"Who's Naked?"

Proposal: One-Hour Television Drama
This anthology series will have a different story and characters each episode. The writing will be sharp, intelligent, and relevant to real issues of modern life, with far-ranging settings and locales. The vibe will range from feel-good to hard-hitting, grit to comedy, and anything in between.
At some random point during each episode, in the course of normal activity, one character will disrobe, and do the rest of the episode naked. No character will notice or react, and the nudity will be entirely irrelevant to how the story arc resolves. No clues will tip which character will unclothe, and that character will fall anywhere on the humyn spectrum - old, young, striking, nondescript, fit, obese, ugly, beautiful...
The point is to underscore the ridiculousness of nudity taboos. The hope is that it will become "must-see" television, with audiences obsessively predicting which character will disrobe.
The cast may be a rotating ensemble of recurring actors. Or not.
The show will eventually have fun with its own format (i.e. an episode set in a nudist colony, where one character suddenly "robes"). As the show progresses, it may expand to include period episodes.
Thank you for your consideration.
