Red Sky at night - Rupert Murdoch experiences political lycanthropy. Each night he becomes a rabid communist and must tackle the ghost of transvestite right-winger J. Edgar Hoover in a lingerie contest.

After I looked up what lycanthropy meant I liked this one sir.

I like this idea. But I also like the concept of Red Sky At Night being the regular Patrick Moore show filmed entirely in Predator-vision.

Holby slew
A huge number of uninspired emergency service based dramas, set in the fictional town of Holby, in one big dollop.
The Facebook of Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock investigates, just who threw a badger at him, and who shares his movie preferences. Before taking Kettamine with Watson and dancing all night.
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

I'd sue any one.
Johnny Fransico sexually assaults 200 potential Olivers, then sues them all, then gets pissed, and wins a Bafta.
Most viewers wish he'd make comedy teapots again.
Now there's an idea.
Sherlock Homo, and Dr Watson-my-cock, in the Get-Down of the Baskervilles.
Puntastic!

Facebook of Sherlock Holmes has been done, unfortunately. Worse, I can't remember who by. It's a live sketch group. Possibly an Edinburgh thing. But I recall being mega-impressed when someone told me about it. Kudos to Sooty for coming up with it independently, though.

I don't recall any rules stating that show names could only be suggested once.

Yeh but that's a direct name copy, that's just wrong.
Are you being reserved?
Extremely polite sitcom set in department store, where even one is emotionally unexpressive
Are you being preserved
Grace Brother's opens a taxidermy/embalming department unfortunately the jokes are just too rotten to be preserved.
Are you mentally disturbed?
Captain Peacock sucumbs to vision flashbacks from his days running an SAS deathsquad in Malaya. He kills every one, but first he's gonna stuff Mrs Slocombes pussy.
Are you conserved?
Sitcom set in a jam shop, starring jam.
