Today’s challenge comes from a reader who asked that we imagine that there’s a fundy television station coming to your town. What kind of shows might you expect to see featured?
Here are a few from the suggester to get you started:
The Big Bang Theory is A Lie
How I Met Your Mother At Bible College
Game of Platform Thrones
That 50’s Show
Rules of Courtship
House of Decision Cards
Channel 1: Sheffey
Channel 2: Sheffey
Channel 3: Sheffey
…..Channel 337: Sheffey etc….
LOL
Honorary Doctor Who
Orphan White
Spongebob Square Culottes
Agents of Shield of Faith
19 kids and counting (oh, a mainstream crossover!)
LOL!!!
These are Awesome!
Lol…….these are great!! I would watch “Honorary Doctor Who” and “Spongebob Square Culottes.” 🙂
Pimp My Ride: Church Bus Edition
The Grace Livingston Hill Movie Channel, full of sweet, chaste, virginal women who cry over their love of JAYzuz, know they are forever ruined if a strange man kisses them, and sink into unfathomable paroxysms if a shred of real intelligence dares run across the pristine emptyness of their pretty little brains.
They can also dress stylishly and modestly with barely any money and whip up a filling, aesthetically pleasing, wholesome meal with a few items in the kitchen.
Deadliest Catch (Fishing for souls in crime ridden neighborhoods)
Awesome!
Sex and The City Bless God!
Elementary.
(A show about Fundy college curricula.)
The X Sinner Files
Perfect Love Casteth out Fear Factor
The Pastor’s Office
The Man Whose U.N.C.L.E. Is The Head Pastor
(How to get a job in Fundystan.)
Get Smart
(Critics liked it, but it was cancelled for lack of Fundy interest.)
Love it!
The Voice (Preacher Boy Edition)
Give a short sermon and the greats of fundy pulpits turn in their chair to pick guys to have a spot of becoming a MOG. Haymen! Alliteration, proof texting, and unnecessary yelling excite the judges!
Now that would be a major hit with the fundy crowd! They could invite their unsaved family, neighbors, etc. over to watch it since they can’t get them to come to their fundy church. They would be exposed to the Gospel. They could even make it a potluck supper. A bonus there……..food along with the preaching.
My Mother the Car with Armor-Alled Tires and Anti-Obama Stickers
(A Fundy remake of the greatest sit-com in history.)
The Sopranos Who Sing Only Hymns With No Back-Beat Without Drums or Guitars
Mission: Implausible

Greenville 29614
Everybody Loves Jack
24 : Hours of soul winning
Vikings– About To Overrun Contemporary America
That would definitely play in Wisconsin.
My Favorite Martin (Luther, not Heidegger)
And certainly not Martin Luther King!
Remember? They aren’t Protestants. Luther was a Johnny-Come-lately; the IFB was around since Christ’s day!
Dateline: Predators – a show about Pastor’s African Safari…er…mission trip
This Old Path
The Biggest Tither

F(undy) Troop
Brat Patrol–A series about PKs and DKs
Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations.
We follow the adventures of Bro. Bourdain as he eats at every Cracker Barrel, Ryan’s and Golden Corral in the country.
Being such a Bourdain fan, I’d pay good money to watch that one. His sarcastic profanity would make it hilarious:)
Plus he would have to brown-bag it. I cannot imagine agreeing to go to any of those establishments totally sober.
Jeopardy-where question the answers……….never mind. True fundies never question the answers.
My Favorite Wife
Cary Grant stars as an MoG who gives “private counseling” to married women in the congregation. Supporting cast changes each season.
Robin Hood-the real life story of the mog, and how he collects from the poor to add to his wealth.
catch phrase-the laborer is worthy of his sire…
*****hire
George may have hit on a correction in his attempt to mess with me. Nepotism is strong here

Phil Kidd and Larry Brown present their hilarious comedy acts, with musical interludes by Ron Hamilton.
how about:
8 Fundy/Legastic rules for dating my “pure, innocent, submissive, Proverbs 31” daughter
Only 8 rules???
Courting! Don’t you know, they kissed dating goodbye!
Now, now… no kissing before marriage
Last of the Summer Grape Juice
Three old preachers wander around the town and countryside, soul-winning.
Set it in England (hey, good old’ King James lived there!) and this might be worth watching. 😀
Any ideas about casting?
Cast of Characters:
Peter Ruckman, Ian Paisley, and Jim Standridge.
Paisley tries to blow up something different every week, as Standridge fights his eternal nemesis, young Cox in the video room. Finally, Ruckman does a colored chalk drawing as the ending credits roll.

Someone on YouTube added this wonderful footnote:
‘The writer of this song, Sid Ramin, ALSO wrote “Music To Watch Girls By.”‘
very fitting, indeed!
Fundymaniacs
Watch as Dr. Pinky and Dr. Brain plot to evangelize the world.
You beat me to it! But are you thinking what I’m thinking?…..
The Brady Texas Bunch
When two IFB churches in Brady, Texas, get togther to form one, hilarity ensues!
My grandmother grew up on a ranch outside Brady, Texas, and it would make an excellent setting for this series.
Two IFB churches would NEVER combine. Too many doctrinal differences.
Here’s the story of a Baptist preacher
Who was counselling a young girl all alone.
And to help him recall their “sessions,”
He used his telephone.
Here’s the story of a second pastor.
He was preaching down in Brady, Texas too.
And the second loved taxidermy–
He had his own stuffed zoo!
And then one day that first preacher was arrested;
So the deacons met the second over lunch.
They decided to merge the congregations.
That’s the way we all became the Brady Bunch!
🙂
1st stanza *to recall*
2nd stanza *second preacher*
