I want “Brisco County: The Motion Picture,” starring Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, Billy Drago, and Kelly Rutherford. ---

As someone who routinely talks back to his television set, I’m dying to see what Mike, Tom and Crow could do to a creaky old hair-puller like Barbara Stanwyck’s _The Miracle Woman_, or a James A. FitzPatrick _TravelTalk_ featurette. ---

Personally I’d like the Harry Potter books to be miniseries, as the movies cut out most of the meat, but that’s a pipe dream. A sitcom not about a modern family, an office, or yuppies in NY/LA, or set in the present day, or a cartoon that’s not trying to be the next south park or simpsons. I also want more harvey birdman. It’s the only adult swim series that hasn’t been confined to sundays, aka the day I hurry to finish my homework on. There aren’t any shows about art or music (especially not on vh1 or mtv) like there are shows about celebrities or news. I remember egg the arts show, and it was an interesting premise, to simply showcase art objectively in its many forms… perhaps the same thing could be done for music… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-show-do-you-wish-there-was/289033.md?page=2)
