action Hospital Star Trek space Trek dinosaur detective now that is about a detective in modern day who is a cloned dinosaurs dinosaur detective that's about a human detective who goes back to dinosaur times to solve dinosaur crimes closer michael Swaim vagina whisperer michael did you only bring titles yeah was that wrong sue me [ __ ] another idea and that's not an idea that's just another title if we're gonna come up with a TV show we can't just come up with titles oh no man coming up with the show will be the easy part all TV shows are basically the same [Music] dammit we're not even gonna come up with an actual show idea are we yeah you didn't see that coming I don't even bring any ideas gonna happen I don't know I mean Breaking Bad Game of Thrones Mad Men we are living in the new golden age of television 90% of shows that are called groundbreaking original are the same show it's a strong male anti hero's journey to redemption I mean the soprano started at all you got Tony Soprano a bad guy that you still liked because he ruled and everyone's just been re making that show ever since housewares is Tony Soprano in the Old West Walter White Tony Sparano a New Mexico instead of New Jersey same complicit blonde housewives saying suburban setting down draperies Tony Soprano if he used his penis instead of a gun to hide his dark secrets and will McAvoy is Tony Soprano in a news they were all dark conflicted characters most of them violence but they've got that soft side that makes them likable darren Sorkin delightful part I mean although you know Sorkin might actually be a better fit for the other 10% of HBO's programming entitled rich white people dealing with entitled rich white people problems that everyone else in the world wouldn't even classify as problem Sex in the City girls how to make it in America entourage motor runs out of weed the same day that he has to play a video game tournament there are a few exceptions years six-feet your real sex your Game of Thrones but in general those are the two types of shows that HBO makes not new TV it's HBO so let's pitch them our show a complicated vagina whisperer look if you really want to differentiate it from the other HBO series we'll just set it in a time period they haven't used yet the future the Civil War bad vagina whispers in the Civil War right damn okay yeah but they have Michael Mann and David Simon to make their shows they're not gonna listen to a bunch of internet comedy dicks and their sexy friends thank you thank you I would do Michael show on the USA Network with a few small tweet we're not doing Michaels show yeah you can't show vagina on basic cable may as well make it but whisper our violent aggressive antihero would just have to be watered down to a quirky charming guy with some kind twist monk quirky detective who twist has obsessive-compulsive disorder quirky detective who twist is a psychic who double twist psyche isn't actually a psychic diehard cork twist that's not a TV show guess I've only seen it on USA suits Courtney lawyer who twist is actually college dropout with a photographic memory and a suit show he's terrified of socialized TV characters don't care that he sweats so much okay so Dan's work is that he's socially broken if he were charming he'd have his own USA show all the USA protagonists are experts dan isn't an expert at anything thank you guys plus if we give it to USA they're just gonna make it some case of the week procedural I'd rather go straight sitcom than water down the vag Wiz note to self pitch vag whisp to Colgate what about CBS they have some of the most successful shows on television despite the fact that I don't think I've ever actually seen a single one CBS dramas are just [ __ ] TV for dumb people I mean their protagonists are all the same they're all aggressively inescapably good and they're bad guys are always drug dealers or pedophiles CBS doesn't want to confront their audience with the tough moral choices and our vagina whisper is edgier than that he's complicated or she's complicated Fox Fox is protagonists are edgy Jack Bauer house Gordon Ramsay they're just bad boys who are total [ __ ] except they're right all the time yeah but Fox has a hard time canceling their shows and he made their canceled good shows too early like Futurama Arrested Development or they keep shows on well past their shark jumping moments like the x-files or heroes or even helps we have each other oh we got each other oh we got each other about NBC what are they making oh really great comedies that nobody watches except people like us because we're elitist culture snobs out of touch with the common man UPN forget oh the network's man let's break some rules give people something they can't get anywhere else okay so our protagonist can't be a compelling antihero or a cookie specialist or a dumb father figure screw the protagonist altogether we'll have no protagonist so be like a like a family show no not a family show what other annoying things do mainstream TV shows have in common white people okay so no white we gotta have no most no white people and no annoying teenagers and no singing if you really wanted to separate it from the pack you'd change it up every single season go somewhere new keep it fresh keep people guessing we should make something totally different something that's about ideas instead of caring our characters are [ __ ] they're bug this show is about life it's about the human condition it's about America right people people on different sides of the law people that cross the socio-economic spectrum and they're all in the same place stuck together and they're learning without even realizing it that although they're very different deep down inside they're just the same is it we just make the wire [ __ ] yeah we made the wire damn it well the wires a good show I know I mean there's not you shouldn't be ashamed for coming up with the wire I know but nice if we'd made it first that's my pen granted obviously so wait you've only seen die hard on basic cable with commercials and censoring oh yeah yes what do you think Bruce Willis's catchphrases in that movie hippie by day Ricky Martin shocking that for my show idea hit me by day that's my TV dinosaur detective come on we went through the tools we vetoed two versions I have nine versions of dinosaurs Wow we want to go through yes right I'm gonna have to run in my car and get some figurines hey um that's for thanks for watching our video I can heal subscribe and and leave a
