Just for a laugh.... (St. Louis: lofts, live in, bus)

[normie]

Over on the General U.S. Forum we think it's unfair that Hollywood hasn't come up with a sit-com set in St. Louis. So, we're trying to write one--and while we're at it we're trying to include plenty of regional references. Just thought a few of you might want to contribute (or just check it out for a laugh).

The thread is called something like "What do you think of tv shows about your city"

They should film COPS there. Filling the time slot would not be problem....

the John Laroquette show was set in a St. Louis bus station. (Then again that was more than 10 years ago!)

John Larroquette used to have a great show called just "The John Larroquette Show" based on him managing the bus station downtown. Funny show that ran for four years. See here:

"The John Larroquette Show" (1993)

This was my stab at writing a "St. Louis Sitcom". Just wondering how close to the mark it is... I'm not the familiar with St. Louis, I was just using a map and what little I could remember about the city.

So... what would you change, and what turned out to be dead on?

This is a sitcom about a group of young people who live in Creve Cour. MO.

They know each other through their job at Anheuser Busch.

After work, they get together at Woofies, where everybody likes to eat bratwurst while they make up new ways to bash L.A. on city-data.

Wacky hijinks occur! To give it a regional flavor, some of these hijinks include:
1. A car accident while driving the Our Lady of the Snow Shrine.
2. Trying to build a truly majestic stove for Thanksgiving Dinner at the Majestic Stove Lofts.
3. Debating the right way to pronounce Creve Cour.

There are a few really colorful characters, too. They are:
1. A confused neighbor who thinks she is Georgia Frontiere.
2. A young metrosexual from Pennsylvania. He got drunk one night and found himself penniless and lost in St. Louis. Wacky hijinks occur because of his endless attempts to return to his beloved Scranton. But alas, just like on Gilligan, something always foils his plan.
3. The mysterious-yet-beautiful PittNurse70. It’s rumored she is involved with some sort of covert operation in Colorado

They have a regular ritual that involves the arch. It is:

Seeing who can exchange an article of clothing before the tram gets to the observation deck. Nobody challenges the geeky guy anymore because he always takes off his shoes and his feet smell. And EVERYBODY wants to challenge the busty blonde!

It's funny...

I love the neighbor who this she is Georgia Fronteearrrrr (Why does that woman insist on saying her damn name like that?)
No one hear argues about how to pronounce Creve Couer. We know.
True St. Louisians would never go up in the arch.
