An ABC studio meeting

"What classic movie concept have we not yet ripped off to make a crappy TV show?"
"Groundhog Day."
"Should we make it a comedy or a drama?"
"Comedies don't get ratings anymore."
"Maybe we could make it a reality show!"
[Gunshots, Idiot Writer dies]
"Okay, drama it is."
"What should we call it?"
"Rodent Day!"
[More gunshots, Another Idiot Writer dies]
"De Ja Vu!"
"That's going to be a Denzel Washington movie. We don't want viewers to be confused. And we don't want to be sued."
"How about Day Ja Vu - you know, with an 'a' and a 'y'?"
"How about I put details of your affair on Chuck's teleprompter tonight?"
"How about Daybreak?"
"Hm, it's definitely punchy."
"And meaningless."
"Yes, punchy and meaningless. Let's get Taye Diggs and start filming."
"What about the writing?"
[Room fills with laughter]
"Greg, you are a cut-up. If we ever start doing comedy again, you should be involved. Oh, and you're fired."

P.S. I know this is kind of late. Both of my fanatical readers probably expected me to do this weeks ago.
