The World's First Based TV Comedy
The World's First Based TV Comedy
Read the pilot episode here!
In response to the deeply unfunny and utterly ret*rded legal bumblings of the comically rotund far-left fanatic in New York City today, I am doing something a little different.
Alvin Bragg’s spittle-flecked goatee—which looks hilariously tiny on his enormously bejowled face—is funny. I chuckle at the site of him. He But arresting political opponents to stop them from winning is not.
Some of you may already know about our little comedy project. This was my crazy idea: what if there was a regular TV sitcom, a family show, like the ones set in the living room with the couch facing the studio audience—but make it about people like you and me. A show that could let us mock and skewer “wokeness” in all its forms, but in a light, funny way suitable for all audiences. A show where people on the right are not evil bad guys, but just what they are in real life—regular people trying to survive the Current Difficult Conditions. You know who you are!
Some of you may have purchased the paperback version of the script, which was available on Amazon last year for a short time. (It got 100% 5-star reviews, in case you were wondering). We actually sold quite a few copies!
As far as I know, that was the first time anyone published an un-produced television pilot.
The Whites, Episode 1: “Cancelled”
This is the script’s cover page:
What’s it about? In the pilot episode, every member of the White family in Huntington Beach, California is cancelled for various reasons—including their Trump-loving grandma, who just moved in with them after getting kicked out of The Villages in Florida. Hilarity ensues.
If you were not one of the lucky one who got a copy of the script, today is your lucky day! You can download the PDF below, keep reading:
Most TV Is Bad. Why Is Your Stupid Show So Good?
Oh, you don’t trust me? Sad!
Fine, here are a few reviews:
Why did we decide to write this, when there is so little hope of making it into a real TV show in our current entertainment hellscape?
Because this:
When the Roseanne show made its triumphant return in 2018 with a storyline around Roseanne the Trump supporter and her sister Jackie the woke Hillary supporter, the country went wild. It was a smash hit. Finally, at long last, someone on TV who looked like half the country!
18 million viewers—in 2018! Then Roseanne got cancelled for insulting Obama puppet master Valerie Jarrett, and Disney swung the ax, and that was that.
Folks, we have no choice but to take up the cross Roseanne was forced to abandon. (Disney even killed off the iconic character she created—by giving her an opioid overdose).
In order to outwit our enemies, subvert their agendas, and persuade others to join us, we are going to have to start being more entertaining than they are.
Edgy comedy has its place. Even I work blue sometimes. But we wanted to see if we could create a new sitcom that could step smartly into the same American cultural milieu paved by shows like Family Ties, Roseanne, and All in the Family. Shows that didn’t preach ideology, but dealt with the culture head on—and exploited it for laughs.
There is so much low-hanging cultural comedy fruit, there should be hundreds of shows like this on every streaming platform in the universe!
But so far, for some reason, there is just one. Ours.
And today it’s yours.
(In case you were wondering, yes, several of the largest “media empires” on the right found the script online and reached out to me. I will let you know if anyone decides to make this script into a show.)
