Making up TV show episodes or movies?

[crt89]

Did/has anyone ever made up their own TV shows or movies? I used to do this by taking parts of TV shows and movies I'd seen and mixing them with real life events and places in my city. I had a bunch of characters made up in my mind and would think of them doing different things, living in houses in my neighborhood, etc. I would also use real life things such as cars, appliances, phones, etc in the scenes in my mind. But when I went to actually write them down, I could never seem to fit the scenes together to make full episodes.

Mostly it was something I did when I was younger when I got bored.
