I Pitch This Idea For A Second Time

While searching for that stupid Thanksgiving Day post today, I came across many other gems that I wanted to reblog but didn't. However, THIS idea is so genius that is should be on the television.

The twist here is that the dog is a detective who was left millions by his dead owner and hires an effete actor to pretend that he is the brains behind the operation. The human plays the part of a celebrity dog groomer...or is he only playing? The two travel from dog show to dog show in a custom crime/dog styling motor home and solve pet murders and other mysteries.

The animals all can talk but only those humans who the animals ALLOW to hear their conversations can hear what is going on. In that way you can recruit human actors for these little morality plays who can be in on the conversations.

I would even go so far as to have an evil cat being the 'Kingpin of Pet Show Crime' but I would prefer it was another dog in that role.

The show would, however, have a sphinx cat working with them as their private investigator and master of disguise. When the sphinx gets into a wiener dog suit to infiltrate a dog show, he BECOMES the wiener dog, he IS a wiener dog.

That cat takes his impersonations very seriously. He's a professional and an artist. Often the only way to detect him is by people who have allergies even to hairless cats. His dream is to impersonate one of the larger dogs - the St. Bernard or the German Shepherd. He would be so good as to actually win 'best in show' one time while disguised as a shitzu. This would make him entitled and vain but the best in the business at what he does so his 'cat behaviors' are tolerated by the other members of the team.

You could do a 'Wishbone' like things and add science fiction or time travel or alien elements to the stories. High concept, yes.

Is my blood sugar really really low or would that make a cool program for some pet channel on the satellite? We can use the computer to make the dogs and cats talk. Give them funny actor voices and BOOM - five years then syndication, bitches.

HA! In this case there are ACTUAL bitches involved, bitches!
