Shows Oswald Loomis worked on before joining LexCorp
Shows Oswald worked on before joining Lexcorp.
Since king crimson showed interest, I'll briefly elaborate on these shows from Oswald's resume. The show titles parody real-life programs from the same years he's listed to have worked on them, though the content itself doesn't resemble those shows. It's an interesting exercise, though I'm unsure if it qualifies as an omake.
The Moderation Patrol
In an era of radical change, an underground movement emerges with a mission so moderate it's extreme. Welcome to The Moderation Patrol, a fringe social movement where passionate centrists wage a tepid war against the cardinal sin of having strong opinions. In their beige-colored safehouse, they plot their most ambitious mission yet: to make the 1960s just a little more like the 1950s.
Set in 1966 America, this satirical dramedy follows Jack Leland, a fanatically middle-of-the-road crusader dedicated to enforcing reasonable behavior at any cost. Armed with suggestion boxes and focus groups, the Moderation Patrol infiltrates both counterculture and establishment circles with a single mission: to ensure nobody gets too excited about anything.
Watch as Jack and his zealously neutral associates mediate between hippies and squares, break up too-peaceful anti-war rallies, and ensure rock bands maintain acceptable decibel levels. But as the cultural revolution intensifies, our moderates face their greatest crisis yet: how far should one go to enforce moderation? From breaking up poetry slams for being "a bit too emotional" to infiltrating conservative groups to suggest more casual dress codes, the Moderation Patrol walks the world's most cautious tightrope, earning universal dislike along the way.
When Jack's right-hand woman Danielle Connors starts organizing increasingly well-structured protests against excessive protest, the group faces an existential question: In a world of extremes, is militant moderation the only answer? And if so, wouldn't that make them... extremists?
The C.I.A
Welcome to the world's most misunderstood cooking school, the Culinary Institute of America, where Chef Julia Preston's biggest challenge isn't just teaching aspiring culinarians – it's dealing with the constant stream of foreign spies who keep infiltrating her classes, convinced it's a front for the other CIA. Between teaching knife skills to trained hitmen and explaining to confused operatives that "deep cover" simply refers to casserole lids, Chef Preston's life never has a dull moment.
What starts as chaos turns into a game of cat-and-mouse as Julia uncovers a surprising knack for counterespionage and a good understanding of when to turn up the heat, secretly outmaneuvers corporate spies, foreign agents, and real operatives—all while teaching the next generation of top chefs.
With a clueless undercover CIA agent believing he's in a high-stakes shadow war, foreign transfer students, culinary aspirants unknowingly caught in the crossfire, and a revolving door of espionage mishaps, The C.I.A. serves up a perfect blend of sharp wit, high-stakes hijinks, and mouthwatering cuisine.
All-Star Jam
In this groundbreaking musical competition, genre boundaries are meant to be broken. Each week, twelve contestants from vastly different musical backgrounds – from classical violinists to heavy metal guitarists, jazz pianists to hip-hop producers – are randomly paired into duos with just 48 hours to create and perform an original fusion piece that honors both their styles.
Mentored by legendary musicians and judged by a panel of industry icons, these artists must push beyond their comfort zones to create something truly unique. As the season progresses, successful contestants must form larger groups, leading to even more complex musical experiments. With elimination looming each week, tensions rise as artists struggle to balance artistic integrity with commercial appeal, all while learning to appreciate and adapt to unfamiliar musical languages.
Tommorow's Terrors
1952: The world has changed. What began as isolated reports of prophetic dreams has evolved into a global phenomenon that threatens to upend the delicate balance of power between East and West. Dr. Matthew Reed, a military police psychologist, is recruited into the newly-formed Project Morpheus, a clandestine government organization tasked with preventing these visions from becoming reality.
Partnered with Dr. James Chen, a brilliant but controversial oneirologist, Reed must navigate a complex web of genuine predictions, deliberate deceptions, and Cold War paranoia. Together, they race against time to prevent impending disasters while questioning which dreams are authentic warnings and which might be planted by foreign agents. As they dive deeper into each case, they uncover a pattern suggesting these visions may be connected to classified military experiments on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
Set against the backdrop of atomic age anxiety and emerging psychic research, the series explores the thin line between prophecy and paranoia, building toward the revelation of what triggered humanity's newfound ability to glimpse possible futures – and the terrible price of trying to control it. As the cold war into the realm of consciousness itself, Reed and Chen must confront an unsettling question: in their quest to weaponize the future, hare they awakening something in the human mind that is better left dormant?
