Can you top this for a  ''WTF?!?! " series idea?

[retrorussell]

Yeah, that's definitely notoriously weird.

So was this:
COP ROCK (1990)
Only a pilot and 10 episodes were aired.  A cop show, but also a musical!  Too odd to ignore!
One episode in particular had a courtroom case with the judge, jury, and attorneys all breaking out in song over the defendant's guilt!


This was just a dumb, weirdo idea for a cartoon:
FISH POLICE (1992)
John Ritter plays a fish cop in an undersea 30's-style town.


The 90s had plenty of bad ideas in television.. I'm sure I could think of more.

^^ I remember there being lots of hype for "Cop Rock" prior to its premiere saying how "revolutionary" it was going to be. I never bothered with it at the time cuz it sounded ridiculous.

Years later, VH1 showed a marathon of the entire series one afternoon, so I tuned in out of morbid curiosity.  I think I bailed out before the first commercial break. It was even stupider than I'd imagined!

Here's an NBC promo from 1983 featuring three "WTF" shows in it:

"Mr Smith," a short lived sitcom about a talking orangutan who served as an advisor to the US President
"Jennifer Slept Here," with Ann Jillian as the ghost of a dead movie star haunting her former home; and
"Manimal" with Simon MacCorkindale (of "Jaws 3") as a guy who could turn into animals.

All aired on the same night, apparently.

"Heil Honey!" was the first thing I thought of.

I was sad when "Cop Rock" was cancelled. 

I never saw it, but consider "Poochinski": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poochinski

Peter Boyle is a tough Chicago cop. He's killed in the line of duty and reincarnated as a "flaulent" bulldog. He continues solving crimes.

Review of Jennifer Slept Here. Says it's just another fantasy sitcom, like Bewitch or I Dream of Jeanie.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING (1979) - Jack Elam in a sitcom about a Frankenstein monster? I never watched the show, but the commercials for it looked awful. It disappeared quickly.

as much garbage tv as i've watched in my life, i've gotta tell y'all, the biggest WTF tv series i've ever  heard of doesn't start until next monday. it's called " living biblically". it's supposed to be a sitcom,and i've seen several commercials. the whole concept is.. just...i don't have the words to express my opinion of it right now.

If we're allowed to add pilots here's Steel Justice:

Steel Justice (Unsold TV Pilot) - Robosaurus

A cops dead son is brought back as a toy robot dinosaur, which can grow into a 40-foot Mecha-Godzilla wannabe. They actually built a 40-ft robot for this. Oh yeah, the robot's ability to grow comes from some-sort of ancient mysticism called the Gift. Apparently it's also how Stonehenge was built: http://jabootu.net/?p=7718

And jabootu needs to fix those pictures.

Joe Millionaire was so terrible I couldn't look away. Hey, let's film a bunch of women willing to 'ho out for a chance to hang with a millionaire, then, laugh at them when we reveal they been prostituting themselves to a broke construction worker!

Yeah, man, truly WTF.

[Alex]

I can't help thinking that if they were that cheap and shallow they deserved to end up with nothing.

The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfieffer  a comedy about a slave working in the White House under PResident Lincoln.

I remember that one...
As I understood it, he wasn't a slave, he just happened to be a well educated & cultured free black man in the 1860s, which was supposed to be the joke, which is why the series wasn't wasn't particularly funny...
