mr. anonymous' show

show concept, target demographic, time slot and network. give me (via comments to this post):

words provided by mike anonymous:
  • horse
  • rednecks
  • bumpy, horny, cheesy
  • ate
  • ladles
  • will melt
show concept (situation comedy/fantasy):
  • set in kentucky
  • a horse named 'Mike', who is owned by rednecks is magically transformed into a human by a witch with a serious skin wart issue. he enjoys being human and discovers that he's unstoppably horny because he has to find love within a year in order to stay human (one of the big mysteries of the show is whether he has to find true or make sweet love with a human). the problem is every night, he turns back into a horse. the rednecks discover his secret and put him to work in the kitchen (as a soup ladler), but this gives him the opportunity to meet all different ladies in the small kentucky town they live in. the witch has a cynical and cheesy humored cat named herman that helps him in his quest. he says snappy things like "straight out of the horses mouth" or "you can lead a horse to water."
  • initially, he has a lot of issues on how to pick up women, especially since he can only meet them during the day.
  • the twist: the cat, herman, starts to help him out of pity since Mike doesn't know that he was actually born human and the witch had transformed him into a horse as a baby (he's one of the redneck's children) after she helps the rednecks win $50 in the lottery and they don't give her a dime of their winnings.
  • funny situations arise when he starts meeting various women, and he says all the wrong things or starts turning back into a horse. also, the witch is afraid of water (b/c she will melt), so there are occasional themes of the witch at the bar trying to pick up men, but afraid of all the drinks.
  • target demographic: W35-55, midwest, housewives and right wingers (same audience as reba, disney, larry the cable guy, etc.)
  • the show runs on ABC, get's through 4 episodes in the 8/7C timeslot on Wednesdays, before it's moved to Thursday's. It runs 3 episodes on Thursdays and get's cancelled and replaced with a show about single, female lawyers, that have lots of sex.
