Sudz, I think your idea has real merit and I for one would anticipate such a show with buzzing, throbbing relish. 

Since I know (or assume) that nobody on this board but Luna is a Six Feet Under fan, I want to share one of the most original, funniest opening for any TV show ever made.  Obviously the film visuals can't be adequately described but I'll try anyway.

We see two young men who work at a sex-toy shop filling up blow-up dolls with helium.  They are doing this for a customer's elaborate party and after the dozens of female plastic women are filled with helium they are loaded into the back of a pickup truck for delivery and covered with a net to keep them confined.  The truck is trucking down the road and is involved in an accident, one which knocks the net from the bed of the truck, releasing the helium-filled dolls.

Cut to a woman driving her car intently listening to a religious station on the radio.  As the preacher preaches we see the woman nodding her head in agreement at everything he says, uttering random "Amen"s here and there.  She has a bumper sticker on the rear of her car that proclaims the rapture is coming.

Suddenly she looks down the street and from behind a building she sees, floating heavenward, angelic visions of people rising upward.  Her joy is so overwhelming that she stomps on the brakes and gets out of her car, stumbling into the street, her arms outstretched toward heaven, wonder in her eyes at the beauty she beholds before her.  And then with no warning, BAM!  A truck hits her like a rocket and the screen goes black.

I'm telling you, there's no other show with the imagination of Six Feet Under.
