shadowkat: (Tv shows)
We're nearing the end of the notorious and rather difficult January Talking Meme (remind me not try this again) - which I've aptly nicknamed - "what question can I possibly come up with that would stump shadowkat67?" I'm thinking the final two questions may come very close to winning that contest.

* [Side note: January 27:Curiouswolf - Analyze Spike's IDW comics supporting cast. This may have to wait a few weeks, because I read those comics so long ago that I can no longer remember the supporting characters well enough to analyze them. I honestly don't know if I can do this - you may have succeeded in stumping me. Where was this meme four years ago?]

[livejournal.com profile] cactuswatcher- January 26, if you had the ear of a major network, what one specific TV show idea would you ask them to produce?

This is admittedly not as bad as I originally thought. I remembered it being "what "ideal" TV show would you pitch" but the question is actually far easier to answer. It helps if you read the question a few times, before answering. OTOH...it should be noted that this question is limited to "one specific idea" not "eight". And...I have a lot of ideas, so narrowing it to one is dicey to say the least. That's my problem - too many ideas, too many choices, how can I possibly choose just one? And which one?

So before I provide the "one specific" idea, below are the 8 ideas that I came up with and the pitfalls for each one, which if you pay close attention have at least one thing in common, other than being ideas for television series:

Nominations for the specific television series idea - because my problem is I have too many ideas and need to find a way of narrowing down my options )

Okay that's eight ideas, be happy I stopped at eight...and the winner is? Give up? Come on, all you have to do is read the pitfalls.

And the winning idea or the one I'd select after examining the pitfalls of each is... )

Hmmm...Aren't you happy that I don't do this for a living? Because if I had an ear of a tv network, we'd have more musicals, fairy tales, fantasy serials and action adventure serials than we currently do. And far less horror shows, vampire shows, zombies, serial killers, medical dramas, anti-hero crime dramas, and procedurals than we currently do - which I'm beginning to get burned out on. Speaking of vampire serials? I considered doing one based on Ann Rice's Interview with a Vampire novels - which would actually be interesting, she built quite a world and mythos there. But I think we've reached the saturation point on that specific genre, don't you?

So, what specific television idea would you pitch if you had the ear of a major television network?
