A dangerous time to be a TV show
Posted by Steve on September 25th, 2006
Judging by a spate of new shows (along with a few old ones), danger abounds this fall! Here’s the opening sequence for a new show concept that I’ve been working on:
Disappointment doesn’t begin to describe how he felt when The Evidence left behind during his last Heist resulted in a Conviction. The NUMB3RS just didn’t add up. How was it that his careless partner — not exactly one of the world’s greatest Criminal Minds — managed to elude capture?
Having Lost in court, he set about organizing a Prison Break. And he succeeded. He adopted a new Alias, disappeared Without A Trace, and his file quickly became a Cold Case.
But now, months later, he’s standing face-to-face with the double-crossing partner who had set him up on his last job. He’d seen the unmistakeable face on the news the night before. The story revealed that several boy scouts, who are now being called Heroes, rescued a local Runaway who had, in reality, actually been Kidnapped by the man. The scouts chased the criminal down a dark alley into which he simply Vanished — the same alley which was to have played a key role in their previous escape plan. And at that moment he knew exactly where to find his former partner.
The thought of delivering real Justice overcame him, and he responded to this seemingly Supernatural signal. As the sirens approached the empty warehouse, he knew exactly how the Standoff would end… this time.
Wow! Apparently, TV execs recently discovered how to use a thesaurus! Anyway, did/do/will you watch any of these shows? Previously, we watched Alias and Heist, but neither of these is on anymore. This season, we’ll be watching Lost and Prison Break, and we’re thinking about giving Heroes a try.

I only ever watched Alias. The others are too violent, fixated on gore and unrealistic drama (I only need to see so many corpses in a week to be satisfied). Sorry to all of you out there who are fans! If you want a quality TV show watch The Office. I laugh so hard sometimes It hurts. Seriously - there may be pain involved.
