Hi Bruce,
Actually, most of the ideas I have stem from a
plethora of interactions with my wife's family- lots
of colorful characters, lots of divorces, remarriages,
uncles that she doesnt claim... and taken from the POV
of the husband who marries into this family-- the
great thing is that there is no end to seriously funny
stuff - I dont have to make up any of it, Im living
it... Kind of a play on the theme "you marry the woman
not her family....yeah right!"
Ive also thought about a sit com that takes place in a
factory -- again stories from my real life -- for
instance, the local paper prints a page called "the
county's most wanted" and displays pictures of local
people who are wanted for a variety of things.. I
bring the paper in and discover that half of them are
working for me... Kind of a taxi-esque type series.
I know Im nuts, but when I share these things with
people, they laugh and tell me that I ought to make it
into a tv show.... so here I am.
