A contiuation of the bad film ideas thread:

A clumsy 35 year old man, Bill, wins the lottery, and his dependent and lazy family looks to him for support. The family becomes impatient with his lack of social skills and hang around for the money, while Bill frequently becomes annoyed with their uselessness. By the end of every episode, the characters have learned a new characteristic to appreciate about Bill besides his money, like his lovable personality and affinity for Cabbage Patch Kids.

Title: Stuck with the Bill.

Each episode ends in some situation where a bill must be payed by one of the family members, and Bill is stuck with it. He looks at the camera, which freezes on a frame of him shrugging, while the credits roll over his face.

90s clothes, hair and theme required. Laugh track a given.

I've always wanted a show with all the wacky neighbors from other sitcoms living together in a complex.

Kramer, Kimmy Gibler, Wilson Wilson, etc.

That's A'Matzah

Based in 1950's Brooklyn an ex Jewish mobster & an ex Italian mobster, both on parole end up with the only job either of them could land.... Running a restaurant together! Ethnic humour ensues. Other characters include a stereotypical Puerto Rican, Nick the Greek & Sean Neal Patrick Harris O'Sullivan (played by Neal Patrick Harris).

When his father who owned a circus dies, Oscar inherits 5 million dollars, and 3 orangoutangs! However there's a condition connected to the money: if he gives away the apes or just one gets sick or dies during the next 3 years, the zoologic society will get all the money. So he not only has to deal with 3 apes and an annoyed girlfriend, but also with a greedy zoologic society's president.

Tony Danza in the lead...

Who doesn't like monkeys doing funny stuff? It will appeal to the masses.


Gold! Jerry Gold! "Going Ape" was before it's time and could easily become a really bad but top 10 hit.

My first thought was Jeremy Piven in the lead... sort of the schlub he played in Grosse Pointe Blank.

That's who it was. There was one big name I was drawing a blank on. It would be gold.

There's the episode where Wilson coaches Urkle for the baseball team.

There's the one where Urkle pretends to be Kimmy's date to make another boy jealous.

And the one where Kramer and Wilson fight and draw a line down the middle of the apartment. Come on!
