This probably won't work, but its worth a look...

So when asked to create a hybrid of genres for a tv show, the first two things that came to mind were family guy and old western cowboy shows, like gunsmoke and various others. I know this sounds like mixing oil and water, but i think it deserves a quick look over. First of all, family guy offers many things to this hybrid ( i am not saying i am a family guy fan, i do watch it every once and a while, but i am not obsessed). For example, there are many jokes directed toward minorities, and many sexual jokes. College aged males eat this junk up. You can compliment this crude humor with a good ol' fashion gunfight. I think this new hybrid show shouldnt be animated like family guy, because to me, having a real live person say some ridiculously rude joke is way funnier than a picture. And plus gunfights wouldnt be as sweet in cartoon. But as i think about this hybrid, it probably would be awful. For some reason i couldnt see a "your mom" joke coming out of John Wayne's mouth. Even if a station would pick up this tv series, i doubt it would last a whole season.
