hmm.. nope i'm teaching in nevada.
Let's Compose a Sitcom:No Rules or Restrictions

You'll have to include gays and minority characters somewhere...or face boycots from those communities.
Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, but I don't understand the militants who insist young children be taught about gay sex (California State Assembly Bill AB48, aka the NAMBLA bill - mandates school teachers teach kids about gay sex acts).
Let kids be kids. Teaching about sex and religion used to be up to the parents. Not anymore.
Probably wouldn't make a good situation comedy.

wait, am i supposed to be teaching these kids how to be gay?
Teach them how to write a good sitcom

If you're a teacher in California, yes teach about the specific acts. Used to be parents could opt out of sex ed for their kids (because that's a parental responsibility) but not anymore.
Great now that that is settled maybe you two can start your own treads (in a different forum) on the topic, this one is about the art of sitcom writing.

How about Tom Hanks as a truck driving investigator fighting crime on the road with his companion Wilson. We can call it Castahighway.
Or Cast Pee Wee Herman as a professional wrestler and his hobby could be flying kites with sexy supermodels.

How about a cast of characters that would represent all groups, ethnicities, and creeds who pass their time by posting in the forums of a chess web site? Set design would be a nightmare because none of them are in the same place at the same time, but with some effort and props you could get by using two basements, three tops.

More infor and specifics are needed to fly.

Ha no sense of laughing for them is right!

Let's cast Jim Naboors (Gomer Pyle)!!!
Ha ok, gooollllyy what could he be and do? Maybe he can re-inact his role in Cannonball Run.

How about a city situated in a rain forest with a law stating the whole city's population had to play chess outdoors on Wednesdays. Oh crap it's lightening out, I will need to turn off this computer.

Got it, a sitcom with a wise-cracking president with a tic, a vice president who owns a peanut farm but is allergic and a list of cabinet members who:
a. gamble
b. are incontinent
c. like romanic comedies

so when winerkleiner (get it? wiener cleaner!) said "let's compose a sitcom" he meant mostly just him (or her)

Lol I do need help with this endeavor, and I was hoping more people would throw in more ideas on sitcon styles. What's your ideas on a sitcom? Will your stuff be funny?
And you're right I could be a female, give me a second and I will check! This could be winerkleiner's secret #2!
wait, am i supposed to be teaching these kids how to be gay?
