Guess the one line pitch some executive made for your favorite TV show or movie.
My suggestions:
Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23: "Holly Golightly's Roommate"
Riverdale: "Twin Peaks High School"

It's hard to be very effective when you only have one pitch, but, OK, I'll do my best:
Eastbound & Down: "Two-seam fastball"

Star Trek: Discovery: "What if Dark Matter, but Star Trek?" Dark Matter: "What if Star Trek, but Canada?" I am LOLing at both of these! The Flash: What if "The Fastest Man on Earth" was constantly running into people faster than him, couldn't dodge gunshots from people with normal speed, and he's also a goddamn idiot? |

The Big Bang Theory: Let's give a character the worst qualities of Frasier Crane and Ross Geller, and build a sitcom around him!
Two and a Half Men: Sex jokes and pre-teens!
House of Cards: I'm pretty sure Kevin Spacey can play heterosexual and Southern. We know he can play perverted.
The King of Queens/Still Standing/According to Jim: What if we pair a fat guy with a hot wife?
Kevin Can Wait: What if we pair a fat guy with a hot wife--and then kill her off?
