FADE IN:

EXT. PHILADELPHIA, 1776 - DAY

We see a bustling city street in the heart of Philadelphia. The camera pans over to a sign that reads "Ben Franklin's Printing Press." We then cut to the interior of the print shop, where we see BEN FRANKLIN (played by Steve Carell) and GEORGE WASHINGTON (played by John Krasinski) sitting at a table, working on some papers.

BEN FRANKLIN
(to George Washington)
So, George, have you thought about what we're going to call our new country?

GEORGE WASHINGTON
(sighs)
Ben, we've been over this a hundred times. We can't just call it "Freedom Land."

BEN FRANKLIN
(smiling)
Why not? It has a nice ring to it.

Just then, THOMAS JEFFERSON (played by Rainn Wilson) bursts into the print shop, holding a stack of papers.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
(excitedly)
Gentlemen, gentlemen! I have finished the Declaration of Independence!

BEN FRANKLIN
(raising an eyebrow)
Already? That was fast.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
(grinning)
I had some help from my new friend, Alexander Hamilton.

Just then, ALEXANDER HAMILTON (played by Lin-Manuel Miranda) enters the print shop.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON
(to Thomas Jefferson)
Hey man, great job on the Declaration. But you should've seen what I did with the Federalist Papers.

BEN FRANKLIN
(looking at the camera)
And that's just a taste of what it's like to be a founding father. Crazy, right?

CUE LAUGH TRACK

The show follows the antics of the founding fathers as they navigate the challenges of building a new country. We see them arguing over everything from taxes to the national anthem, with plenty of witty banter and hijinks along the way.

In one episode, John Adams (played by Ed Helms) gets a bad haircut and has to wear a wig to hide it. In another, they all try to come up with the perfect gift for France's ambassador. And in a classic Thanksgiving episode, they try to cook a turkey using only colonial-era tools and ingredients.

The show is a hit with audiences, who love the blend of history and comedy. And even though the founding fathers may not have been perfect, they always manage to come together and find a way forward.

FADE OUT.
