Evolution Media Group, Pacific
'Spaghetti'© is a high power, high speed, mixed medium, multiple format, mocumentary, parody & skit comedy, stunt & action, narrative, episodic, occasional song & dance, dramatic comedy thriller series.
Our story center's around our main TV & FILM Production Personality, "Spaghetti", & his freelance "crew" of unwitting cohort's & accomplices.
The entire lot, would much rather be filming another show, working on a different project, "maybe even a mayonnaise commercial', instead of being contractually bound by "The Media Channel" to produce "this Horrible Disaster !!", A.K.A. "Spaghetti".
Spaghetti & his Crew have been duped into the starring roles of this 'Reality Television' series, fighting to survive in all the chaos of Live Broadcast Television & the horrors of Tinsel Town that only LA filmmakers could know or understand.
Our show is essentially 15 different types & format's of shows, all of which have been jammed into this same time slot, because of a lack of planning & horrible business ethics.
Spaghetti & crew must hit the ground running, pick up the pieces & make the magic happen.
Season 1
Sn.1,Ep.1 “The A’s to Z’s” The crew assembles to shoot an alphabet skit & pickup shots. We accidentally broadcast the finished segment, with the letters “QRS-VUT-WXYZ” & also learn we’re actually on TV & stuck in Television time “NOW” with no real plan.
Sn.1,Ep.2 “Back in Action” He’s called back to complete a full episode & sign a Deal Memo. He go’s through an elaborate H3 Hummer chases Bike sequence to an important Lunch meeting. Later he fights with a belligerent Extra who mimes well.
Sn.1,Ep.3 “ First & Final Time Line Equinox” This is the first time Spaghetti sees the Naked Time Line Streakier-‘Equinox’, from the future. He’s our ‘Biggest Fan’ & explains to Spaghetti he’s been jumping back from the Future, to tell him not to join the show or sign any contract’s. He’s tried a bunch of times & ‘Now’ only missing the start by 2 episodes. Spaghetti suggest, if he’s really from the future, ”why not just find your ‘present self’ & play the stock market?” Equinox never thought of that before, & supposes he could, because his ‘past self’ is probably sitting on the couch watching TV up the street & around the corner. (This 'get rich' suggestion is why Equinox never succeeded in saving us all)
Sn.1,Ep.4 “Attack of the Power Rangers”-Rogue Producer ‘Jim’ book’s the Power Rang…-OPPS, ‘Super Color Hero’s’ to attack Spaghetti & crew to boost Ratings. Caught off guard & unaware, Spag. & crew accidentally execute 23 Power Rang- ‘Super Color Hero’s’ in self defense, during a Live National Broadcast. Arrange an impromptu ‘Media Blackout & Cover Up’ switching to cooking & home improvement skits. Jim is jailed.
Sn.1,Ep.5 “Stoopid Mule Pushes Envelope” On a desert shoot, Western style Spaghetti meets Salvador Dali. Simultaneously pushing the envelope & beating the dead horse of Comedy. Rogue Producer Jim calls from prison, noting we’re missing a critical “Razor cuts eyeball” shot. Then things get really out of control. 1000 freelancers show up to ‘get the shot’.
Sn.1Ep.6 “Guy In A Box” one of our crew gets stuck in a split screen box & even worse, when we cut to commercials his air runs short. Although we had a lot of other plans, the entire episode turns into a rescue mission. It Go’s on & on like ‘baby Jessica’ or a miner thing, with rescue trucks & News crews. We finally get him out & he quits the show.
Sn.1Ep.7 “Betting on the Horses” The Horse from ‘Desert Episode 5’ has nowhere to go… He Talks, is surprisingly good at Kung-Fu, Dancing & has been narrating the weekly show openings all along. The crew begs & coerces Spaghetti to keep him around, figuring we might be able to book him out for birthdays or bat mitzvah’s. Spaghetti hates the whole idea.
Sn.1Ep.8 “Cutting the Stunt Budget” Due to a tight budget, we must downsize our stunt sequences, progressively devolving from big car flips & Efx, through lower grades of animation, & finally into fighting with Flip Book sketches & Shadow Boxing.

Sn.2,Ep.1 “The Love Season” The women demand to do less stunts & action, opting for more sensitive & feminine, family oriented programming. If the guys don’t cooperate the women threaten to splinter off & create their own internet programming or possibly lesbian porn.
Sn.2,Ep.3 “Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow” we keep seeing Pansy Spaghetti doing a faggy looking , but well sung & performed, Annie Song & Dance. He denies any involvement & says its impossible. Dexter explains we're hosting from ‘today’, & we won’t shoot & edit it all until tomorrow. That night Spaghetti wrestles with Angels & Demons about the future of the show. The following day he has to sing & dance like a Pansy for “professional courtesy” & “not wanting to let America down”

Sn.3,Ep.12 “Spaghetti Phone Home” Dexter uses Coconuts, Volcanic Cilicia, Plastic ocean debris, Palm Fronds, Wood, Twigs & collected film crew junk to make an entertainment center for the hut, a garage door opener for our storage area, a water purification system, a mechanical foot massager, OHH, & a Satellite Communications Array to try to get us rescued.

Sn.4,Ep.6 “Call The Feds” First appearance of Govt. Spooks, Mr. Right & Mr. Left. Agents of the mysterious “Department of Internal Intelligence”. DII books the Spaghetti crew to produce counter intuitive & misleading Media Accounts. (Fake News)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sn.5,Ep.7 “Twilight, Time Zone, Trauma” In the most difficult & shocking dilemma of linear cohesiveness yet, Dexter realizes we could do all 9 seasons, Or, we could probably cram it all into 5 to 6 seasons, depending on how cheep the producers & network people want to be. Spaghetti Vomits at the implications. Thankfully a giant Cat chases them through our Maze/film set, which is apparently inside a glass bowl as a Giant Alien Girl watches & controls from above.

Sn.5,Ep.14 ‘Spaghetti Wall, Take 39’ Desperate, disenfranchised & forlorn Spaghetti dances through an Epic Rock-Opera, while contemplating all the woes & drama of today’s demanding Global Media Industry Empire & reckoning with his faith & core issues about ‘the meaning of it all’.
