I would totally watch a show called Gibbler. Every episode would be "very special."
Each episode would begin wtih Kimmy walking out the door in her happy-go-lucky way then she walks the 20 feet to her own scary, dilapidated home (just reuse the exterior shots from Psycho). The entire show is shot with Dutch angles and fish-eye lenses about 10 inches from each actor's face so it feels super claustrophobic.
Her parents are heavily influenced by German expressionist art, so they're constantly messing with her and making her cry, which is all part of an ongoing project they call "non-consensual performance art."
Most of the conversations follow this pattern: "Mom, what's for dinner?" "Your favorite! ANTS!" "I think I'll mooch off the Tanners again." [canned laughter]
The script makes regular references to having a little brother- even after the season-ending two episode arc in which her parents convince her that she accidentally killed him and blocked the memory. She undergoes primal scream therapy and learns that he (and the Tanner family) are fictions invented by her own mind to mask the pain of being alive.
