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?]
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?
