A Sketch Show About Words - A Dream That Says A Thousand Things

I've seen how sketch comedies like So Random and Diddy TV can get annoying at times, and I often wished Diddy TV had an improvement to make it better: if it included viewer participation and had one word which the characters belted out throughout the show, and then viewers would have to shout the word as loud as they can at the end of each show. Well, I dreamed about just that.

There was a sketch show on CBBC about words, mostly a mature version of CBeebies' Yakka Dee. Each episode focused on one stupid or nonsense made up word that the hosts and characters encouraged viewers to shout out when they saw a sign pop up at the corner of the screen. Throughout the many skits and songs aired through the programme, the characters would belt out the word, which would pop up in big letters on the screen. Each episode also included a young guest which would come into the studio, and the hosts would encourage the child to say the word for the first time, then at the end of each programme, everyone shouts out the word altogether and has a boogie when the child finally succeeds in saying today's word.

I think that'd be a good idea for a sketch show that'd teach viewers English, don't you think? I think so. Well, it'll make sketch shows less annoying if they thought up a comedy sketch show that teaches viewers English and had made up words.
