Good thing Uncle Joe "Joe" Biden is there to keep things interesting! Sounds to me like he needs a commander in relief! Coming this fall to FOX.
6. KANYE WEST
This summer. FOX animation domination gets wacky. As Kanye and Kim go from the big time to the small screen! Anything can happen in this cartoon, when the celebrity couple moves to a quiet Virginia town and realize that you can take the douchebag out of LA, but you can’t take the LA out of the douchebag. Also stars Jane Lynch as TMZ’s Harvey Levin!
5. PAULY SHORE
He was on top of the world. Movies, TV, HBO specials. Now he’s a small business owner trying to have a second chance. This fall, CBS sends Pauly Shore…to SOMALIA! What happens in Somalia, stays out of most Western Media outlets. Also look for Andy Dick goes to Afghanistan, coming mid-season.
4. JEREMY LIN
The story of a ball player and his family. Linding A Hand! (Cue theme song) When the water is rough, and the storm is long, he’s LINDING A HAAANNND! When you need some help, from a little dude, he’s LINDING A HAAANNND. Linding a HAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDD! Linding a Hand is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
3. KIM JONG UN
I see this one as a family sitcom about Kim and his 10 secret illegitimate daughters. Every time he makes a threat because of their bad behavior, they just stair at him and roll their eyes, "SUUURE dad, we’re totally ‘grounded’. You TOTALLY have discipline that can reach across the ocean and attack us…"
2. MARK ZUCKERBERG
It’s The King of Queens in Silicon Valley. Zuckerberg has to deal with being a low level billionaire making B-rate cell phones and getting hazed by Bill Gates. Meanwhile his stern but caring wife has to smack his head into place. It’s rough, but they love each other…
1. ALL OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Bill Belichick is the stern, Republican father. Gronkowski is the always-in-trouble rebellious teen. And Tom Brady is the overly caring mom. It’ll run for 6 seasons and a movie. #BradyBunch
