I have several what I consider fresh ideas for TV. The first show is called Rudy. The premise of the show is about an European aristocrat who is forced to move to NY in order to receive and secure his inheritance and the family liniage. The irony is that the inheritance is tied up in heirlooms and artpieces that according to the will cannot be sold. Never having worked a day in his life, Rudy is now faced with coming to terms with his situation in life. (babysitter to the family fortune) and learning how to live the american way.

The second idea is more about hilarity. Imagine, a heavy handed game of poker is being played at the pearly gates. In attendence, God, St. Peter, Belesobob (sp)and a host of other lesser figures. Bored with power and tired of the bickerings of their kids, The great ones conspire to send their kids to live in the mortal realm in present day NA.

Gods kid's name is JC and he prefers to live in the shadow of his uncle Belesobob...
Belesobob's kid is named Lucy and she is the child that God always wanted.....

Throw in a couple of other kids from the dieties like say Hercules - the son of Zues who discovers that he prefers to exhibit more femine qualities than masculine....

What TV is missing is some morality based retrospection...what better way to deliver it than through the eyes of almighty's progeny....

Well do either hit the mark or am I wayyyy off in left field!!!

Sounds good, but I'd say change the title of Rudy because some people might think it's the spinoff of the movie of the same name. Some people aren't bright you know, but sounds good.

Actually, my initial thought was to creat half hour sitcoms. But maybe there is some further thought needed to see where the essense of the characters will take me...
