I have given some thought to which callers could star in their own television show. I think Skag Winesack is the strongest contender. A retired PI who plays saxophone and lives in a marina full of houseboats where only other retired PIs, FBI agents, and cops live, I think, provides the most dramatic potential for a weekly series.
That said, Philly Boy Roy has definite potential. The Gorch would make a good movie, detailing his trip across the country to kill Tom.
-
Spike would be a good candidate for a segment on Dateline NBC, but I think a whole series would be a little too much for him.
Bishop Pablo Fontana could host an ET-type entertainment news show.
-
Hammerhead as emcee for "So You Think You Can Dance?" -- he wouldn't put up with s_-hit!
-
PBR and family would be perfect for a sit com.
-
Dr. Fred Meyers should head up the next season of HBO's "In Treatment."

Didn't David Lynch make that movie already?
-
I'd like to see a buddy movie with the Gorch and Petey from the Future.
Petey from the Future attempts to return to the present day to warn Petey of now about Sheila Larson again -
Overshoots and ends up in 1955 in a manner not unlike the arrival of Mork on Happy Days -
Hijinks ensue
-
I think a prequel is that way to go. I'm not sure of what, though.

" 'nem Zeiglers." Comin' soon to ABC.
-
I would watch a Studio 60-styled show set at the Shout! Network starring Matthew Tompkins, or a State of Play-esque political thriller centered on Newbridge Herald-Times Republican-Herald reporter Marc Healy investigating shady goings-down at Kern Pharmaceuticals.
-
I would watch a show about Officer Tom getting various freebies at local establishments.

Would Michael J. Fox be involved?

Now that would just be silly...
..However, as I understand it, Tina Yothers is on the short list for the role of Sheila.
-
A gritty, Dark Blue-esque series about Officer Tom trying to take down nefarious sleaze king/grope trafficker Larry the Perv, while running up against departmental corruption and his own innate douchiness.

...with supporting character Bill triying to scoop him with lidblowers in THE CHIPPERT REPORT

prequel
Young Gorch. Similar to Happy Days but with a lot of Clockwork Orange-stye ultraviolence. Taste Chain!

I would buy a tv to watch that!

I would like to see a Werner Herzog documentary about Stevie Blue.

B.Buster, the Kevin Smith days

Yes! Just as the Happy Days saga was spawned on Love, American Style - here we have Love, Gorch Style.
"Gorch lovin'" just happens to involve a few more chain fights.
-
A travel show with Cy the Hole Guy digging his way to a new exotic locale each week. Along the way he runs into various obstacles like bombs or lava or worms. There could possibly be some marketable "big fat wife" t-shirts as well.

COPS: Wherever Larry the Perv lives
-
The Chris L & Wes Show.
-
A Very New Port Richey Christmas
-
How about a Cheers-style sitcom in and around Club Pizzazz called Pizzazz'd? Every episode would center around different events clashing, like Newbridge Red Cross Charity Fundraising ending just as a Rocky Horror-style screening of You're Soaking in Her with special guests Reggie Monroe and Merle Allen begins.
Possible spinoff/tagteam show: Batter'd (set in and around Ye Olde Burger Barn)
-
This fall on TLC: Little People, Big Racists starring Timmie von Trimble.
-
Ye Olde Burger Barn. It's like Cheers, but with third-degree burns.
-
COPS: Wherever Larry the Perv lives
A 12-part series of specials - COPS:The PERV edition.
a.k.a.
It's Larry!
-
The Catapult That Can Shoot People Into Outer Space Hour
The Apprentice: Wawa Records Edition
-
Has this been said yet?
Dateline NBC: To Catch a Purpleshirt.

The Catapult That Can Shoot People Into Outer Space Hour
So long as it doesn't turn out like when Geraldo opened Al Capone's safe, I think it's a great idea!
I want to see people get shot into outspace from a catapult.
