Taylor Kitsch is like 5'11'' 180 and played a fullback who ran over everybody. If it's a small college team like the guy said you could easily get away with using normal sized actors.

A show about a young guy training to become some sort of religious clergy man (priest, rabbi, etc.). He struggles daily with his young male desires (eyeing women's cleavage on the first row during services, drinking, pranking fellow members). His homilies could be very short stand up acts. At it's base, it would be about his journey to complete his schooling/training.

I'm still working on a title.
Amen, Penances/Daily Penances, Daily Prayers
I don't love any of those.

Make a show about this, you would have a main core cast of a couple TV execs, each episode would be some random guest star (possibly B&C list actors) pitching a show which is craptastic. Each exec is mentally picturing what this show would be like while this random is pitching it, this is what the TV audience would see. It would be 2 to 3 good SNL type skits in a 30 minute comedy show.

A show about lower tier sports broadcasters Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks. They have to travel by bus, stay in shitty hotels, cover ridiculous sports for The Ocho.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off...

One of those things is not like the other. Throwback to The Office, which was on the air last year.

I couldn't think of a fourth show, so feel free...but it wouldn't suck.

ETA: Cheers! Cheers was NBC, right?

Yeah the football coaches would definitely be the dimwitted, obnoxious coaches. The minor sports like soccer, track or volleyball would have the reasonable coach.

The players could be young stars, maybe some cameos here and there. Their parts would be minimal. The focus of the show wouldnt be the games, it would be the behind the scenes weekday type of stuff. Id put different type of goofall personalities for each different coach of a sport.

Maybe throw in a funny groundskeeper/janitor.

Because I don't like Seinfeld.

That is well-documented on this board. Most overrated show in history IMO (though I understand why people do like it and know that I'm in the huge minority on that).
