> [@The\_Shroud](#): > > I’d like to see Pam and Jim quit _The Office_. I love them, but their story ended 2 seasons ago. Same with Cameron and Chase on _House_. > > I’d like to see the _Scrubs_ spinoff defy the odds and succeed creatively. The show was long in the tooth, but I could easily enjoy 8 more years of Dr. Cox. I’d at least like to see Cameron and Chase out of the opening credits - it’s kind of offensive to the new Cottages, don’t you think? Of course, I’d also like to see Thirteen fall off a cliff and die and everybody care approximately as much as they cared about poor Kutchner, which is fucking none. And I’d also like her to start getting as much screen time as he did, which is also fucking none. Grr. I didn’t realize I was still mad about that. ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Second would be a show in which the film proves that nobody actually did mess with it, and the whiner is just trying to cover up a dumb mistake. I think that’s what normally happens, and no cameraman thinks “I better get video of this guy turning up his burner.” ---

I want to see Thirteen fall into a woodchipper. Differential? Apparently there will be much more Cameron and Chase this year, as they deal with their new marriage . . . maybe there will be good stuff there. And House in the asylum, I’m really looking forward to that. **Sampiro** , your suggestions about 30 Rock are gold! And James Best is a righteous choice for Sam’s dad. ---

I wanna see _The Unit._ ::sniff:: The Whiplash storyline was getting \*very \* interesting. ---

> [@Lumpy](#): > > On second thought… what if they shot a “Mary dies” episode, and arrange to air it if the show isn’t renewed? Has any show ever had the stones to do this? That would be awesome. Sort of. The producers of _Sledge Hammer!_ were pretty sure the show would be canceled at the end of its first season, so they ended it with Sledge triggering a nuclear explosion, killing everyone. When the show was renewed, they started the first episode of the new season with “Two years before that explosion…” (I’m not sure it was two years, but something like that…TRM) ---

Lost: there better be answers dammit. I want answers to all of it! Fast Forward: I want it to captivate and frustrate me like Lost does and then give me answers to all the questions I’m going to have. Grey’s Anatomy: less Meredith Grey. Actually, no Meredith Grey would be great. CSI: I want 3 or 4 episodes with Grissom. I miss Grissom. Breaking Bad: just hurry up with next season so I can find out what happens, because that show has managed to surprise me at just about every turn. I want Walt to realize that he is the root cause of the plane crash. Will he start using? How will he deal with the guilt? Survivor: I want to see more drama and less wilderness edits. NCIS: Ziva and Tony need to boom-chicka-wow-wow in the worst way. NCIS Los Angeles: Please don’t suck. ---

NCIS: I want to see Tony get a good punch in the face. And/or Ziva get owned in a fight. I’m tired of her just being an omipotent battle chick-there’s never any sense of physical danger because she’s from the immortal infallible Mossad. And Tony can be a dick sometimes. I’m disappointed that Satan has been cast-no matter who they pick will fall short. Unless it’s John Glover. And even then, just keep it a mystery until the right time and used VERY sparingly. Smallville-do something interesting. Or put your money into a Green Arrow show or something. ---

> [@h.sapiens](#): > > On “Bones”, I’d like to see the “Booth might be suffering from amnesia” cliffhanger dropped as quickly as possible, even if it means that Booth was playing a cruel joke on Brennan by pretending to have amnesia. Like he did in the Worst Episode of All Time? I do have to give them credit that unlike most shows, people were very concerned and thought it was a Big Deal when he started to hallucinate Stewie from the Family Guy. They didn’t just play it as “oh crap, gotta keep that one a secret” or “oh, isn’t that cute?” They did react as normal people do when their friends start to see cartoon characters and ghosts and such and really believe they exist. ---

I would be happy if we got through an episode of Eureka without someone dying. I love the show, but it’s stretched beyond all credibility now that the body count almost matches the town’s population. A simple day in the life episode where Carter and the rest of the town aren’t being cavelier about mounting corpses would be nice. ---

I’d like _EastEnders_ to have just one wedding without a fistfight. Is that too much to ask? Actually, t’hell with it - I’ll stick to _The Archers_. ---

I’d like just one American TV series have a season (that isn’t a series-ender) not end with a cliff-hanger. I much prefer the British way. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-you-like-to-see-happen-on-next-seasons-tv-shows-possible-spoilers/508179.md?page=2)
