One of my jobs is pitching shows.  Most of them don’t get picked up.  Soon you will understand why.

It’s Thursday.
It’s TheDrCaptain.com.
It’s Pitch Of The nipple-clamping Week.

This week’s pitch:

Captain Planet

Outline:

Captain Planet is a show about –

Wait, didn’t this show already get made?
Not that I know of.
Yeah, it did… It ran for six seasons
I had no idea, never heard of it before..
Really? What’s your show about?
Uh…
Is it about a gender neutral Gaia giving rings to ethnically diverse children that control the elements, occasionally create an environmental superhero that saves the earth from oil drillers and miners?
… No. that sounds stupid…
So, your show is about…
A captain. Of a boat. That’s also a planet.
A planet driving a boat?
Uh… Yes?
Interesting…

Executive Decision:

Does it fight crime or save itself from invading aliens
Um…Aliens?
Nice.  How big a boat?
A really big boat?
Damn, if you had said A comically small boat, that’d totally fit in with our new summer animation lineup. ‘the oversized undersized comedy animation hour’
We can make it a small boat…
Too late.  Get out and take your stupid ‘large boat’ show with you.
