ISLAND ONE, a prime time family sitcom set on the High Frontier

Interesting idea.

But wouldn't it be nice if at least part of your show family were to
be shown moving from earth and going to the space islad.

Have have them board their heavy lift launch vehicle at Cape
Canaveral or Vandenberg. Show scenes like any airport. Have them
carrying CD or DVD players for the long trip. perhaps the family pet
in a carry on. Show all the details of lifte off. The happy reunion
at the Island's space port and all that.
