The Hose

Evil
I'm going to take a short break from the gay discussion today... not because I have anything against gay people mind you, I mean, some of my best friends are gay (we know who you are!)... I want to pitch an idea for a TV cartoon series in the off chance that television execs are reading on.

Get this (remember, it's a cartoon series)... the premise is that two puppies are adopted from the pound. The puppies are brothers from the same litter and they are adopted by two late-20's women. The women are friends who went to the pound together. The entire show is shown and told from the perspective of one of the puppies. He is the one who has been adopted by the less-confident, more-neurotic, chunkier-legged of the two women. Since the women are friends, our main puppy character gets to visit with his brother often, during which he likes gripes about how he got stuck with the "crazier" of the two owners. (Underlying theme for you academics: Puppies don't choose their owners just as we don't choose our parents.) The puppies will discuss the antics and histrionics of their owners -- single and urban, professional, with biological clocks ticking, cellulite accumulating, and innocence quickly fading.

For example, in one episode, our main puppy character recounts how his owner struggled with whether it's OK for her to have sex while the puppy looks on. (She nets out deciding that the puppy can watch if the man is decent looking and has potential for a serious relationship... but the puppy is scuttled out of the room when she brings home a slobbery, one-night, late-night hookup.)

That's the general idea. Hopefully, someone will pay me large sums of money to develop it further. Wooooo!
