    I understand that John is a jerk, but i don't think that should consume his character. I think you should tone down the douchebaggery of John a little.

    Just my opinion.

    Also, you could go down one of the two classic sitcom lines:

    The Show is doing better than ever with seth in charge and they don't want John back. John tries to prove he is a good writer

    or

    The Show fails with Seth in charge and even though he's a douche, the guys realise they miss him.


    Or you could come up with a unique idea. I can't think of one at the moment but you might be able too.
    "Look, Marge, you don't know what it's like. I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And i'm not out of order! You're out of order. The whole freaking system is out of order. You want the truth? You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth! Because when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo, that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it, Marge. It's Chinatown!" - Homer's rant.

    I like the second act as well and I agree with ahhgoobras that John is a little bit too douchey. But you have the perfect opportunity tu "cure" this in this episode. Send him on a vacation with Seth staying in charge and the show failing, like ahhgoobras said and then bring John home and everybody's happy that he's there and because he missed it so much, he gets a little nicer. Just an idea, I don't really know if that would actually work.

    I'm sorry that I've basically been ignoring this thing for a while now but I'm buried in work (In exam year) and can only keep a few limited projects going... I will return once I'm done but you guys seem to be running this fine without me.

    in this episode he's suppose the be more douchebag than usual, but I could tone him down some.

    prolly will go with the show failing

    Pradesh:
    That’s how I took it.

    Seth:
    Alright. Any ideas for an episode?

    Pradesh:
    What if Jesus goes back in a time machine and meets the actual Jesus Christ and then he injures Jesus and Jesus has to replace Jesus?

    Seth:
    You had me at the word Jesus.

    (dan Enters the room)

    Dan:
    Seth, this script “best episode ever: or how I won the freaking emmy”, is awful! For starters you only have one line!

    Seth(holding a baseball bat):
    Shut up you versatile son of a b- sigh….. I can’t do it. I’m just not that cold hearted.

    Albert:
    Not cold hearted?! You turned in those Mexican immigrants to the police when they needed your help!

    Seth(muttering to himself):
    I thought you were fired.(speaking to dan) Anyways, heres 40,000 dollars. Stop complaining.

    Dan(running out):
    I love this show!

    Seth:
    Alright, you guys just keep on writing, And I’ll go check on upstairs.

    Pradesh:
    I don’t care.

    (he goes to the AD and see’s david goldman talking to a animator)

    David:
    Do you enjoy small talk?
    Animator:
    Eh.

    David:
    Oh hey Seth buddy! Is john gonna be OK?

    Seth:
    Oh yeah sure, he’s fine.

    David:
    Good for him. Anyways, I was gonna ask for a favor…… Can I have some money?

    Seth:
    What?!?! I’m a writer for gods sake! I only make 60,000 dollars an episode! What am I, made of money?

    David:
    I wish.

    (they both enjoy a hearty laugh)

    David:
    But seriously though, give me some money or I quit.

    (all of them are in the writers room)

    Albert:
    I cant believe I’m saying this, but I almost kind of miss John.

    Pradesh:
    Yeah…I kinda almost miss him too….. good times…..

    (flashback to earlier, a parody of “the public enemy” Pradesh is at a breakfast table with John(who is in a bathrobe) )

    Pradesh:
    You’re the best boss that anyone in the entertainment industry could ask for.

    (john smashes a grapefruit in his face)

    (PRESENT DAY)

    Sandy:
    Maybe we could stage an intervention in hawaii, you know to get john back.


    Seth:
    Hey! Yeah! Now this is what I pay you for! The staff of “jesus controls the universe is going to Hawaii!”

    (Andrew runs in, late)

    Andrew:

    Yeah, I like the ending a lot. All of them going to Hawaii to see John is a good way to go, especially because John will see that they care for him after all and don't see him as just a douchey boss.
    Really good script so far, I'm looking forward to see how you continue the story in the next act!

    sorry i'm taking so long, I am extremely busy. well in the meantime, heres the rewrite of the 3rd episode

    BEHIND THE SCENES: EPISODE BTS003 - "THE ODD COUPLE"


    INT. – THE WRITERS ROOM. All writers but JOHN are sitting around the table occasionally yelling out story ideas, but mainly doing their own thing. ALBERT is watching them, ANDREW is eating and SANDY is working at the computer.

