Concept: Star Trek spinoff series set in the Q Continuum. Every episode depicts the Continuum as an entirely different setting and with a variety of period costumes, for the sake of the audience's limited human ability to perceive it (one episode will absolutely be be a Dixon Hill noir-parody complete with narration). The show is a fairly deadpan comedy, of which the primary running gag is that the plot is largely incomprehensible owing to the fact that every single major character is named "Q" and the dialogue does absolutely nothing to mitigate this. A pivotal moment at the end of a late-season episode is a dramatic revelation to the tune of "Wait, who was it? Q, or Q?" "Neither. *It was Q*" and then doesn't clarify which of three equally-plausible characters it could be to for the next three episodes. Another, smaller running gag is that once an episode, someone mentions Quinn, or some other Q who took on a unique name, and this is the only time the Q's don't immediately know which Q they're talking about, i.e. "At least we don't have to worry about Q's antics anymore." "Wait, *which* Q?" "Oh, uh, Quinn."

"Say goodbye, Q." "(turns) Oh. (calls out) <i>Goodbye, Q!"</i>

The actors may be told which Q is which, and even the scripts they're given might be written as "Where's Q-Jane?" "Oh, I saw her with Q-Marcie and Q-Bill" or by the names of the actors, and that might be how they do some of the rehersals. But by the time anything is actually recorded, they're saying "Where's Q?" "Oh, I saw her with Q and Q". Actors auditioning for this series are chosen specifically for their ability to say things like that with a completely straight face.
