The Palin: The once happy family of a same sex couple and their six adopted children begin to fall apart when the eldest son brings home his Tea Party girlfriend from a Bible Belt state, and she proudly announces that she voted for McCain/Palin in 2008, and what's more, hopes Sarah runs in 2016 so she can VOTE FOR HER AGAIN. Sarah Palin ruins everything.

I know this show is based on an Australian show, but it really sounds like it was based on the burrito incident in the movie 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy'. Here's a quote taken directly from the narrator of the Anchorman movie.

 

"But soon, with a simple act of littering, everyone's life would change forever."

The Honk: Inspired by a real life road rage case, where a teenage girl leans over and honks the horn of her mother's car after another driver passes too close. That driver threatens Mom who goes home and gets her son and his gun so they can chase this guy down and have a gun battle in the street, resulting in death, arrests, and escalating idiocy.

The Honk: Inspired by a real life road rage case,

 

Even better, unlike The Slap, it has a natural sequel: 

 

The Truck:  Dad warned Zeke that if didn't want to ride in the back, he should have kept his hands off the controls.  That roll of duct tape sure did come in handy, both for a seat belt and a mouth guard.

 

 

I would watch many of these shows, and in some cases I think I have.
