TV bits: The Powers that be

Filed under: talk, tv bits — Ten @ 12:00 am

I’ve been thinking long and hard at my fellow anime enthusiast, hopeless sensei’s what if scenario. But I applied it to American prime time shows.

Actually, if I had the power to wield executive freedom in major studios. I’d revive cancelled shows I loved, say, Firefly, Wonderfalls, and Angel. Ahhh. But not only that, I’d try to banish American Idol and the Simple Life to oblivion. Clay Aiken makes me go insane and Paris Hilton is just icky. I’d make Jessica Simpson look smarter when she had that insipid show in MTV. Although, I wonder if that’s possible. I would’ve manipulated the judges into voting off the “Mother” in Project Runway’s first season. I wanted the very pretty gay guy to be part of the final three. I’d have Rachel and Joey end up with each other in Friends. Ross could rot in the divorce circuit for all I care. I would’ve covered up Robert Downey Jr.’s drug charges so that he wouldn’t have been fired in Ally McBeal. The final season sucked terribly but the one prior to that was wonderful. The unrepentant druggie can sizzle up chemistry even with the undernourished Callista.

Also included in my list is a non-firing of Shannen Doherty in Charmed. Me likey Prue. I never warmed up to series again after she left. I’d have Dawson die instead of Jen in the series finale. Mr. Forehead’s cuteness diminished after years of whining and angsting. Oh, and I’d marry Joshua Jackson in a jiffy.

This incomplete list will have a part two in another time not-so-soon.

errata: I was referring to this post instead of the one linked above. Oops. ^^;
