A SITCOM CAME IN A DREAM!
Last night I was tossing and turning in bed, going in and out of sleep while all these things shown above were in my system (not my dog). After one short fit of sleep, I woke up with the MOST GENIUS, BLACK, 90s SITCOM IDEA EVER DREAMT!!!
And just to let you know, I say "Black" because all the characters I dreamt up WERE Black, so how DARE you tell me I should switch them out and re-cast them (inside my head) to white people, just because. Well I will not. I. Will. Not.
Here is what I saw:
Open on what seems like a cop show. That simple bass plays like at the beginning of Law and Order, special 80's unit. There are two different guys that seem to either be tracking each other or running from one another... slowly... intensely... down dimly lit corridors. We widen out to reveal... they're wearing medical gowns... and they're in an old person's home!? And they're BOTH running away from each other!
Cut to opening sequence!
90s Sitcom music. It's the theme song to "Smart Guy" but the lyrics are "Now We're OLD GUYS!!!"
And the plot is described in the theme song (very similar to Sister, Sister): It's the story of two guys who were best friends when they were kids, but they went their separate ways in life. NOW, they meet up in this home, and, neither wanting to seem like the geriatric of the two, are always trying to out smart each other!! Because both of them think they are WAY too young and manly to be in an old person's home, so they keep trying to "Young Up" each other, (which will become a popular quote from the show).
And there's a nurse who wears baggy, MC Hammer pants and does breakdancing moves and tells funny jokes. He's the lovable character. Also Black.
The Song ends with
"Come on, Cledis, let's cruise down South Central" and they get on their electric wheelchairs, and head to the main corridor, which states that they are indeed headed for the "South" and "Central" units.....
DRUM ROLL
"NOW THEY'RE OLD GUYS!"
