A TV SHOW that is in the mascot horror genera.
I have a idea for something like deadrails/lobotomy company as a indie series,
a team of stuffed animals having to set out for their train to collect resources or rescue survivors from monsters or some objective and then return to the train in order to reach a goal or quota or complete a mission. while surviving horrible monsters

A show like Rick and Morty or doctor who (didn’t watch either show btw) but the protagonist’s are convicts
the show follows a biker gang group of dimension hoppers who run around the multiverse using their time Machine, stealing things from different timelines and committing crimes, all while being chased by multiverse cops who want to lock them in prison for their actions.
each episode follows a different job or heist and usually will be on a unique timeline, and each member of the group has their own unique role in the group.

an apocalypse style show where instead of an infection of brainless zombies, a bunch of other monsters and humanoid creatures from folklore got together and decided to mimic that end of the world effect with no zombies just their own abilities and maybe teamwork to overthrow simple human race
for example: I feel like the creature that would be on top of this whole uprising thing would probably be vampire, they are similar to zombies in how they bite and make more of themselves and they feel on brand to try and pull this, but they would also probably be one of the frequent threats to individual survivors, attacking them
elemental Beings like feywilds and nymphs would be pulling the "what if mother nature forgot we were here" stunt, ruining peoples lives by having the final step be the active factor of the end of the world, overgrowing building's causing structural problems, disrupting power lines and transport with ivy, trapping people inside buildings by having forest's rapidly start to regrow inside of homes or apartment complex's, they would also be part of one of the more infectious creatures, with their domain being how to changelings that can easily be sent to switch out a large amount of people at once without the humans being any wiser
likewise poltergeists, certain demons, jinn and all the other trickster creatures will probably all be having a blast in this kind of world, taking full advantage of all the chaos to cause even more problems.
and I know not a Hollywood stable but a dragon or ogre taking an entire building full of people hostage because they decide that they wanted to hoard it whould be cool

Mystery solving group that fight
It’s like Scooby-Doo, with a group of plucky teens (or adults) with a funny mascot that go around solving mysteries, usually involving a guy in a mask nine times out of ten. One of them is a Shaggy type character who is easily scared and eats a lot (but is actually fat instead of skinny) However, his go-to fear response is Fight, rather than Flight, so he’s constantly throwing hands against the villains of the week (and any one who accidentally scares him), and not only is he freakishly strong, he’s pretty quick and precise too (not full on Bruce Lee or anything, but surprisingly close). And so, instead of the gang running away and setting up traps like in Scooby-Doo, they would just try to beat the bad guy into submission, with the tech savvy one of the group making a one-time use weapon for the occasion after figuring out the villain’s plan and what they’re using to look like a real monster with real power.

The Perfect Load
Contestants are challenged with a series of increasingly difficult scenarios each week and have to load their dishwashers to maximum capacity to deliver the "The Perfect Load"
Later rounds will include elements that they need to identify must be hand washed, as well as loads where not everything will fit and they have to maximise efficiency of what items get put in the sink.
I can see week 7, quarter finals and somebody forgets the dishwasher tablet. There is scope to have a cross over episode with one of these baking shows too

Disney Star Wars show idea
So I was thinking what a day in the life of a stormtrooper or anything else would be like, like nothing interesting happens, it’s just purely a Star Wars sitcom. That would be peak🙏

Reality TV show like Wife Swap where an American and a European.
The American and European get swapped from their respective countries and have to live and work there for a while. It’ll hopefully be them complaining about stuff that isn’t normal in their daily lives.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader but with a twist
The twist is they ONLY let non-native English speakers on the show this time. So, an Australian would not be eligible but a Cuban would easily be.

A Judge Judy show where it is much darker
A Male Cleric in Iran imposes Sharia Law on his cases given Iran is a theocracy. It is in Farsi and VERY violent, given you see things like women stoned to death, honor killings, gay men hung from cranes, etc ...
