Here's an idea...
Let's take all of DC Comics' top Super-heroes... and make a sitcom out of them!
That's exactly what this was, laughtrack and all. Think 'Superfriends' in live action form. This series contained a total of two episodes, the first one being all of the heroes trying to spoil a plot of world domination against a number of villians. And it all took place between a park, a gas station, a dirt road, and their headquarters.
The second episode was a roast hosted by Ed McMahon, where all of the heroes were humiliated by former friends and family members. Just plain painful to watch.
