The Neo-Futurists sell out to the fame and fortune of television sitcom writing with six competing pilot scripts. Each week a new sitcom will be put into the ring and left to fight for its success or die on the writing room table. The pilots promise to be daring, hilarious, uncensored, offensive, and morally superior. The audience wields the power of Nielson, determining which shows are good enough to be ‘picked up.’
The line-up of six shows includes:

April 10-12: Unitards
Ronnie Wexler’s dream is to wrestle. But when the high school wrestling team doesn’t want his extra chromosome anywhere near their mats, special hopes and special dreams are confronted with even special-er challenges.

April 17-19: The Colony
Six misfit teens ditch out on high school and start a colony on Mars. This red planet’s about to get a whole lot of awkward horny.

April 24-26: Office Prison Break
If you think your nine-to-five job is bad, try doing nine to life. At Solutions Inc. you can clock in but you can’t clock out!

May 1-3: No Place Like Home
From failed dreams to nighttime riddles, Emily Kane just can’t seem to get it right. Will she decipher her premonitions in time to save her dead friend Chris? Tune in and find out!

May 8-10: Too Much
Six pretentious artists, one house, and an awful lot of miscommunication equals Too Much… comedy. When these performance artists leave the stage, the real drama begins. Find out what happens when people stop being Neo-Futurists and start being roommates.

May 15-17: The Mime
“Don’t do the crime if you can’t face the mime.” A reluctant superhero mime artist takes on the mafia by thinking outside of the box.
