Would you watch that show? (help with details)?

Would you watch that tv show: a comedy/drama about a girl, who is surrounded by guys and has no close females in her life.

The main characters will be her gay dads, a boyfriend, an ex boyfriend-current friend, a brother/gay best friend/cousin (not sure for that one).

The first season will be about her learning to balance femininity and masculinity and finally getting a girl best friend.

How do you think that sounds, would you watch a show like that?

I have three questions:

1. Do you think it should be a dramedy (Raising Hope; Scrubs) or a sitcom with a dramatic side (How I Met Your Mother; Friends). I think there is some great basics for jokes there, but I don't think I am a great comedic writer. I can write comedy using sarcasm or irony, but not so much actual jokes and I hardly see any good and strong sitcoms these days.

2. What do you think about voice over? I kind of love it, even though it can be cheesy sometimes and I never remember what it's said at the end, but still, when it's good it's really good. (but not like extremely generic and having no real conclusion)

3. Do you think I should make her in high-school or in college? On one hand it is a theme about self-discovery, so high school is way more believable, but on the other 18 is still a teenager and I don't want all the drama that goes with high-school stories. I kind of want her to be more mature, plus her ex will be older and there will be stuff going on with him there too. If she's in college, she'd be in a college like half-an-hour from where she lives, so she'l be home all the time basically.

So what do you think?

    No, sounds boring to me.

    But if you're thinking of writing it...

    1.Sitcom with dramatic side

    2. Voice overs are cheesy

    3. High School

    This stuff has been done before..if you're going to do it..twist it up a bit..
