My Idea For A New Fox-Box Show! (Ep. Synopsis now up)

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 09-14-2003, 09:51 PM

Well the new Fox-Box season begins and I’m already thinking about the next season. Here's an animated TV show concept I'm developing hoping to pitch to 4KIDS as a new Fox-Box Show.

I don't have a title for it yet. And, I have no character designs for it yet, because I can't decide which art style to use. I'm used to drawing anime-styled, and I am going for the kind of wackiness of anime-shows like FLCL, and Tôkyô-Pig. But, the show takes place clearly in the U.S.A., so a more American style might work better. I'm also considering a "semi-anime" style like the new TMNT show has. Any suggestions for title and/or art-style are greatly appreciated.

Also, while the fights will be quite brutal, and usually to the death, there will be NO blood. They will also be loaded with so much Looney-Tunes-style Squash & Stretch that there is NO way for the fights to be taken seriously enough to upset anyone! However, dead characters will not be resurrected!

As for the Music, I’m thinking Jazz, Blues and plenty of both!!!

Here's the concept:

A Boy named Mack Monroe is about to have his life turned upside-down. First, he wakes up in the morning to find a shock on TV. A man looking like something out of a 1950’s sitcom is barbequing. “Kiss the Cook” apron intact! And, he says, “There have been a few changes while you were all asleep. We have staged a bloodless coup! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Hank: Your new emperor!!!”. Things just keep getting weirder from there. Mack picks up a lead-pipe only to find that he is gifted in Lead-Pipe-Path a Martial Art similar to Kendô but with a lead-pipe instead of a sword. And, an alien cowboy keeps showing up to bug him at inconvenient moments. Also, two pretty Girls, both sadistic, one with a tazer , the other one with a bottle, are competing for his heart (Think of an insane Betty and Veronica). Also, a mallet-carrying psycho named Hammerac is pursuing him like Captain Ahab, and he keeps getting challenged to many duels to the death. And, he discovers a knack for scat singing and a love of competitive scat singing!

If anyone requests, I can post character profiles and/or episode synopsis!!!
