PAPPY'S PORCH
A MUSICAL TV SITCOM

 PAPPY'S PORCH TM ©

Completely Conservative-Christian Country entertainment that takes on hard subjects. A one-hour Sitcom based in a rural Texas Community around its weekly opera, which is a variety show. The sitcom is based on the production of the weekly show with every aspect of the production team blending into it. The security guard, floor director, makeup artist, the green room hostess, the graphic artist/technical director, and the producer, are all the cast. Each week we will feature a nationally known quest singer, or group, or a guest of any type, and periodically introduce an unknown artist. The one hour will be split between the sitcom and at the songs. (EX: Two songs; guest artist, one song; new artist, one song; Pappy and Brenda, and one special song like a hymn or theme song that blends in with the drama of the week.) The house band will be very acoustic and include banjo, violin, mandolin and dobro along with a full harmony quartet.

Pappy and Brendarella will host the show. Pappy is calm, middle of the road, and will be attempting to get the show done each week. Brendarella is the loving, sympathetic and empathetic, mother type, who is very gullible, and defends everyone. The Producer, Pappy and the Floor Director will all be trying to get the show done while the rest of the cast will have a drama going on each week. The makeup artist is a negative, self-righteous cross between Ruth Buzzy and the Church lady. Her Daughter is the Green Room Hostess who is Goldie Hawn type, a true hippy, a bleeding-heart liberal, and is the eternal optimist. Brendarella is usually trying to defend her. The floor director will always be the antagonist, upset with Pappy because he doesn’t run a tight enough ship. He will be attempting to get the Producer to fire everyone and replace Pappy, with himself. He teams up with the Makeup artist and uses the Greenroom Hostess. The Security Guard is a Barny Fife type who is also a “wannabe” military black-ops guy, talking in a “made up-military code” that no one understands. Ex: “Code Blue!-Level 3! Medium Threat!” He believes there is always an imminent threat, and the world is about to end. Josephene, a Lucy type, star struck, wannabe singer-song writer, is always sneaking in to meet the guests. She has a cassette of her latest song that she is trying to get someone to listen to. Our security guard is always trying to catch her and throw her out. Two (?) Animated “Country legends” that are critiquing the events, somewhat like Dukes’ of Hazards. This platform is able to develop this cast of characters and deal with all types of difficult subjects. It will allow for diversity of plots and the creation of memorable characters, as well as a platform for great music. Each week will be a different situation to be enthralled with as we roll into great comedy, wonderful Texas Music, and talent that positively entertains the entire family.
