More Satire
A number of years ago there was a television series called "Charles in Charge," which starred Scott Baio, and Willy Aames as Buddy.
I recommend a new reality show to be entitled "No One in Charge." This series will be set in the economic planning office of a fictional* White House. Scott Baio will reprise his role as Charles, now a White House director of economic planning. The part of Buddy, however, will be re-written for two characters and re-cast with Mitch McConnell playing the part of Mr. Utley from the Newhart show, and on alternate weeks John Boehner playing the part of Wilkins, a Republican Presidential candidate who runs Godparents' Pizza but is also an ordained Baptist minister.
The director will be Bob Dole, Jr., if there is one, or Ron Reagan, if available. Production facilities will be Television City in Hollywood where "The Price Is Right" is also taped.
Network executives are planning a January 2016 premiere, expecting to replace the "American Idol" replacement which is itself expected to bomb in the ratings.
TV critics cited the possible involvement of Ron Reagan as the only saving grace of the show. The acting talents of both McConnell and Boehner were said to be better than expected in the pilot episode but still below par for a show with expensive production digs at Television City.
Advertisers which had been lined up as of press time were Buggy King (a monster truck sales conglomerate), Sarah Palin Associates, and Kissinger Disassociates. The series business office was expected to complete advertising deals with Corslight Beer and the John Wayne Museum, soon.
Inquiries on the new and very exciting series are to be directed not here, but to the 45rpm record store in Hollywood.
The show had not been slotted as of press time due to the uncertainty over whether Wilkins would still be in the race by debut week.
* The use of "reality" and "fictional" here is intentional for this piece of satire.
