It's strange how barely anyone has noticed that The CW has slowly started weeding out their half-hour comedies. The few that remain are stuck on Friday night. The rest, with the exception of the always interesting Reaper, are the same tired boy-meets-girl teen dramas that every high school guy who hopes to score on his prom night has to watch and fully document.

One sitcom, however, isn't going down without a fight. It is scratching and clawing its way through earth and sand as it dangles on the edge of a cliff and tries to maintain its identity...by completely changing it.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the half-hour sitcom The Game will completely re-pitch itself to The CW as an hour-long comedy- drama. Some call it a "dramedy," but I like to call it a "comma" just to #*$& with people's heads.

It's a bold move on the show's part, but bold moves don't always make for good chances. The Game barely has an audience now and The CW isn't known for taking chances on shows they don't know will have definite, huge payoffs.

Besides, has such a thing ever been attempted before? Imagine if certain comedies or dramas found themselves in dire straights and decided to completely alter their reason for existing to save their own screen time.

Kings could be a wacky sitcom about a frustrated nobleman who never wants to sleep with his wife and is always being bothered by his annoying next door neighbor, Gath.

South Park would be a gritty reality show about four kids struggling to survive in the crippling emotional jungle of a small town that's hard to live in and even harder to leave.

ER would basically be Scrubs, but with a Dr. Cox that you wished you could punch in the junk twice as hard as the one on TV now.

American Idol would be a show that doesn't make babies cry blood.
