“My Landlord The Devil” © 2002
The sitcom is about the Devil (i.e. The Grand Pooh-Bah of Darkness) who has been cursed by God and as a suitable punishment has been cast out to Hell’s Kitchen New York City. He has been reduced to being a landlord / janitor for a low rent apartment complex; a private hell of his own with rent control. There are over 30 fully developed varied characters in this apartment complex / hell. The main foil to the devil is his newest tenant, George Bedeviled. This likeable guy has had a number of unfortunate incidents, which has led him to living in an apartment within the Devil’s complex (apartment suitably numbered 667). Unfortunately, he resides below the Devil’s apartment (i.e. Hell), which is the actual gateway to Hell. As you can imagine, hijinks will ensue as a normal American young man comes face to face with the actual smoke and brimstone breathing Lucifer; not your normal everyday landlord tenant situation, though we’ve all had a landlord that seems he might be related to the red caped dark master. Hmmm…. Maybe…. Just maybe…. Nah, there’s only one landlord that is the actual Devil and we have him. He lives like a standard slumlord in a lavish apartment with all the luxuries a demonic master could want, while poor George lives in hellish squalor. Imagine trying to get your landlord to fix your toilet, when your landlord happens to be the Devil.

This is the starting place for an endless series of hilarious misadventures, as neither Satan (the Nether-World’s Dark Master) nor George ever seems to escape the everyday torments of a New York apartment in Hell. This is not your normal sitcom, and with the metaphysical elements of this universe, pretty much anything we want to happen can and usually does occur.
