I might burn my televisionFollow

The very idea of this makes "Small Wonder" sound like Emmy-award winning programming.

Phil Hartman should rise from the grave and kick their asses. Plus, it'd be pretty cool just if Phil Hartman rose from the grave.

And, c'mon... Atlanta? Sure, they're cavemen but at least they're white cavemen!

On another note, today being the 25th anniversery of John Belushi's untimely death, I will be serving deli subs with a katana, dancing to disco on my breaks, joining a blues band on a mission from God, and last, but not least, joining a frat dressed in a toga.
RIP Belushi

I'll just be spiking up on speedballs and nailing Carrie Fisher.

I say go for it. When you later boast about nailing Carrie Fisher, just neglect to mention it wasn't three-point-five decades ago.

Ummm... does anyone have imagination anymore? I mean seriously, it's not like the bar has been set so high for sit-coms that they need to go mucking around annoying commercials for ideas.

Wait, wait, watch this... right now, I will come up with an original idea for a sitcom. Okay, you have a family, the dad is an average joe and a bit of a smart-aleck, the wife is way hotter than the dad should have reasonably been expected to land and she's way smarter than him too. They have a couple of kids.... a sex-crazed teenage son, and a young cute daughter probably around 7-8 years old who has a cute habit of misinterpreting what adults around her are saying. Then to really make it a sitcom, they have a wacky neighbor. But to top it all off and make it original, Ghengis Khan, was cursed by a druid and sent to the future, where he now lives with this family (and gets in crazy situations dealing with modern life), as he tries to find a way to break the curse and return to the past. And the working title... Gary and Ghengis.

See, originality... now someone write a pilot and I'll take a reasonable cut when ABC buys it.

Have Ghengis get polymorphed into a wise-cracking meerkat and we have a deal.

I dunno, if they carry over the writers from the commercials this show will be wittier than any other comedy on network tv, excluding Fear Factor and American Idol, of course.

Wait a minute isn't that Stuey?

Ghengis looks for a job. ("I see on your application that you conquered most of Asia and Europe")
Ghengis helps the young daughter with "show and tell" at school.
Ghengis helps the son with finding a girl.
Ghengis helps Gary land an overdue promotion at work.
Ghengis helps the wife try to win the neighborhood flower garden competition (****** old neighbor lady always won in the past).

Genghis and Gary switch jobs, and Gary discovers he's just not cut out for rape and pillage, and Genghis realizes being an accountant isn't as easy as he thought.

The wife drops a flower pot on Genghis's' head by mistake and he loses his memory. Hijinks ensue until near the end of the episode, Gary hits him in the head with a frying pan, restoring his memory completely.

For sweeps: 'A very special' episode where Genghis knocks up his airhead girlfriend and they struggle over the idea of abortion, with Ghengis starting out adamantly against it, but coming to realize it's really her choice near the end of the episode. He is about to tell her this when she reveals she misread the pregnancy test.

etc.

At what point can "Ghengis and Gary" be said to have jumped the shark?

When Ghengis marries the airhead girlfreind and her family is introduced as wacky in laws, with Jerry Stiller playing her father.

Maybe. Wedding + minor celebrity guest star.

I'm thinking it would be the introduction of Ghengis' arch rival Attila the Hun, played by Robert Downey Jr.

Walken would officiate, right? I'd watch that show.

Well, any show with Walken.