    ANDREW
    I got one, how about an episode where Jesus gets shot, like, a bunch of times in the head and weirdly he’s totally fine. So, he joins a circus.

    SETH
    We are not writing a whole episode about that.

    JOHN BURSTS IN THE DOOR, CRYING. HE QUICKLY SITS DOWN, HIDING HIS FACE. EVERYONE GATHERS AROUND HIM

    PRADESH (holding back a laugh)
    John, are you crying?

    JOHN
    Don’t look at me!

    SETH
    Why would you come in here if you didn’t want us looking at you?

    PRADESH (patting John on the back)
    Hey, hey, John. Everything’s going to be OK. So why are you crying? Get your period?

    PRADESH LAUGHS

    JOHN
    Oh, Haha. Prademadadesh-

    PRADESH (as if he’s said it a million times before)
    That is not my name.

    JOHN
    SHUT UP!, everyone cries sometimes. I’m no more girly then you are!

    PRADESH
    Uh, I have footage of you dancing around in a dress on my computer.

    JOHN WIPES THE TEARS FROM HIS EYES

    JOHN
    (gasp) You told me the camera was off!

    PRADESH
    Haha, yeah I did.

    ALBERT
    …So why are you crying?

    JOHN
    Me and my girlfriend of a few hours just broke up. Now she’s taken half of my stuff.

    EVERYONE LOOKS CONFUSED

    SETH
    Hey John?

    JOHN
    Yeah?

    SETH
    You know that she only gets half of your stuff if you get married right?

    JOHN (no longer sad)
    She what now?

    SETH
    If you guys didn’t get married, she doesn’t get half of your stuff.

    JOHN
    Oh… shit. I already signed the deed to the house. God-Damn it!
    (deep breath)
    No, you know what, it’s ok. I can work around this. Sandy?

    SANDY
    Yes, John?

    JOHN
    I need your house.

    SANDY
    …What?

    JOHN
    I need your house.

    SANDY
    You want to move in with me?

    JOHN
    Oh god no. You have to move out.

    SANDY
    You can’t do that.

    JOHN
    I’m your boss, you’re my assistant. I can do whatever I want.

    SETH
    Actually John, you can’t. You can’t just kick people out of there houses.

    JOHN
    sigh..... your right....anyways sandy, I'll give you 2 days to move all your stuff out to the curb-

    SETH:
    hey! what did I just say!

    JOHN:
    What about you Albert? I'll give you my copy of action comics #1!

    ALBERT:
    I'm more of a batman kind of person.

    PRADESH (lights up)
    w-w-w-wait a sec.....YOU HAVE ACTION COMIC #1?

    JOHN
    Aha.

    PRADESH
    well pack up half your stuff, You’re moving in!

    CUT TO: INT. -- PRADESH’S APARTMENT. JOHN knocks on PRADESH’s door and he answers. JOHN walks inside.

    PRADESH
    Hi.

    JOHN
    Hey asswipe.

    JOHN RUNS TO THE BEDROOM, PRADESH FOLLOWS HIM.

    PRADESH
    What are you doing?

    JOHN
    Setting up my bedroom.

    PRADESH
    Oh, I set up the couch for you. It’s a fold-out.

    JOHN
    Yeah, that’s not happening. See, the me of giving you action comics #1 entitles me to a bed.

    PRADESH
    You haven’t even given me the damn thing yet.

    JOHN
    I will. But in the meantime, this is my bed. Also I need to set up some ground rules. #1: I’m going to be bringing some chicks here, so when I say leave us alone, leave us alone. #2: If I do ask for you to, oh, I don’t know, help me get into a sex position. Just help quickly ok? And #3: You may here some weird noises, like, uh, me making animal sounds, when you do, just ignore it.

    PRADESH
    Why do you make animal sound-

    JOHN
    #4: no questions.you understand?

    PRADESH
    Yeah ok.

    JOHN:
    good! now wheres your TV? I'm gonna tivo all the episodes of family matters. oh and rule #5, I control the Tivo.

