Gimmicks.
Here's a list of shows that are gimmicky enough to be picked up by any network, no questions asked. But, should they ask questions, I've prepared a plot synopsis.
Dr. President (or, Mr. President, M.D.)
->A small time medical doctor--Dr. Kenneth Snopes--from rural Kansas is inadvertently elected leader of the free world. Though he now has a plethora of new responsibilities as Commander in Chief, Dr. Snopes still finds time to operate in the newly installed White House O.R. He often delivers addresses still in bloody scrubs. Also, he's exceptionally racist, which doesn't bode well when his black Secretary of State needs his appendix removed... will President Dr. Snopes retract his "no niggers" policy, or will our nation's states lose their Secretary?
Commando in Chief
->A politician from New Jersey (Anthony Natta) narrowly grabs the presidency after his chief financial backer--Hanes Underwear--yanks the funding from under him. As a statement and a retaliatory measure, Natta swears off underwear while he is in office. This causes a stir among the gay and female interns, as President Natta has a now-entirely-visible MASSIVE penis, which, due to the sensual sensation of pant-on-dick friction, is usually erect. Several scenes from the first season will be recreations of the now-famous There's Something About Mary zipper scene.
How I Met YOUR Mother
->A reality show where Gene Simmons travels the country to meet the daughters of various women he's slept with over the years. To save time, there will often be a Brady Bunch-style display of 9 different women while Gene is heard saying (from off screen), "She was backstage at one of my concerts... naked."
Gay Detective
-> A newly outed New Yorker is coming back to work after a GAYcation in the Bahamas... but here's the catch: he's the city's premier detective! Detective John Charles struggles to reestablish the trust his colleagues once had in him while being true to his homosexual innards. Things get off to a rocky start when John develops a MASSIVE crush on Dr. Kenneth Snopes, a man accused of intentionally malpracticing a black patient to death. Can John get over his crush, or will he end up literally fucking a confession out of Dr. Snopes? Tune into CBS tonight at 9/8c to find out!
Commander in Briefs
-> A fun-loving senator from Alaska finds it unbearably hot in Washington, D.C. when he becomes president. So, he does what any fun-loving Alaskan would: he throws all his cards down and caution to the wind and goes balls-out... LITERALLY! This gnarly dude can't be spotted wearing more than a pair of bright red briefs... and he wouldn't have it any other way! The only problem is, chief White House Detective John Charles has recently come out of the closet, and he can't hide the constant boner that now resides in his pants!
Black President
-> Move over Stargate, the SciFi channel's next big hit is here! A loophole is found in the Constitution that enables an AFRICAN-AMERICAN to run for president! From an insistence on Cristal at State Functions to the implementation of the "Presidential Grill", Tyreese Brown can't seem to get anything right! Also, he drinks grape soda alot and is often found napping or shirking his Presidential duties to grind with women he isn't married to. President Brown--or as he would have you call him, Prez Tyreese--does everything in his power to have the best presidency EVER. But wait! White House Doctor Kenneth Snopes is furious with the election results! And this doesn't bode well when Prez Tyreese gets the Clap... again! Will Dr. Snopes retract his "no niggers" policy, or will our nation lose her president?
Commander in Chief
->A woman becomes president.
