Does anyone have any show ideas floating in thier head? Write them here

I am suprised that no one has come out with a 3-camera drama (like the old days of TV). I bet it would cut costs. A Perry Mason / Law & Order type of show would do very well with this format.

A scripted show that takes place at a Bed & Breakfast with lots of "has been" stars checking in for drama & intrigue along the lines of Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Hotel. I would like to see Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips reprise their roles as Barbara and Julie Cooper who are the owners that run the Bed & Breakfast. (Schneider will make occasional guest shots when maintenance is needed.)

WHat about Mama Annie?

I was just thinking about this very thing a few days ago, and that there isn't one of these type shows, especially with shows like Dancing With the Stars, The Surreal Life, and the fasination with Danny Bonaduce. People love "Where are they now" type stories, and it's always fun to see that you're not the only one that didn't age well.

I agree, and would love to see the Bradys or the Waltons come back for another made-for reunion.

Oh yeah... I think she married the Howard Hessman character during the last season. They can be the first guests!!

I would love to see the return of a good drama anthology, as long as it has nothing to do with crime procedurals (like Police Story).

There was one a number of years ago where the same actress Loretta Young played completely different characters in a weekly half hour drama series. Some of the stories were penned by leading authors of the day, and she gave remarkably diverse performances. I think the way that Tina Fey is utilizing Rachel Dratch in 30 Rock provides a glimpse of how this might work...she plays a different character in every episode, and she's a gem of a character actress.

Another great anthology was the ABC Movie of the Week series in the 70s which provided testing grounds for innovative directors and served as launching pads for a number of ABC series.
