> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > Why? Were your space-pants too tight? > I’d also like to see a Trek show written for adults with appropriate amounts of cursing, sexual relationships that _don’t_ have a lot of dumbed-down emotional significance, and hardcore ruthless violence such than when the Captain puts a guy in the airlock to question him, it’s not 100% certain he’ll actually let him out again. Personally, I’d just be happy if they’d just get better producers and writers. Frankly, I wouldn’t mind Star Trek written by the writers of 24. Of course, they’d have to have something bad bad or unexpected happen 5 minutes before the hour instead of resolving the episode. ---

_Brimstone_. I think with some freedom to develop how insane the escapees were, allow the protagonist to be more in line with his history (for a rough and tumble ex-cop gone astray, he sure came across as a big wuss), plus, the devil in every episode… the show might have lasted with some nudity and gore and f-bombs. ---

> [@plnnr](#): > > The women on the Andy Griffith Show, less so (but I bet Floyd the Barber was packing serious wang). The thought of Aunt Bea in a teddy makes me want to reach for the brain bleach-but we’d find out if Barney was doing Otis in a drunken state down at the station. Another suggestion would be _Lassie_. Arf. Arf! What’s that girl? Timmy is experimenting with autoerotic asphyxiation? Arf! ARF! He’s up in the barn loft with a hangman’s noose and a rubber sheep? ARF! ARF! He’s out of Astroglide??? We’ve got to save him now! Good girl, Lassie! ---

I just had an evil thought. Same cheesy actors, same cheesy plots, same endless smirking double-entendres, but now with FOLLOW-THROUGH! I speak, of course, of the HBO production of “Three’s Company.” Plus, since there seem to be a lot of Don Knotts fans on this board … ---

> [@plnnr](#): > > The women on Petticoat Junction would have looked pretty good naked. > > The women on the Andy Griffith Show, less so (but I bet Floyd the Barber was packing serious wang). There’s Uncle Joe, he’s movin’ kinda slow, at the Junction… But the Betty, Bobbie, and Billie thing would work. I’d like me a Lori Saunders/Gunilla Hutton action (Gunilla got replaced by Meredith MacCrae, she’d work, too). Nobody mentioned “Charlies Angels”?? ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Xena : Warrior Princess. 😃 > > Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy and Xena were among my first thoughts as well, but upon reflection I have to disagree on Xena. Not that don’t enjoy the thought of a tasteful waterfall shower scene starrring Lucy and Renee, but the charm of Xena, to me was the essential ambiguity of the PHYSICAL relationship between Bard and Warrior, which allowed the EMOTIONAL relationship proper prominence. But naked Willow? I’d buy a Tivo. and I hate Tivo. ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My first thought. Aww, yeah, naked Spike. Ooh . . . that man is the most gorgeous creature in existence, weird hair or not. Ooh, know what was a great show? “Sports Night”. There was seriously something between the two male leads. (Well, in my imagination there was.) I wouldn’t mind seeing them get all naked and stuff. Great writing, too. Man, I miss that show. ---
