Monday Mornings S01E01 HDTV x264-LOL

it's called fringe ..& has much weirder stuff than just vampires.

think your onto something there, all the bin men are ex desert storm vets who served together, they
could move to a different neighborhood every week solving issues, eg feeding stock brokers &
politicians into the crusher...end of every episode would show them parked up sinking beers &
smoking heroin after dumping their load in land fill..., ...it could be called 'taking out the
trash' or 'trash men'

this

thank you - you're very kind 🙂

words can not describe how average this sounds.

already been done...may i refer you to the estimable series "common as muck"
imdb.com/title/tt0108729/ the trials and tribulations of a group of binmen brought together by
their common love of their job.

on garbage men, prostitutes & ''other peoples money':





fair enough - and i remember we had a garbage men movie with the estevez bros (sheen being the
stage name martin chose) called men at work.

i'd just make three points:

-i was only saying that the criteria i laid out applied to tv dramas. movies are a whole other animal
since a sequel (equivalent of a second episode) is relatively unusual for dramas. with movies making a
drama would be like making a one shot tv film or perhaps making a pilot but no additional eps (tho'
that'd be a really bad business decision). also, tv comedies have a whole other set of conventions,
which is why unoffensive (bordering on blah) repetitive and totally formulaic sitcoms still dominate. i
still
don't see how you'd make a hooker or garbage man tv drama (unless they're nontraditional detectives
- which leads to my second point).

-i certainly wasn't trying to say that only those traditional forms (medical, cop, lawyer) were able to be
successful. that's why i put in the 'monster of the week' bit. another example that's quite common is
'non-traditional investigator' (from the mentalist, monk & psych to murder she wrote, father dowling &
going way back - mrs. columbo). that could be considered merely a sub-genre of 'pi shows' which for
whatever reason seem less popular than they used to be (moonlighting, simon & simon, magnum pi,
rockford files, banaceck & peter gunn). moreover both are pretty much the same as cop shows imo.
it's also worth mentioning a genre i loathe: nighttime soap. while there is the dallas reboot and
maybe nashville (never watched) they've annoyingly focused on teens in the recent past - gossip girl,
90210 reboot, one tree hill, etc

-while it's certainly possible to make a successful tv drama without going back to the well of doctors
lawyers & cops (or detective or soap or monter hunter), my point is that those have the best chance of
success. making producing a new tv show is risky. just like opening a restaurant, you're more likely to
fail than succeed. there are successful and profitable exceptions to motivate investing in pilots, but
they usually don't get picked up- and if they do, they're often canceled anyway. if i had to invest my
money, i'd sooner look for a good location for a few mcdonald's franchises than try for something
innovative (hawaiin cuisine p'haps?). by the same token i'd sooner put my money in a cop show with a
decent script than a show about oil riggers on deep sea drilling platforms. i'd rather try eating at
dace's
luau shack than mcd & i'd truly much rather see a drama about deep sea drilling than another cop
show - but only if the investment is 'opm'.

ps:


thanks achdeeteevee 🙂

i enjoyed it.

the title of this series? superclap. no? meh.


how 'bout her super power is that she can read a guy's mind while he's... "with" her. yeah, awesome
idea. pitch it to fox. >.>


sounds a little like end of watch. ...but with garbage men instead of cops.

sounds like the premise for an inception porn parody - contra(in)ception ?

i dont like medical dramas, but this was surprisingly good.

i think i'll write back via pm- we're far afield from the show for this particular thread & i think everyone
else moved on to other threads anway 🙂

actually ended up giving this a chance although it's not my kind of show at all, and somehow found it not
bad at all. definitely giving it a few more episodes and actually encourage the rest of the pessimists to do
the same 😉

after all, it has quite a decent cast, and does differ from other medical dramas in a few ways. not great,
but quite decent indeed at least.

either one sounds very fun. the hooker show would run blue enough that the "powers" could approach
misfits-level bizzare fucked-upness and be super interesting, along with showing the unique lifestyles
and
attitudes of prostitutes of varying levels of intelligence, ambition, and moral/ethical compass. you could
even have one who is a straight-up crackwhore and neglects her kids - and with good writing it could be
exceptional.

the garbageman show...please just start writing that yourself now.

get either of these on vodo and i *will* donate.

and maybe call it tricks.
