Attention NBC: Free Sitcom Idea!

This sitcom idea is inspired by a comment written by Clarence about my rave review of our new Shark NV500 Rotator vacuum . . . he speculated that 1990 Dave would be dismayed, disappointed and disgusted by the domesticity of 2015 Dave, and he's right, of course: 1990 Dave was a rude, insolent, slightly deranged illogical slob who spurned all responsibility and civility . . . and this is the premise for an amazing sitcom: 1990 Dave travels through a time warp into the future and he has nowhere to stay and no viable skills, so 2015 Dave has to take him in . . . it's a messy, funny, and ultimately endearing show, because 2015 Dave can't kill 1990 Dave-- and 2015 Dave's wife and kids have to put up with 1990 Dave and prevent 1990 Dave from harming himself, because he's destined to eventually stumble into another time warp and return to his own timeline in the past, where he will meet his wife and fulfill his destiny to become a fairly responsible, occasionally awkward, sort of civilized parent and citizen (who occasionally volunteers to vacuum the house . . . and to add another layer to the show, 2015 Dave's wife is strangely attracted to 1990 Dave, though he annoys the shit out of her with his puerile behavior, but she just can't help herself because he is a much better looking version of Dave than 2015 Dave).

If 1990 Dave were to have a kid with your wife, would the kid be your son? Nephew? Cousin?

You should get a muscular Austrian guy for your sitcom. He could travel back to 2015 from the future, trying to kill 1990 Dave to prevent him from impregnating your wife.

i like the way you think-- more unexplained time travel with crazy paradoxical repercussions that won't be explained or even make logical sense. you can be a co-writer . . .

and if 1990 dave had a kid with my wife, he would still be my son, of course (genetically speaking). BUT i would be a cuckold. that could be a very special two part episode . . .

I greenlight this.

Season 2, naturally, features 2015 Dave traveling back to 1990.

I don't know, Catherine. I tend to doubt it, but you know how much of a sissy he is these days more than we do.
