>No Life 'Til Leather
Set in San Francisco, friends James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich want to start a band and make it in the heavy metal scene. They put out advertisements, and end up meeting additional main characters Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine. They settle on the name "Metallica." James is a sensitive, self-conscious artistic type who, despite his best intentions, often lets his temper and emotions get the better of him. Lars, AKA the George Constanza of the group, will resort to anything and everything to get Metallica off the ground, and most episodes revolve around his schemes to get the band a record deal. (His father, Torben Ulrich is a reoccuring character and berates Lars on not following his destiny as a professional tennis player.) Cliff, an intelligent, soft-spoken fellow is the straight man of the group and somehow always finds a way to bail the gang out of trouble. Finally, Dave, the loose cannon is known for his wild and unpredictable personality, and brings absurdist comedy to the show through his erratic actions and the many unsavory Bay Area characters he's in contact with. At the end of each episode, Metallica are on the brink of catching their "big break" in the industry, until Dave finds a way to screw it all up and they are back to square one.

kek, probably. I was trying to base it on sitcoms i'd already seen as much as possible, but that one was unintentional. I did start to try to draw comparisions to the characters on It's Always Sunny, but it didn't really work. I'm fairly confident Lou would be Dennis, and Iggy fits Charlie pretty well, but that just leaves Bowie to be Mac, which doesn't really fit

Mike Love is his hot rod lovin' next door neighbor, always tinkering with cars in his garage and coming over to annoy Brian.

They don't have an idiot dog either (unless Henry Rollins becomes a regular), so some concessions must be made.

Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra hang around and talk about the punk scene in the 80s and how violent and dangerous it was, but it was also home for outcasts, while jacking each other off.

Nirvana: After Hours

A surreal and drug-inspired "sitcom" about Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic going insane right after Kurt's death, graverobbing his headless corpse, and taking him to their dingy apartment, where Dave Grohl has weird conversations with Kurt's corpse. Since Dave Grohl is really high, Kurt has surreal and wacky conversations with Dave.

Krist always stays in his room doing DMT and catfishing underage girls (many episodes purely focus on the wacky rape and murder that ensues), sometimes coming out to provide deadpan and wacky commentary on their current situation.

In the last season, Dave and Krist get a warrant for graverobbing, serial murder, and serial rape after the gang get so high that the alive members of the group run around with Kurt, showing pedestrians video evidence of Krist's mass murder spree. When they fail to notice the warrant, they unintentionally get involved in a police shooting.

Krist commits seppuku with a rusty nail after coming down from his high in the first time in 5 years and realizing the police are shooting at him.

Dave cannot live without Krist, so he commits suicide by cop.

If any major TV stations wanna hit me up, I'm all ears.

This isn't an original idea, but I would love a rap combat based TV show, where rappers fight and their words take shape and attack their rivals and you have to diss back to avoid losing the rap battle. The show could involve a nobody that get's into the rap industry and has to fight his way through, with silly cameos like Kanye West and MC Ride and eventually reaching the top and the plot twist is that the rap god is some stupid shit like Hopsin, Lil B or Viper

A bleak but humorous sitcom following Morrissey through his post-college years as a struggling and frequently unemployed author and musician in late 1970's Britain. Morrissey is a pretentious introvert and spends most of his time writing or insulting people.

In a manner akin to shows like Louie, the show derives a lot of its comedy from poking fun at the MC's various character flaws. Side characters include the members of Morrissey's earlier bands such as The Nosebleeds, and his various bosses and coworkers, whom he frequently disparages and looks down upon.