    CUT TO: INT – THE WRITER’S ROOM – CAPTION: “THE NEXT DAY.” ALL THE WRITERS BUT PRADESH AND JOHN ARE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE.

    ANDREW
    I’m telling you, It’s funny, it shows emotion and it’s totally in character!

    SETH
    How? How is Jesus setting his hair on fire any of those things!?

    PRADESH COMES THROUGH THE DOOR, SITS DOWN LOOKING TIRED AND FRUSTRATED.

    ALBERT
    Wow. You look terrible.

    PRADESH
    Thanks, Albert. Its John’s fault, the guy’s driving me crazy. “You’re not a proper Indian if you don’t have the little dot on your forehead,” “You’re not a proper Indian if you don’t have the Kama Sutra book,” “You’re not a proper Indian if you don’t eat pasta and pizza.”

    SETH
    Isn’t the last one Italian?

    PRADESH
    Yeah, I tried explaining that to him. Then, “Rule #36: No challenging what I say.” God he’s a douche.

    SETH
    Rule #36?

    PRADESH
    Oh the rules. There the stupidest thing, like, “Rule #11:" I get to walk around nude in the house” or “Rule #24: You must eat rice” He’s driving me nuts, you guys have to help me get rid of him.

    JOHN WALKS IN AND SITS DOWN, HE ALSO LOOKS TIRED AND FRUSTRATED.

    JOHN
    There!

    JOHN THROWS A SCRIPT ON THE TABLE, SANDY PICKS IT UP.

    JOHN
    I finished “Jesus and the gorillas” even with little Mr Multi-cultural bugging me.

    PRADESH
    bugging you!? I asked if you wanted dinner.

    JOHN
    Oh yeah, you did. That curry was delicious by the way. Wait, that’s beside the point! Don’t interrupt me when I’m writing!

    PRADESH
    You listen to me-

    SANDY
    Ah, John. I don’t think Steven’s going to like this.

    JOHN
    Why not!?

    SANDY
    Probably because you have Jesus saying “Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit” for-

    SANDY FLIPS THROUGH THE SCRIPT

    SANDY
    16 pages. and there's like 9 penis jokes in every other page.

    JOHN
    Hey, that’s quality writing!

    ANDREW
    PENIS!

    SANDY
    John, take it back. Look through it, Change a few things and then give it back to me. Ok?

    JOHN
    ok....*cough* penis.

    JOHN LEAVES WITH THE SCRIPT

    ALBERT
    He’s more of a douche then usual.

    SETH
    He really is.

    PRADESH
    Please help me get rid of him.

    SETH
    I’ll help.

    ANDREW
    I have nothing to do, I will as well.

    SETH
    First, try and talk to him. Ask him to leave.

    PRADESH
    That’s not going to work.

    SETH
    You can always try.

    ANDREW BEGINS TO HYSTERICALLY LAUGH

    SETH
    What’s so funny?

    ALBERT
    I just got that period joke Pradesh said yesterday.

    CUT TO: INT – PRADESH’S APARTMENT – PRADESH walks up to the bathroom door and can hear a shaver.

    PRADESH
    Listen, John. We need to talk.

    JOHN
    ugh, I know what sex is MOTHER....

    PRADESH (confused)
    What?

    JOHN
    sorry, Its just when you said "the talk" I thought you were gonna tell me what sex was.

    PRADESH
    what?

    JOHN
    Ah, not right now.

    PRADESH
    …Why not?

    JOHN
    I’m shaving.

    PRADESH
    (Laugh) I’ve seen a guy shave before.

    JOHN
    I’m not shaving my face.

    PRADESH(confused)
    oh?

    PRADESH(in realization)
    oh.

    PRADESH(in disgust)
    oh.

    PRADESH
    Listen, I was wondering if you could … move out.

    JOHN
    What? No way.

    PRADESH
    Why not?

    JOHN
    Well, Where am I going to go?

    PRADESH
    Back to your old place.

    JOHN
    As if Amber’s going to let me back in.

    PRADESH
    Well, You could ask- Would you turn the shaver off!

    JOHN POKES HIS HEAD OUT THE BATHROOM DOOR

    JOHN
    Listen, Indian dude. If you want action comics #1, you’ll let me stay here as long as I want.