The Quantum Detective
Detective Shawn Cho's investigation of a seemingly routine murder case changes forever when he experiences his first "divergence" – a moment where reality splits, allowing him to observe multiple possible outcomes simultaneously. This extraordinary ability makes him an unparalleled investigator.
As Shawn masters his quantum-viewing abilities and delves deeper into the abstract theory of this unknowable study, he discovers he's not alone – other "observers" exist, some with far less altruistic goals. When a series of crimes begins targeting divergence points themselves, Shawn must confront an adversary who doesn't just commit crimes, but rewrites reality to retcon them into existence outright. After a catastrophic investigation goes wrong, Shawn finds himself removed from his own reality and stuck in another one with no clear way to go back home, forcing him to solve the ultimate mystery: With all of these people messing up with the different continuities of the world, how does he stop them, and how the hell does he get back home?
The Ten Billion Penny Woman
Living in the city of Arcadia, frozen in an eternal 1970s, Sarah Mitchell's life seems almost deliberately mundane – a divorced data entry clerk drowning in debt. But Sarah's world is far from ordinary. It's an elaborate construct, a human terrarium where millions of unseen viewers bid on the inhabitants' fates, their penny votes reshaping reality through invisible frequencies that bend minds and alter destinies.
Sarah's crime? She succeeded in divorcing her producer-favored abusive husband, defying the audience's voted "narrative arc," thanks to a birth defect rendering her immune to the mind-bending frequencies. Now marked for elimination, her only ally is the very assassin sent to remove her: Marcus Jones, a synthetic "citizen" whose robotic nature is masked behind perfectly crafted 70s attire and mannerisms. But Marcus is no longer taking orders from the producers. Hijacked by a mysterious outside force, he now serves as Sarah's window into the outside. Her analog world is a carefully maintained fiction, surrounded by a society centuries beyond anything she can comprehend. Through Marcus, Sarah gains access to technology that might as well be magic and meta-knowledge about the audience and the lives of the other inhabitants of Arcadia, all in an attempt to give her the leg-up she sorely needs.
Sarah must now transform herself from a background character into the director of her own destiny. But in a world where entertainment equals survival and even privilege, will she break the system.. or rise to become its greatest perpetrator?
Charlotte's Demons
Charlotte Ross had always dreamed of seeing her art in the world's greatest galleries. When conventional talent and hard work failed her, she made a deal that would change her life forever. Now, her paintings hang in the Louvre, her sculptures command millions, and her installations define contemporary art. But as her latest exhibition opens, the bill for her success comes due—and the collectors aren't interested in money.
Ten years later, at the opening of her most ambitious exhibition yet, her demonic benefactors crash the gala—literally through the skylight—to collect their price: her immortal soul. But Charlotte is no longer the desperate artist who once begged for success. Armed with the supernatural gifts they gave her, she turns her artistry into a weapon.
Alongside her reluctant but loyal team—her no-nonsense agent, who gladly takes on the role of bodyguard in exchange for never having to reschedule a show; a pretentious art critic with an unusual knack for deciphering demonic scripts and making Faustian bargains; and an assistant with a terrible habit of being seduced by demons—Charlotte fights to outmaneuver the hellspawn while keeping the art world blissfully unaware.
Starsector Convergence
When humanity discovered the Zero Mass Relay Gates on Mars, it seemed like destiny was calling. Within decades, colonies spread across dozens of worlds, each one a new chapter in human history. Then came the Shattering – a catastrophic event that destroyed the Relay network, stranding each colony in isolation. Now, three hundred years later, Captain George Jason and the crew of the Starship Convergence navigate the fragments of human civilization, each port of call revealing a different vision of humanity's future.
From the techno-organic fusion society of New Darwin to the quantum-computing theocracy of Turing Prime, every colony has evolved in radical and unexpected ways. Some have embraced biological modification, others have merged with AI, while some have regressed to pre-industrial societies with their own unique twists. Captain Jason and his diverse crew – including a historian obsessed with preserving pre-Shattering culture, a diplomat raised in a hive-mind society, and an engineer who is also a priest of a machine-worshiping religion– must navigate these disparate human cultures while working toward their ultimate goal: reunifying humanity and ushering a new golden age.
As they journey from planet to planet, they uncover clues suggesting the Shattering wasn't an accident, but the deliberate act of some unknowable power. Each episode combines anthropological exploration with space opera adventure, as the crew faces the challenge of bridging vast cultural gaps while racing against a clock they aren't fully ware of toward a threat they're only beginning to comprehend.
