Familiarize yourself with the directors who have done parodies, pick the one who you think would do the best job, and strategically approach them by alluding to the original show but not outright saying it. Be persistent. Email them 10 or 15 times if that's what it takes. Talk about their work first when you explain why you chose to approach them. Tell them that you want to somehow be a part of it, get a writer credit, possibly work on the set and be part of the process, and that you won't get in the way. Don't expect much money and look at it more as an opportunity to set yourself up for the next one. If you make it yourself without the necessary distribution channels or without the guidance of a quality director or without the necessary budget, it will likely lose money and the movie itself will fall way short of what you had hoped it to be. You cannot live your life in fear so do not obsessively worry about having the idea stolen. Just be smart and be conscious of the possibility that it may happen. If you're the real deal, more ideas will come.
