    Default You're in charge of your favorite tv show for one episode--what would you do?

    Basically, you're given the budget and the ability to film your own fanfic, or to capture missed opportunities, or to take your favorite show to the next level of greatness. For one episode, you are in complete control of the script, the casting, the location, everything.

    I've decided that in this fantasy world, I'd bring back Arrested Development for one episode with Bill Shatner guest-starring as Denny Crane. Denny Crane. He would be the Bluth's newest attorney (Bob Loblaw (that name still makes me LOL) suffered a tragic accident involving a rice picker), and his job would be to defend George Sr, but he would be far, far too enamored with Lucille to provide a very good defense. In fact, Lucille is his dream woman. GOB would immediately try to earn Denny's fatherly approval, and Lindsay would hit on him, trying to attract his attention away from Lucille. Michael, of course, would be very exasperated.

    A Buffy reunion show. A demon casts a spell that turns all the guys into frogs, and makes all the females allergic to clothing. They are visited by the spirits of Tara and Anya, who are for some reason also naked. Wackiness ensues.

    I want an episode of Leverage with Mr. T as a special guest star. Because that group of con-men may be clever, but I don't think a one of them knows how to turn a van into a tank ...

    TOS Kirk appears on the bridge of the TNG Enterprise, he looks at Picard and says, "What. thehell have. you. donetomyship?" As Picard proceeds to give a long-winded answer, Kirk grabs Picard and repeatedly slams Picard's head into a control panel while simultaneously nailing Troi from behind, shouting, "Who's your captain, baby? Who's your captain?" He takes Picard's bloody form and proceeds to cram it down Worf's throat, shouting, "Klingon's aren't supposed to be pussies!"

    He then grabs Wesley, pushes him into a turbolift, telling him, "If I ever catch you on the bridge again, I'm firing you out a torpedo tube. Tell your mom to be naked and in my quarters in 15 minutes." Facing Data he gives the following order, "Lay in a course for the closest star system, find something dangerous and kill it!"

    After banging Dr. Crusher, he finds Wesley and stuffs him into a torpedo tube anyway, making damn sure that Wesley hits the nearest star.

    If that wasn't an episode, it should have been. I'd like to see Data kick the shit out of that smug git, Riker at least once an episode, as well.

    Saturday Night Live.

    I would bring back all the best old writers and the very best of the previous casts (that are still alive of course. That'd be an entirely different show...) Musical guests would be Keith Urban and Justin Timberlake, who would also participate in ultra-funny sketches. Mr. Timberlake would also host. It would be literally THE BEST of Saturday Night Live, and the show would last a minimum of 3 hours.

    Between John, Gilda, Phil, and Chris, you could put together a pretty damn good "Best of" episode in heaven.

    An episode of House where the patient has both lupus and sarcoidosis. It's diagnosed and fixed in the first five minutes, and then it's just House and Wilson going back and forth for the rest of the show. And then Thirteen is eaten by wolves.

    You sure got that right. And George Carlin to host.

    I hate CSI in all its various incarnations, but I'll pretend I like so I could have all the CSI characters in Las Vegas for a meeting and then Las Vegas is hit by a comet or an atomic bomb and every single person dies. Every one. David Caruso would also actually die, he thinks he's that cop anyway. Only he would die of some relatively slow wasting disease in real life like Dutch Elm Disease, or hemorrhoids.

    The End.

    Does it have to be Vegas? Can't they all be at a conference in Poughkipsee?

    I really think there needs to be an episode of Supernatural where Sam and Dean's entire wardrobe is stolen by mischievous imps.
