After thinking about that Fraiser show fusion, this sorry little bugger of an
idea leapt up from my subconscious mind and strangled my common sense, forcing
me to write this:
***
Scene:    Deep within the bowels of an abandoned Funhouse{Never thought you'd
hear 'Bowels' and 'funhouse' in the same sentance, did you?}

Event:     Meeting of the CEOs of CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and UPN, who are are
meeting secretly with the CEO's of AD Vision, Vis, Streamline, US MANGA, and
others (a la 'SEELE') to decide how to resolve a problem facing them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------

CBS- ...We gotten 25000 letters this month alone asking for us to bring Anime
TV shows over here.  We can't do that, it will cut down on our arangement.

USM- We checked the handwriting.  It's the same 13 guys writting in a whole
lot.

ADV- Why.   Why must we decieve.  Deception is false.

NBC- Why.  Why must we let her into the meetings every time?

Vis- [With Mallet] Don't make me come over there again!  You remember how many
stitches it took last time...

Fox- I still don't see the problem.  Does there always have to be a
consperacy.  It's just not right.

STR- Look, you, we have conspericies because we want the public to pay out the
nose for dubbed videos, and pay twice that for anything descent!  In return
for you not bothering to acknowledge TV programing in any other country, we
split the take.

ADV- ...blue.  The color of water.  Running water...

CBS- There she goes again. Is there any way to shut her up. An off switch,
duct tape, a Clamp, anything?

Vis- You people seem to be missing the point.

ABC- Which is?

Vis- Why _bring over_ shows, when we already have shows we can use?

ALL- Huh?

Vis- We make "totally new" shows, but with anime characters...

USM- Which means that these delsuional otaku will tune in, believeing they've
scored a victory...

CBS- But they'll still have to pay for videos to get any real entertainment!

Vis- Where are we going to get story ideas from on such short notice?

ABC- [Smilling and taking out a remote control, turning on a TV] Just surf
around.  Everyone knows there's nothing new on television...

[A low chuckle starts, and soon the whole room is fulled with devious
laughter(tm)... from everyone but one person.]

UPN- [Looking up from his comicbook] Uh..... what were we talking about again?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just had to get this off my chest(and out of my brain) so that I could think
clearly about stuff again.  The real series, if it ever gets done, will be to
do fusions of Anime TV shows and American sitcoms and such... it might
actually be funny, or it could suck rocks.  If anyone has any idead about this
series(whether it is a)good  b)bad  c)stupid  d)really bad  e)dangerous to my
health to continue) tell me what you think.

Some Ideas spring to Mind(despite better judgement):

Ranma & Married with Children
Slayers & Simpsons (where this came from, I don't know)
BGC & Tool Time (More Power!  [Laser shots] Ah!  Less Power , Less Power...)
Sailor Moon & Just the 10 of Us (oldie but goodie, and the numbers match!)
Evangelion & Seinfeld {[Asuka]-My plug suit dosen't fit right. [Ritsuko, aka
Eva-Nazi]- Oh yeah, well No mecha for you!)

I'm going to stop now, because my head hurts and it will probably hurt more
after people start pounding on it with hammers/rocket launchers/tac-
nukes/orbital particle beam death rays et al

Ja Ne!
