What Storylines Would You Like To Have Seen In TV Shows

I wanted Norm’s wife Vera on Cheers to be really hot, and discover that he stayed at the bar because he felt inadequate Have an episode where the bar has a party and the regulars bring spouses/dates and Norm shows up with a shrew to play Vera. The real Vera shows up and thinks Norm is having an affair, but he just doesn’t want his freinds to know he is staying away from his hot wife.

Not that I thought about this…

MAS*H Hawkeye falls for a Korean woman and regularly visits her and her family. When he arrives at her house on one occasion, he finds the house strangely silent. As he enters the house to investigate, he finds sees the dead bodies of his lover’s parents and grandparents near a box of rifles.

“Hawkeye, NO!!!,” is the last thing he hears from this Korean woman before she is shot through the heart by a Korean Soldier. Hawkeye grabs the rifle she had been holding and shoots the Soldier, wounding him badly. He calls for Radar, who drove him that day, to get his first aid bag. The skilled surgeon patches up the Korean and transports him back to the 4077th.
Maj Freedman arrives at the camp at the same moment.

I know this is more of a plot summery than a story line, sorry.

This would have made a good story for the ongoing plotline in DS9 about Dr. Bashir and Section 31: Bashir discovers that the secret of perpetual youth and near-immortality was discovered centuries ago, only to be supressed at the highest levels by Federation officials who made the decision that immortality was incompatible with the Federation’s ideals.

Maybe we should start an online petition :D.

I always wonder what happens, eventually, to the characters when a series ends. Northern Exposure - does Chris the DJ still have a radio job? Did Ed ever leave to become a filmmaker? Are any of the characters’ jobs affected by the climate changes in Alaska ?

For the love of God, couldn’t Tom have beaten the crap out of Jerry just once? That show was as one-sided as a Mac commerical.

On Angel (early on) or Charmed, I would have liked for the baby demons that the characters were accidential impregnated with to have actually come to term instead of having them wisked away in a magical abortion. Cordelia or Phoebe having to raise a baby demon would have been interesting.

Speaking of raising someone, can’t they let the characters keep foundlings once in a while, instead of giving them back like on Ally McBeal, Monk, Medical Investigation etc etc? On already established shows that is, not like the 4000 or Punky Brewster where that’s a major plotpoint in the setup of the show.

tumbleddown, before the season started, there was an “e.r.” rumor that said Ray would be back for “at least one episode” so don’t give up hope yet. I want him to come back too because I love the character, even though he’s too good for her.

Really, I just wish that series that are getting cancelled would be given enough extra episodes to tie up the storylines properly.

I wish I had found out what happened to Seven on Married With Children. The last we saw of him was his face on a milk carton.

In the final seasons of Buffy (which may or may not have happened), I think it would have been cool if, just before leaving for England, Giles was bitten and turned. He could act as an occational big bad for season six, until Buffy was forced to dust him in the season finale.

I sorta wish John Winchester had never died. He was a dick, but kind of a likable dick. I wanted him to go off and hunt on his own, occationally crossing paths with his sons and belittling Dean, who would of course, bow his head and promise to try harder in hopes of gaining his father’s love. :slight_smile:

Also, if Kripke’s gonna keep bringing Bobby into the stories, we should probably learn something about him. Something other than the dead wife thing. And that goes double for Castiel.

In addition to this, I’m curious about how the holodeck technology affected society. Do ordinary Earth residents have a holodeck at home? Were there people who spent all their time in a holodeck? (At the end of the movie Trekkies, one of the comedians shown over the credits made a joke about finding 14-year-old Wesley Crusher spending all his time in the holodeck with a virtual Deanna Troi.)

I always wanted to see Al Bundy fall asleep in front of the TV and do a dream episode where he is Psycho Dad

Whores =/= companions. Although it seems from dialogue that Nandi had Companion training in Shihnon, Inara specifically corrects Mal when he muses about a “whole house full of Companions!” and reluctantly uses the word “whores” instead.

It’s the title of the thread…just saying.

No, but in the third season episode, “Finding Judas,” House punched Chase when Chase tried to stop a surgery that House ordered.

Actually, from watching tons of reruns on TV land, the POW’s were often quite open in front of Schultz about their operations. Schultz quite often took bribes such as chocolate or strudels baked by LeBeau to look the other way. Thus his famous cries of, “I see nothing, I know nothing.” Schultz was just an enlisted man who didn’t like military life and just wanted to get back to his toy factory, so he preferred to avoid all the complications of reporting Hogan’s activities and the possibility of being exposed as a collaborator, or even worse, in Schultz’s eyes, of being promoted or sent to the Eastern Front.

The last episode of Married With Children should have had Al chop up his family with an ax and be acquitted by a jury of twelve shoe salesmen.
