I’ve always wanted to do a TV show called Crispy Waltons. It would be just like The Waltons,
except that instead of the show ending with them all saying good night,
it would start with that. Then, after a few moments of silence, you’d
see a flicker of flame in somebody’s window. To cries of alarm, you
would see the fire quickly spread from room to room, closing off any
avenue of escape. Then, for the next hour (not counting commercials),
you would watch the house slowly burn to the ground. I think people
would like it. The only problem I can see in pitching it to the
networks is what do you do for the second episode? I suppose you could
watch the same thing happen at Ike Godsey’s place, or that house where
those two booze-bag spinsters live (man, that place would go up like
the Hindenburg), but really, that just drags out the problem. Still, I think it’s a good premise… it just needs a little work, that’s all. |

We've got J-Lo on board and Clooney has been approached and Will Smith will play all the kids.We just want a pilot script and outline for 6 more episodes with some sample dialogue. Is next week good for you? |

Episode 2: Crispy Partridge (with Steve Coogan), Crispy Corleone, etc... the Bin Ladens will string out the last 3 programmes, as there are about 184 of them... although some may get a head start on you. |
