Don't pitch scripts or story ideas to Hollywood. They can't accept them. But if you say just one word to them (Bitcoin), they can build on it.

Nice!
Maybe you want to chuck in some anecdotes about his home planet, like:
Willi: So you are making virtual monopoly money that is only backed by nothing but thin air and a host of quirky ideas from some japanese guy that wants to abandon money in the first place? In my garage with OUR electricity!?
Alf: Chill out Willi, we were doing this all the time from where I come from. That was before we moved on to the Cat-Standard. But it turned out cats were pleasantly to carry around all day, but people were eating them faster then they could get their groceries done, so before they even got to the counter they had eaten their wallets already. So economy took a little recession for some time, .. (looks sad to the ground)..before we figured out how to make virtual cats in our garages!

Too bad Alf is not longer on the air.

Willie: (yelling) Alf, what are you building?
Alf: What?
Willie: You know what. The computer looking contraption.
Alf: Oh! That thing. It's nothing.
Willie: Well, that nothing sure is making a lot of noise.
Alf: What?
Willie: (yelling) I said that thing is making a lot of noise.
Alf: You've been dating a lot of boys? I suggest you not tell Kate.
Willie: (unplugging the machine) That ain't what I said. Now what are you doing.
Alf: If you must know, I'm hashing money.
Willie: Really! Hash and money just doesn't sound like something we should be doing in my law abiding home.
Alf: Contraire, Willie. I'm hashing money in the garage.
Willie: Fine! How does it work.
Alf: I don't know, but last month I, I mean we, made an extra $247.
Kate: (enters the garage with a frown on her face) Willie, have you seen this month's electric bill? It looks like it's $263 more the previous month.
Willie: Alf!
Alf: Don't look at me. I don't have a clue as to what the other $16 could be contributed to.
Kate: What is going on here, and why are there pictures of some Japanese guy hung on all the walls with a burning candle in front of them?
Willie: I've seen that guy before.
Alf: Where? There's some things I want to ask him. By the way, since you're going to find out anyway when you get your credit card statement, I pre-ordered something.
Willie and Kate (in unison): What is it?
Alf: I don't know. The details were a little sketchy, but trust me.
Brian: (enters the garage) Dad, a couple guys in black suits just drove up in a black car.
Alf: Quick! Hide the rig.

To be honest this show usually just covers "3geeky5me" sort of topics. Im doubting bitcoin is the kind of thing that they would cover on such a show but I would love if they did.

TV nerds != real nerds

much appreciated   

That show is dumber than "My Mother the Car"

Hey eventually they have to run out of idea, and then bitcoin will make it's move!

Agreed. I'll see what I can do to get in contact with someone at the show. And I'll post updates as I have them (if anybody ever decides to write back).

Has anyone ever tried to contact the producers/writers?
I think this would be huge in terms of publicity if it worked.

The study group would definitely be divided until they realize that Greendale is also the Alma Mater of Satoshi and that it was originally intended to beat City College in a science fair competition.

No no no. They should adopt Soiledcoin and then it turns out that Pierce is RealSolid. All you peasants must grovel before RealPierce!

Hilarity ensues when Troy and Abed try to save Greendale by finding and compromising the trusted nodes (hint: one is Chang) like horcruxes.

They should make Bitcoin the currency of Greendale Community College.

My guess would be soon since they are going to try and play catchup with The Good Wife. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an episode in the works as we type.

Also I could see the plot line be one of them misusing one of the supercomputers for mining bitcoins. Of course they would say they need it to buy something for WOW or some other popular game (maybe BF3 or MW3). Usually the show hops on bandwagons for popular techy games and such.

Hey, it's just a matter of time, I'm sure they'll do it.

BTW, speaking of sex ... I think this week's episode was da bomb.

Screams for PimpCoin 

Lately The Big Bang Theory seems more interested in sex and women than technology... so good luck for bitcoin.