    PRADESH LEAVES

    CUT TO: INT. -- THE WRITER’S ROOM - SETH, PRADESH and ANDREW are the only people in the room, they are sitting at the table.

    PRADESH
    And then he told me he was staying.

    SETH
    Wait, wait, wait. (Laughing) John shaves his balls?

    PRADESH
    That’s what you’re taking out of this story?

    SETH
    (still laughing) John shaves his balls!

    PRADESH
    You need to help me.

    SETH
    Ok. Let’s come up with some plans. How about talking to, um, Amber? Get her to move out.

    ANDREW
    It’s worth a try.

    PRADESH
    Ok, what else?

    ANDREW
    Buy him a new house.

    PRADESH
    Let’s put that in the maybe pile.

    ANDREW
    Oh, I got one! I’ll call it “John’s little accident”

    PRADESH
    We are not killing John!

    ANDREW
    Who said killing? We could just, put him in a coma or something.

    SETH
    Dude.

    ANDREW
    Oh ok then.

    PRADESH
    (sigh) Let’s go see Amber.

    CUT TO: EXT. -- JOHN’S MANSION - PRADESH, SETH and ANDREW are standing outside the door. PRADESH knocks.

    PRADESH
    How does John have a house like this?

    SETH
    I think he owns a circus or something.

    ALBERT
    Again with the circus!

    AMBER answers the door, AMBER looks like a very cheap prostitute.

    AMBER
    What do you want, darlin?

    ANDREW
    Ewwwww…

    ANDREW CONTINUES HIS “Ewwww”

    SETH
    ew. I mean, Wow.

    PRADESH
    So… you’re Amber?

    AMBER
    What do you want?

    PRADESH
    Ah. See, you know John? Yeah, well, when John moved out of here, he moved into my place. He’s not really a fun house guest so I was, maybe, wondering if you could, let him move back in with you. See, You clearly look like a woman of (Holding back laugh) incredible intelligence and sophistication and I was wondering if, being so awesome, you could put up with John for me and let him move back in, so I don’t kill myself.

    AMBER
    No.

    AMBER SLAMS THE DOOR AND ANDREW STOPS SAYING “Ewwwww”

    SETH
    It was worth a shot. Let’s go back to the studio and think of some more ideas.

    PRADESH
    Nah, I’m over it. Let’s just kill him.

    SETH
    What!?

    PRADESH
    You heard me. Let’s kill him.

    SETH
    We can’t just kill him.

    PRADESH (almost crying)
    Why not?

    SETH
    We’ll work something else out, ok.

    CUT TO: INT. -- THE WRITERS ROOM - ALL THE WRITERS are in the room.

    SETH (whispering to PRADESH, who is looking rather down)
    It’ll be over soon, buddy.

    SUDDENLY A PHONE RINGS. JOHN REALISES IT’S HIS AND ANSWERS

    JOHN
    Hello? … Oh that’s great! … No it’s fine …

    PRADESH AND SETH BEGIN TO SMILE.

    JOHN
    That’s just fantastic … why would I react any other way? … ok thank you. Bye.

    NOW EVERYONE IS SMILING, WAITING FOR THE GOOD NEWS

    JOHN
    Fantastic News everyone, I’m getting my house back!

    SETH
    That’s great! How?

    JOHN
    Amber died!

    EVERYONE’S SMILES FADE.

    SETH
    What?

    PRADESH
    Oh, that sucks man.

    SANDY
    Yeah, she stopped by today, seemed nice.

    ALBERT
    Bummer, dude.

    ANDREW LOOKS AT BOTH SETH AND PRADESH AND SMILES WITH HIS THUMBS UP. REALISING THAT ANDREW WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED AMBER THEY BOTH LOOK SHOCKED. JOHN INTERRUPTS THIS MOMENT.

    JOHN
    Oh, Indian man. I promised you Action Comics #1. Here you go.

