What skills would I need to start a TV animated series?

I've been having some great ideas to replace a certain horrible
"comedian's" "comedies" and I would like to know what I would need to
do before pitching them to fox.

Mainly:

1: Would I need to do any animation? I'm a terrible drawer but could
probably whip up a sample for each of the characters.
2: Would being the sole writer for it entice them?
3: Would I need to patent it or anything to prevent it from being
stolen?
4: I wouldn't want to do any of the voice acting. I could learn though
before I pitch it.
5: What I am thinking will draw in most of the same audience from
their other animated comedies (oddly all done by the person I hate)
but also appeal to the audience that is AGAINST it. And there are a
LOT.
6: Would just a script suffice to pitch it?
7: Who would I talk to? Email Fox?
