WritingCollectible prompt
Sitcom pilot outline about your friends or team
Act as a sitcom showrunner. Outline the pilot episode of {{show_name}}, a half-hour comedy about my real friends or team, set mostly in {{venue}}. It's a gift for the group, and everyone's in on it.
Before you write, ask me for each main character's first name, their role in the group and one harmless quirk.
Then give me:
1. A logline and the show's comic engine: why these people keep landing in funny trouble
2. A sketch of each character: what they want, their comic flaw and a catchphrase they'd really say
3. The episode beat by beat: cold open, A plot, B plot, act break, climax and a closing tag
4. Two running gags that pay off at the end
5. The cold open, written as a short script
Keep it warm: tease habits and choices, never looks, weight, money, love lives or anything private, and make everyone likable by the end, so the whole group would be happy to watch it together.