    ALL THOUGHT OF AMBER’S MURDER VANISHES AS PRADESH SMILES EAGERLY. JOHN GIVES PRADESH A PIECE OF PAPER AND PRADESH LOOKS AT IT. ON THE COVER IS A VERY CRUDELY DRAWN MAN WITH A TITLE WRITTEN WITH VERY BAD HANDWRITING SAYS “ACTION COMICS #1: BY JOHN BOLTON” PRADESH EXTREMELY ANGRY. HE OPENS UP THE ONE PAGE COMIC BOOK AND SEES THE ONLY PICTURE IS A TERRIBLY DRAWN MAN PUNCHING ANOTHER TERRIBLY DRAWN MAN. DOWN THE BOTTOM IT SAYS “Drawn and written by John Bolton.” WE SEE PRADESH’S FACE AS HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS ABOUT TO PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE AND-

    Behind the scenes episode 2(or 3 or 4)

    Heart attack pun

    Written by Andrew A. Lee



    (an episode of “jesus controls the universe” is on)

    Jesus(at the convience store):
    hey robin! How are things?

    (robin then knocks a pile of cans over)

    Jesus:
    you idiot! Why did you do that?

    Robin:

    (the TV turns off and its revealed that mulder and john are watching it in mulder’s office)


    Mulder:

    Mulder:
    this is worse than that episode where Robin fights a chicken, I mean, it was funny for like 2 minutes, then it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on-

    John:
    shut up! its not my fault! its those damneded writers. albert, seth, andrew, laptop chick and mr. minority. we should fire at least 1 of them.

    Mulder:
    ratings are going down the toilet. And if you don’t start improving those episodes, than I’ll have no choice than replace your show with that reality show where all those obese monkey’s lose weight.

    John:
    WHAT? NO! YOU CANT DO THIS!

    mulder:
    Oh, but I can. You have no idea how fat monkeys can get. Anyway, if you wanna keep your show, start to write some actual jokes, goddamnit.

    john:
    alright FINE! we are gonna write the best episode the world has ever seen!

    (john is driving his car angrilly)

    John:

    Albert:

    pradesh:

    John: Shut up Pradaladadingdong! I WAS STRESSED BECUASE THAT ASSHOLE MULDER WAS GONNA CANCEL US AND REPLACE US WITH OBESE MONKEYS! YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT WOULD BE FOR US?

    Andrew:

    Pradesh:
    That’s how I took it.

    Seth:
    Alright. Any ideas for an episode?

    Pradesh:
    What if Jesus goes back in a time machine and meets the actual Jesus Christ and then he injures Jesus and Jesus has to replace Jesus?

    Seth:
    You had me at the word Jesus.

    (dan Enters the room)

    Dan:
    Seth, this script “best episode ever: or how I won the freaking emmy”, is awful! For starters you only have one line!

    Seth(holding a baseball bat):

    episode ideas:
    1. a format bending episode of where the whole episode is a mock-documentary(not quite a documentary) of the history of "jesus controls the universe"

    2.John starts dating a supermodel and then John turns really nice and cheery like, But the rest of the staff think she sucks, so they try to break him up with her, and they suceed, and then john becomes all mopey and sad, and then they realise they belong together, so they get them back together, then John gets all tired of her and breaks up with her and he becomes the jerkass he usually is.

    3. I dont have very much details, but, we should have an episode with many plots going on at once, like a episode of arrested development, or like that episode trilogy of error.

    4. a slight rip off of lemon of troy, andrew, seth and sandy and albert sneak to a rival show that they stole the idea for the show from to steal more ideas and storylines.

    I cant really work on episodes for a while, because of school and also the fact that i'm developing my own sitcom(its about a corrupt beurocratic high school newspaper staff), so I'll get some more writers back here to write episodes.

    I like all of your ideas, but I think 3 would be extremely hard to write. If you think about ToE, everything has to be planned perfectly and writing something like that could take weeks.
    1 could be pretty funny, specially if we mock typical documentary elements
    2 is just awesome, simply a fantastic plot. Could be both funny and pretty emotional.
    4 could also work great and it also allows us to come up with another show. Maybe the battle between the staff of both shows can be an ongoing gag in the series.

    well this is progressing nicely so i decided to bump this thread

    1. I really hate my 3rd act alot and I was just trying to have a 3rd act twist but that didnt turn out very goodly, so I may rewrite it later

    2. there should be a joke where fans are complaining " the show's quality has been declining since the 3rd episode"
