   My current-events geopolitical-public-figures sitcom idea is an update of The Odd Couple in which a series of coincidences and Kafkaesque absurdities force Hosni Mubarak and Mohammed Morsi to spend their respective house arrests in the same cramped quarters.

     And here I thought you’d go with Frank & Ben: The Vatican Files, a mismatched buddy-pope pic about a couple of pontiffs trying to unravel a massive conspiracy within the Curia and the Vatican bank.

   The Walking Dead Pope

   Granted, it’s more of a basic cable drama than a sitcom.

       “It’s not chemistry, Mr. White, it’s transubstantiation. And no matter how closely you follow the rubrics, you’re never gonna be able to do what I do. I’m the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and you’re the Congregational Assembly of Mudville. Say my name.”

       “You’re Benedict.”

       “You’re…right.”

         ‘You think I have some overweening pride that clouds my judgment? No. I simply respect the liturgy. The liturgy must be respected.’

         ‘I’m not standing on the Rock: I am the Rock. A Protestant minister preaches that Communion ‘represents’ the Body and Blood, and you think that of me? No. This is the Body and Blood.’

     Still not as ridiculous as the last Tom Hanks project that took place at the Vatican.

   Gerald once had an idea for a Christian Irish Spring commercial, “godly yes, but I like him too.”
