I make sense to things

I’m looking into producing a half hour sitcom called “Watch Children” in which 20 something couples are raising small children. Sometimes they sit around and talk about how cute the children are or what latest adorable outfit was purchased recently, but most of the time they’re doing ridiculous things like trying to lift a couch above their heads or trying to find magnets powerful enough to clip onto each side of their heads and stay in place. I’m thinking it will have a Dawson’s Creek meets Friends kind of feel to it, but the humor will be funny and the mind blowing statements will actually be mind blowing, instead of just involving run on statements of superlingual nature.

If anyone has any suggestions or illusions of room for improvement, please advise:

you could make it an hour long sitcom. maybe use the magnum pi theme song and opening credits scene. if you really want it to succeed, perhaps you should have the humor be stale and replace the mind blowing statements with sentences containing the words gay, midget or have mercy.

i’d like a little more detail about the magnet finding plot part. are they always looking for magnets. where are they looking. do they hunt ebay or elsewhere online. or are they checking garbage bins and under staircases. do they search the woods at night by flashlight, strings playing xfiles style, keeping us on the edge of our seats. or are the magnets symbolic and the 20 something couples are on a quest to find the magnets in each others souls?

i like the couch lifting thing. who wouldn’t.

i find it damn funny when M-W.com tells me that the ‘word’ i’ve entered is NOT in the dictionary. maybe someone needs to challenge their monopoly to keep them up to par, and to keep them from changing the meaning of the word ‘monopoly’
