Reply #4: Seriously, there needs to be a sitcom with a Glenn Beck-like character... [View All]

As his crazy antics prove, there would be a limitless supply of material for such a show.

The main character—let’s name him Roger Fleck—is a well-paid reactionary whacko talking head with a syndicated show on Wolf News. His daughter is a young liberal with whom he has constant clashes with—“I didn’t raise my daughter to be a pinko commie terrorist lover!”, etc. Fleck’s wife is an anxious, anal-retentive woman who loves living well but secretly finds her husband repugnant, and she’s always on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Fleck’s co-talking heads on the show would be based on O’Reilly, et al. Every day Fleck has a fresh tirade and looks ever-more unhinged.

The pilot episode could be written in about four hours.
