Why I can't sleep

Reality Show Pitch:
Mobile Home
Learn about the struggle and victories of this middle class family as they go about their daily lives.  In wheelchairs.
(Every member of the family is in a wheelchair)

**Everyone I've told about this dream heard be say "sit-com" instead of "reality show", but maybe it would work as a sit-com**

Sit-Com Pitch:
Holy Rollers
A family of born-again bikers who all wiped out and are now in wheelchairs open a hotel.
(Episode 1: The piano.  Each member of the family tries to buy and get rid of the same piano, which won't fit through the front revolving door.  In the end they find the perfect spot near the front desk only to learn no one can play.)

**The "laughing at people with disabilities" aspect of these plots is troubling to me, but it could be turned around into an empowering project if disabled actors play these roles.  Fat Actress wouldn't be funny if Christe hadn't been willing to make fun of herself. **
