Okay, you saw me mention this in Futami's latest "pay attention to me thread," but I've refined it. Stay with me, because I've got a hot property here.
Instead of Futami and Drinky, two conflicting forces, sharing an apartment after their lives go to hell, we have Futami living with a different roommate every month (since no one could tolerate being around him for more than that). Each episode takes place with one different roommate. A season would be 12 episodes, aka a year's worth of roommates.
This works great, for two primary reasons:
1) No matter how cheap the rent, living with futami isn't possible for more than a month.
2. Futami's character changes would be hilarious, and indeed, unprecedented for a TV series. He's always the opposite of whatever his roommate is. One month he has a gay roommate, and he goes totally anti-gay. The next month he has a fundie, he goes totally pro-gay. Next month he has Dick Cheney's sister, and he goes totally Incognito. Next month, it's Michael Moore and he starts dressing up like Coulter.
Drankly, I think this is like the 5th brilliant show idea I've had all week. And this could even be network TV. We know we don't have to worry about nudity popping up when Futami is involved, unless he is beating off to jeans.
