I just read 3 ideas that sold on this website front page Done Deal (25 bucks a year!) and it's so weird how stuff come up.
Make a joke about blacklist and used Elvis as example. Elvis TV show sells.
Have an idea for a TV show -- read same concept just sold.
Just pitched two reality show ideas to my "ex" writing partner and basically the 2 ideas combine into 1 is a show that just sold.
It has happened to me, well all the damn time. And It will happen to you. It's just so weird how it does happen that same day though. How often it's not just like someone else thought of the idea at any point, but that the same idea will be hot for the same week. So weird how that happens. And not weird at all when you think about it.
So when people say "find an original high concept idea" -- I saw just write your favorite idea and make it in your own voice, because it's almost impossible to find a unique idea when there are 10000 TV shows these days.
