Title: Forum game: Improbable TV spinoffs
Post by: Super Firebug on September 23, 2014, 12:52:41 AM
I had a ridiculous idea for a Frasier spinoff, and decided to try and start a game with it.
My opening contribution: Niles Crane: Private Eye.

NCIS: Omaha
Cold in Denver

Wednesday Night Lacrosse (on a major network or ESPN)

Dancing with the Bears (and I don't mean the Chicago football team, but that probably is also improbable)

Vassal (set in the medieval times where a manuscript-writing monk helps out the Duke's daughter solve crimes against the serfs of the dukedom)

*Jayne's World: Adventures in the 'Verse*

Where Jayne Cobb has decided to part with Captain Reynolds and the crew of the *Serenity* and go off in his own, macho man, direction.  Wearin' the hat, of course.

"It's party time." *racks shotgun* "Excellent."

I can't recall where, exactly, but in I want to say either the Browncoats 10yr Special group interview, or on a CE DVD narrative VO of either the series or Serenity it was mentioned that post Firefly/Serenity Jayne was seen as having done just that - leave Mal and the crew to captain his own ship.  Now that I think on it, I'm leaning towards the Browncoats 10yr Special, as they mentioned some other things of "what would have been" and gave some otherwise would-be spoilers for those that haven't seen it.

The Jane Hathaway Show.
Remember Miss Hathaway from the original Beverly Hillbillies?

It would be kind of like the Mary Tyler Moore show, only sillier.

How I left your Mother, a story of a single dad and his two children.  Now that's a tear-jerking sitcom.

OK, The actor who played Niles Crane from Fraser can play the dad, or crazy uncle or whacky neighbor.

Agents of Malta. In the same universe as Agents of Shield, there exists a nemesis to all that is good. Quite a plot reversal.

Even, you might say... A Nemesis Plot.  8)
