What Shows do YOU want to see??

I would like to see Star Trek Renegades done as a proper weekly series with a real TV budget. The trailers alone and seeing the cast for the pilot are enough to get me truly excited about a Trek production for the first time in ages.

 

From the comics, I'd like to see Gotham P.D. with the average cops dealing with the fallout from Batman and all the villains.
Marvel had a limited series about a company called Damage Control.
They handled all the buildings torn up by super hero battles.
That could be a great show as well.
I like shows that deal with the background of average people trying to make it from day to day.
For science fiction. ...
Bring back Almost Human, you putzs at Fox.

 

Saw a preview recently for Gotham. It takes place while Bruce is a boy and would appear to follow a young Detective Gordon. Looks pretty hopeful.
From my own fantasy, I'd totally watch a new Quantum Leap. Either a total reboot or some sort of spinoff, like someone carried on Sam's work and kept the QL Project going or something.

 

I want to see a show fully from the "evil leaper" perspective we saw a few times. 'Putting wrong what once went right', and doing things that would probably make it a Showtime/HBO type of show.

 

Friends saw in on London and loved it.

 

I've always wanted to see a good Batman TV series (live action, I mean, not animated): done as a psychodrama and character development piece with action, not just a sock'em up/blow 'em up show. Something that lets the lead actor show Bruce Wayne as really messed up, essentially a high-functioning, often socially helpful psychopath, and the villains as the nightmare horrors they really are: serial killers of the worst kind. Having seen what they've done with Arrow, I believe they could do it and make it work well.

I also don't understand why they won't do an X-Men series: considering the large rotating character cast, plentiful long and involved storylines, wealth of character development, and mix of social allegory, action, romance, and teen angst, it seems like a no-brainer for a cross-demographic wonderland.

I'd love to see a series of TV movies based on Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" novels. They tried to make a series out of it, and it was godawful: terrible writing, atrocious casting, and pointless bad changes to the stories. But all of those things are eminently fixable. If they got together the right team, say some veterans of Joss Whedon's operations, like Steven DeKnight, Drew Goddard, or Jane Espenson, and so forth, cooperated with Butcher to write really good screenplays that were true to the books and only adapted in productive and necessary ways, and cast really good actors who were right for the roles, those could be a wonderful series of movies. Say like two a year or something....

 

I want to see a show like "To Catch a Predator" that targets people who work in finance. "To Catch a Trader"

 

That, and X-Men special effects would look hokey as fuck on a TV budget.

 

The Supreme Court Show...to see if Clarence Thomas will ask a question during oral arguments more than once every eight years.

 

Ten years ago I would totally have agreed with you. Even five years ago I might've agreed with you. But now I'm not so sure. Maybe they wouldn't look as slick as a big-budget summer blockbuster, but I bet they could make it work all right.

 

As someone who watched Agents of Shield all season, and could tell when money was and was not spent on effects, I have my doubts. Despite the fact that AoS exists in the same universe as the Avengers, it's pretty well documented that the writers had to frame their scenes so that any sort of fanciful occurrences happened off screen because there wasn't money in the budget to make things look nice. This works in a show that is ostensibly about the experience of the common person in a world of super heroes, but unless an X-Men show takes a similar tack, shit is going to look like some Sharknado level hokey.

 

I want The Tick back. Patrick Warburton was great. The 1993 cartoon was even awesomer. It may not be Saturday morning fare, but if someone could pull off a toon a little truer to the original books, with Tick escaping a padded room & straight jacket and being accosted by inept ninjas diguising themselves as a hedge and all that goodness, I'd be a giddy Moose indeed.

 

So the key would be for the producers to be able to use the X-Men show to fill in backstory and provide context for movies and thus justify extra spending on SFX.

 

The special effects problem is part of the reason I like the idea of a show based around the average people who are caught in the middle of the big stories.
What would it be like to be a cab driver in Marvel's New York?
How about being an insurance claims investigator in Astro City?

Speaking of Astro City, that is another comic I really want to see as a series.

 

Hmmm... I *do* enjoy what I've heard of the soundtrack but I don't know about these big ticket shows. For me I feel like I can go see 4 plays or music shows for the price of the King Street stuff. Have you even looked at the ticket prices?
