I'm wondering if I should reconsider two titles for a couple of TV show ideas that came to me this morning: BOOBAPOLOOZA A lesbian couple, who met as breast cancer survivors, work as event planners for breast cancer foundation fundraisers. (based on the work of ReThink Cancer in Toronto) Every episode features a specific event and overcoming the obstacles to pull it off. Events like a Breast Fest Film Fest, Tits 'n Sass comedy nights, seasonal themes, and the celebrities involved would make guest appearances. Every episode would also feature the story of a patient and her struggles with breast cancer. POOPAPOLOOZA A couple work as Johnson&Johnson type team, using their respective medical and psychology expertise to potty train toddlers of wealthy parents. Each episode presents a family and their specific conditions including, bad behaviour, autism, health conditions, mental disorders and family dysfunctional dynamics. To help them organize their business, catalogue their case studies as research for a book and keep the earnings in the family, their college-age daughter, reluctantly, works as their administrative assistant. As a journalism student she inadvertantly finds herself in an opportunistic position to make ALOT of money on the side while doing some industry networking as a celebrity informant to entertainment media outlets. During the first season she works secretly, discreetly behind her parents's back as a "Confidential Informant". She regards it entirley beneathe her and her aspirations as a serious investigative reporter, but they promise her a respectable position when she graduates so she endeavours. The first season ends with the parents finding out her secret and compromised with a client. Can be based in Los Angeles, New York or Washington.

Am I to take it that these are reality shows?
You may want to cast Christina Applegate for the first one!
Christina Applegate!.....phwoar!
Hey! Thanks for the comments everybody! I would NOT have thought of it as a reality show (I don't watch them) but, I could see how it would work. I hate it when a title doesn't just come to me - thousands of words, hundreds of pages and dozens of hours work, no problem! ... one little title ...
love Boobapalooza

Boobapolooza will get you the exact opposite audience than the one that you want. Drunken frat guys yelling "Show us your tits" probably wouldn't be too interested in helping a legitimate cause. It would be a good way to catch rapists, maybe.
I doubt that name would never make it to screen, unless it was a porn comedy.
Actually, Boobapolooza was the name they used themselves for one of their events. That's where I first heard it and the whole show idea just fell into place. They have quite the sense of humour about their marketing. In fact, one of the MOST successful events is always their TITS 'N SASS Comedy nights. They are very serious about getting their message out and empowering women as well as their families who endure breast cancer treatment. ReThink Cancer is all about raising money and a new awareness to conquer cancer.
It works in that context, but is it a TV show?
One of their latest events is RACK -A-THON http://rethinkbreastcancer.com/events/rack-a-thon-calgary/ I LUV their style !! and they do SUCH important work for survivors and their families/loved ones/caregivers Their BREAST FEST film fest always introduces some new filmmakers, check it out!
I thought 'BOOBAPOLOOZA' was Hungarian for: "May I borrow your Weed Wacker"? POOPAPOLOOZA is obviously the best choice...I do believe, "Check Please!"

Hahahahahahaha! James......................very observant.
Hi Marisa. Rather stick to Tit's and Sass!!
or SITS AND TASS
For POOPAPALOOZA if I can't use the title, I was thinking a great theme song would be DE DO DO DO DE DA DA DA by The Police.
So. At the Oscars ... Seth MacFarlane is a yes for BOOBAPOLOOZA and The Dolby is a go for POOPAPOLOOZA ... @BuzzFeedEnt Fear not, those who are worried about the women's bathroom flood at the Dolby. Appears to be on the 2nd floor. No celebs above the 1st.
You had to know this was coming ... I just couldn't resist ... Here's Seth MacFarlane's Boob Song http://www.vulture.com/2013/02/seth-macfarlane-boob-song-video.html @vulture
Update: BOOB and POOP APOLOOZA I now have working outlines ready to start work on these two projects. POOPAPOLOOZA is now FLUSH. I have 6 episode/story issues worked out, and a story arc that lands into the second season. I was going to call it FIRST FLUSH but that would give it the Twitter hashtag #FF which would be totally inundated with the Follow Friday #FF which would annoy viewers away. And also there's a huge diaper corporation already using that term and they would destroy me with litigation. ... but mostly the Twitter thing. BOOBAPOLOOZA is now DEMI TESS. I have 3 episode/events worked out and I'm not quite sure which direction to take the story to end the season, yet. I chose DEMI TESS beause it's a play on 'demi tass' a term referring to 1/2 a cup and also because it solves the problem of naming the lead charactors: Tess and Demi as a lesbian couple. Thank you to everyone who posted their comments on here. I appreciate the input. https://www.facebook.com/PoetryForPeopleWhoHatePoetry https://twitter.com/MarisaTorre
