    Block-ish- Download yourself into exact copy of minecraft and discover that we're all made from the same bits and pieces.

    Better Ball Saul
    - Saul Goodman has always wanted to be in the game. Who knew he would be the one to fix it? Special guest appearances by Tom Brady and Rob Manfred. Hey Adam Silver, do they have ref unis in size 40?

    Pig Bang Theory- 5 teaching assistants from Alabama Community College use their learnins about beginning life to explore the mysteries of nature and the universe. Noble Prize? Aint nuthin noble bout ****in pigs liberal media!

    Top Rear- There isn't a road less traveled with MVP-to be James Harden. Watch his expert take on the top high end performance models as he give ride rides and see if they make his grade. I like thinking big. There's no thot too big to handle!

    My so called Lift - A BBC limited run reality series in which a cute artsy girl propositions young men into sexual acts when the elevator gets stuck. Just before each lad gets ready to unbuckle his trousers, James Cordon walks through the opening doors, singing some stupid song like he does. Split screen with the girlfriend cam for sweeps.

    Six Beet Under - Following the lives of six beets from planting to harvest. Here's the catch; the beets have no idea they're being filmed.

    Perfect Stringers - A spinoff of the Wire and Perfect Strangers in which (spoiler) Stringer Bell survives the shooting, cuts a deal with the feds and gets put on the witness protection program. Balki Bartokomous, fresh off of murdering cousin Larry, lives next door and ostensibly plays the conventional crazy neighbor role. Stringer Bell starts to ask questions about Balki's past but is only met with denials and distractions; "Don't be ridiculous" and "Let's do the dance of joy"

    F_iends - A spiritual cousin to 'What We Do in the Shadows', Fiends follows 'flatmates' in New York, 'Documentary-style', who share a block of a few apartments in the same building. One is a vampire, one is a werewolf, there's a zombie, one made of plants who watches far too much television, and newly-moved-in Bob, who hails from Laguna Blanco. All of these friends must deal with a world they don't really understand, jobs, each other, and the constant struggle to keep their identities a secret, especially from Herman, the landlord.

    America is a land of transformation. If you don’t fit in, change your clothes, your personality; heck you can even change your skin tone, and eventually you’ll find a hole for your peg. But if you a block family, yo perpendicular ass betta find some white – haha – I mean right angles, where yo ass can fit in.

    Dork Shadows -- Not all vampires were turned as suave and experienced adults. Some were bitten in their pubescent dork stage. This vampire soap-opera follows the life of Barney Collins through decades of ever-changing trends and fads, that he struggles to keep up with, in his on-going attempts to get girls to like him.

    Co-starring Matthew McConaughey as his girl-chasing, big brother.

    [​IMG]

    A CFnet version of Dork Shadows would chronicle the posting history of What, from shy lurker to awkward thread starter, to showing the world he's on @moestavern19 level (in his mind).

    Dork and Mindy comes to mind, too

    Homo Improvement- From the creators of Queer Eye, this Detroit sitcom follows the journeys of Tim "Toolman" Taylor and his family hosting a local access cable tv show. No honey, there's many things wrong with....THAT

    Tot Chef- Watch Michelin rated chefs travel the world to bring exotic flavors to jaded gourmets and the filthy rich...with the ultimate ingredient. I always wanted to know what happens when you put a baby in the blender...Absolutely brilliant pairing with the foie gras. Bravo!
