I think your reality shows are better ideas than most of the garbage currently on, so I have to think you could be successful with them. There was once a nerdy show involving building robots and machines which did well. Although actually, I think the problem is that I (and you) don’t understand the slack-jawed idiocy of the general viewing public. I mean, have you ever seen Big Brother? Or late night dating/makeover shows? Who the hell watches that on a regular basis? But it’s successful all over the globe.

Your pal in Leslieville there is practically living next door to the studios, I’m sure 4P Productions could do well.

I want to be the first to say that your movie idea is absolutely killer. I would watch that movie, I would buy that movie and sitting around with my friends drinking hard liquor laughing like we’re watching Army of Darkness.

Useful filler:
The girl must be hot (and has to wake up in the yard naked at some point).

The guy should probably be some form of canine-neutral turned canino-phobe. We don’t want him to be dumb, we just him to be dumb when it comes to dogs.

Don’t kill the dog, nobody likes that.

You are allowed to make some form of “once a month” joke, but only in anger or irony.

The shared space can have a pool (not uncommon in the US). This enables wet dog and gratuitous bikini scenes. Attempted murder by drowning or electrocution are also available.

Either way, if it’s any consolation, Corner Gas actually airs in the US. So it’s a phenomenon bigger than our poor tortured Canadian souls

I think you should start working on some of these film and TV show ideas, Mr. Cheap. Grad school is all about the other fun side of learning!
