As we all know, Wednesday is the best day of the week. I clearly don't need to list the reasons since we all know them. However, Tory's earlier post got me thinking. Or should I say 'wishing' (wishing starts with a double u). A game we like to play is thinking of great spin-off ideas. Or wishful thinking.
(side note about wishing or what if's: ESPN is currently airing on College Football Live a segment called 'What If." Ex: what if Nebraska made the field goal in the Orange Bowl and beat FSU and Bowden's career tumbled after that. Lame I know. Just another horrible attempt to make something into nothing. I play a game called "what if 'the decision' never happened?" Works great for both ESPN and me, for ESPN could of saved credibility in the journalistic community. Read here.)
Anyway: great spinoffs:
-Ben Linus from Lost as a school-teacher (however that idea actually came to fruition. So clearly a great idea. However, Sawyer is his roommate). Called: Softly Spoken
-Alfred from Batman: what does he do is his spare time? Sounds like a prime-time show to me. I'm guessing solve crimes like Castle on Castle. Called: Not Past Me
-President Bartlett from West Wing: the show chronicles his days following the transition in which Pres. Santos took over. Easily Emmy bait. Called: I'm Not Done
These are just a few. What are your wishful thinking spin-offs? You know, with all this wishful thinking going on, there is really only one song to play now. Plus, it gives me a very straight reason to play it!
(Author's note: take my suggestions at heart, Frasier Crane wasn't even in my top five choices for a spin-off of Cheers. First, Carla then Paul)
