While selecting the three shows to premiere for the site I found myself having to cast several ideas by the wayside. Though they are inventive, unique shows, I felt that some either wouldn't have the longevity needed, or simply weren't up to par.
I'm sure the selection process will interest you as much as it did me so I've decided to share a couple of the rejectees with you today. Maybe someday these ideas will see the light of day, but hopefully not...
Mixed Endings
Sample: Nice Looking Lady
rejected her business the last time she was there.
Shop assistant: Hello, can I help you?
Vivi Anne: I was in here yesterday, you wouldn't wait on me.
Shop assistant: Oh.
Vivi Anne: You people work on commission, right?
Shop assistant: Yeah.
Vivi Anne: Well... good call! Man, I was going to use the credit card that my john gave me and turns out that thing was maxed out! Then they had to indict him on federal charges for embezzlement or some bull like that, so your preconceived notion of me being poor trash was dead on child. I had to get this dress from Old Navy on sale!
Customer: You got that at Old Navy?
Vivi Anne: Right? And they gave me a coupon, you want one?
Rejected: High end boutiques be hatin'
me: Nope she just thinks she's deep or something and not deeply incompacitated mentally
Monk Seal: Altho Borken Button would be an awesome Harry Potter name
me: That would be nice
just to mix things up
It's the "Made Up Word : Real Word" school of naming
me: Gotcha Altho Borken Button it is
You should Creative Commons it
And then sell it to JK
Monk Seal: Well tis too late now
Monk Seal: She's finished
me: So says she, heh
Monk Seal: Hermione moves to the WestCoast to start acting career?
And find love?
me: Yep, with Ron Weasley as her best friend/secret admirer
They've dealt with goblins and drago0ns
but can they deal with MGM studio heads?!
all rights reserved naturally
Monk Seal: Those wacky network executives
I know I can really relate
me: I'd like to think if Hermoine and Ron can, then you certainly can
Rejected: You saw the chat, right? I have no idea what I'm talking about.
A friendly charming electrician fixes his appliances not with technical skill but with sweetness and grace.
Sample: Toaster Roast
Mrs. Smith: Oh Mr. Charming, my toaster won't work. When I put a piece of bread in there it spurts and sparks and causes all manner of havoc! I don't know what to do!
Mr. Charming: Don't worry Mrs. Smith, I'll fix it so it's working perfectly. Can you give us a little time alone?
Mrs. Smith: Oh, well, okay! Sure. I'll be in the living room if you need anything!
Mr. Charming waits until Mrs. Smith has exited the room, then he begins to work his magic.
Mr. Charming: Hey Toaster, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are...?
Rejected: No, just... no.
Gay Celeb Matchup
First Ep: Skin Anansie & Me'Shell Ndegeocello
Me'Shell and Skin hit it off bonding over a love of Veganism, social justice, and Beyonce's jelly. We follow them through the LA underground as they enlighten and entice onlookers with their anarchist leanings and their awesome lesbian rock vibe.
Me'Shell: The only fur you should wear is me baby.
Skin: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Rejected: Oddly very little love. After Bravo passed we stopped shopping it, because really? Bravo passing on reality gay TV means no one wants it. They must be racist. Sigh...

Rejected Show Pitches con...
We take happy endings and twist them to reflect real life situations.
A now dolled up prostitute enters into the same high end boutique that
(Another shopper looks Vivi Anne up and down)
Vivi Anne: Yes girl, it was on sale too so I only had to pay like $15.
Customer: Oh my goodness, for $15 that's fabulous!
Monk Seal: Does she have a borken . button? Broken "." Button even
Even the whole thing
Altho Borken Bottun
Monk Seal: Nah for Harry Potter one of them has to be a real word
me: SPINOFF!
me: You should write a sample for me, Hermoine trying to get a no nudity clause in her contract, Dr. Button helping them along the way. I could do it, but I don't know Potter speak
