Whatever Wednesday: Flounder, Flounder, King of the Sea!

Marc and I were hanging out, when we were suddenly struck by an idea for a TV show. Imagine the old Flipper show but instead of an intelligent, bottle-nosed dolphin with a heart of gold saving the citizens of Florida, they had to rely on a brown, woefully ignorant, flat fish.  This show would be called Flounder. 

Flounder! Flounder! Faster than lightning!

Characters would die off one by one as Flounder simply burrowed deeper into the sand at their cries for help. "Quick, Flounder, Old Man Smithers is stuck in the fishing net!"   "Save us, Flounder! You've got to deactivate the depth charges!"  Flounder would be aware that something dangerous is happening and that he is loosely involved, but his understanding of these situations would never develop much further than that.  Eventually the citizens of Florida will come to hate Flounder, as their aquatic savior turns out to be an apathetic and emotionless failure.
