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"

Parks and Recreation: "What if we combined West Wing with The Office"
Steven Universe: "What about a happy cartoon that repeatedly makes you cry"
Person of Interest: "Wouldn't it be hilarious if, get this, the government was spying on everyone? Pfft, like that would ever happen."
The Good Place: "What if we took a first year moral philosophy course and made it funny and endearing?" ' Leverage: "Everyone hates rich people right? Let's get some criminals (but funny criminals, not the bad criminals) to rob them."

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"

Lost: "Sorry, what was the point of that again?" The Gifted: "What if interesting super-powers were largely ignored for long-winded family arguments?" Star Trek: Discovery: "What if Dark Matter, but Star Trek?" Lucifer: "Crime fighting devil, it all makes sense, don't overthink it" (admittedly not mine, but in fact by Tom Ellis) Inhumans: "Ha ha ha ha ha. No" Mr Robot: "?"

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?

Fox News: What if Leni Riefenstahl was right? The Crown: What if the monarchy, but EastEnders? Arrow: Muscular man shirtlessly solves crime problem by repeatedly making the same mistakes, both contemporaneously and in flashback, for six goddamned seasons Fresh Off The Boat: What if Modern Family, but ethnic? Blackish: What if Modern Family, but ethnic? The Real O'Neals: What if Modern Family, but gay?

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?
