Quick Synopses of New TV Shows - What can you come up with?

Knowing that Breaking Bad is about to end and Mad Men will end soon and that Game of Thrones is based on already written novels, it seems like TV stations are running out of good ideas. AMC will feature a 2nd Walking Dead show and also a Breaking Bad spinoff show.
If history is any indicator, neither show will be successful .
So if you had an unlimited (but be reasonable) budget, what kind of show would you create?

Some sort of sitcom with Michael Keaton. That's as far as I've gotten on my idea yet, but so far it's gold. To me at least.

American Horror Story is technically a new show every season.

I started writing a tv show based off of an internship I had in college but I only got midway through the second episode.
Always thought that in a few years, some network should go back and redo the Harry Potter series as 10 episode seasons and follow the books closer while further exploring that universe.
I also came up with the idea for a hour long dramedy called "Workers". It would follow 4 different people at 4 different levels of the job market or whatever. The lowest level guy would be this high school kid just starting out at his first job (probably a movie theater or something) - the first scene of the series would be him in his interview. The next level up would be his older brother just starting out after college. He works for this sports agency after a unnotable college football career with a powerhouse program. His boss is a complete a-hole and not of the Ari Gold variety. The third "worker" would be his stoner friend who loves video games and tv and such but suddenly inherits his own regional best buy like store. The top level would be the father of the movie theater kid and agent who works as the assistant marketing director of some reasonably sized advertising/marketing firm. The head marketing director is only there because the head of the board of directors puts him there because the MD is his son who can't do shite on his own.
Just an idea I was running with.

James Vanderbeek stars in a new sitcom where he plays 3 triplets that after college all live together in an apartment in Milwaukee next door to their landlord, played by Chevy Chase, and their female neighbors, played by Rebel Wilson, the girl from Sarah Connor Chronicles, and insert no name pretty blond girl whose smarter than all the guys has a confident no excuses attitude can do anything and can never find a man. Oh, and the army of Vanderbeeks all work for a brewery owned by Will Wheeton (where Rebel is the HR manager). And they hang out at the bar downstairs managed by insert aging television star from the 80s whose career has been over for so long you forgot he existed until seeing him in this pilot episode.

outlining for a television format right now.
i wrote it as a screenplay for a feature film, which was about 120 pages, but i had to take too many shortcuts to keep it under that limit and it robbed it of everything that was special. it would have to be a tv show or novel. heavily considering novelizing it.
working on 2 other film screenplays as well

you should join the film club at LSU. We're working on several scripts right now including some short films, some horror/comedy spoofs, and some cool drama/thrillers.

you know what i mean. it had a few unique storytelling devices that i had to remove to keep it under the 120 pages
i also wanted genuine character attachment that you cant establish in a 2 hour movie
