I've had this idea for a few years about a sci-fi comedy, for either serialized prose fiction or a web video series. I call it Torture Shopping Network, though that's not much of a description of what I'm writing.
To summarize the plot, TSN is basically what Star Trek could have been if they weren't so busy being so perfect and heroic. Sure, wacky science fiction stuff happens, but it's not as over the top as being whisked across the galaxy by a weird looking alien who spends way too much time with Wesley Crusher. Oh, and, if you don't like SF with whiz kids in it, this is not the show for you, because most of the crew is under the physical age of eighteen.
The captain (yes, named Hatterax, because I've taken that as my nickname) is a socially challenged man, who, due to an accident with a stasis pod, hasn't aged since he was fifteen, which was about 400 years before the story. His executive officer, named Kent Baldama, is like a space cowboy on steroids. He never bothers with his uniform, instead wearing a blue jean shirt with, you guessed it, blue jeans. He knows how to have a good time, but, to his dismay, nobody on the ship (called Novgorod, because all the good names were taken) cares. Rounding out the very small bridge crew is Lieutenant Commander STH (pronounced soth, with the o sounding like it would in soft, and stands for Science and Tactical Hologram), a holographic punk rock chick who is everything Captain Hatterax isn't: confident, kind, modest, and generous.

Story ideas are welcome, because I haven't really come up with anything even halfway decent yet.

Thank you for reading this, and for responding.
