musesfool:5 Elements that Would Be Present in My Ideal TV Show
1) Lots and lots of banter. I want mean banter and funny banter and a perfect mix of House-type banter and West Wing-type banter.
2) Two main characters, with lots of sexual tension between them (see: Mulder and Scully, Sydney and Vaughn for realistic and obvious, House and Wilson for unrealistic and obvious). Hopefully, the tension does not get resolved until the last couple episodes. And preferably, the characters have Tragic Pasts, that involve fun stuff like Abandonment Issues and such.
3) Really strong and interesting secondary characters. (See: entirety of Grey's Anatomy, The Lone Gunmen, Dixon and Marshall)
4) Single (or double) episode adventures that are framed by a larger overall plot. I want something set in a really interesting, complex world, and I want it to be telling one huge story, like a bajillion hour movie. (See: Farscape, Alias pre-fucktard era, Lost)
5) Alan Tudyk. Shut up, I love him.
I could go on and on and on, but that'd take up way too much space and it says "5", not "Seventy Hundred Billion and Six".
In addition: I feel like I'm late with the links lately. I mean, I'm sure by now you all have seen the Newsweek covers, right? That link has been sitting open in Firefox since maybe two minutes after the article was published, and it's taken me this long to finally post it. *pathetic*
ETA: Fuck, I almost forgot the burglars vs. severed heads news story.

Erin, take it from me. Gilmore Girls would make you DIE. Try to watch it sometime. You basically gotta just trust me on this one. :-)

5. Oxygen. Because my actors would have to breathe. Even if they were animals. I suppose I could make a CGI show about beings who lived on another strange world and breathed methane... but I'm on a budget here.
4. Hydrogen. Because as the Hindenburg proved, hydrogen is explosive, and fire and 'splosions are funny. OH THE HUGE MANATEE!
3. Plutonium. Because if you gotta make a bunch of radioactive mutants, this shit is da bomb. Hah, I made a funny. Bomb. Tee hee.
2. Helium. Because while actors do have to breathe, everyone knows that adding a healthy dose of Helium to your air supply makes for comedy gold in the form of Squeaky Voices. It worked for Farscape; it'll work again.
1. Sulfur. Because after fire and squeaky voices, it all boils down to the great comic equalizer: Stinky Farts. And Sulfur is where it's all at.
