the untimely death of John Hughes we’ll
likely never know you’re not fooling
anybody bender the next screw that falls
out is gonna be you
it what was that eat my shorts
nevertheless a show set at Shermer High
School can explore how all the cliques
and insecurities that accompany young
adulthood have and haven’t changed since
the original brat pack graced the big
screen at its best a Breakfast Club show
would be smart funny and speak for every
generation of teenagers forget it leave
me alone at its worst we’ll get
something like the short-lived Ferris
Bueller and Uncle Buck shows Sincerely
Yours The Breakfast Club number 9 The
Fast and the Furious franchise that’s
right
with its first six movies The Fast and
the Furious franchise perfected its
formula for success
take a few macho guys give them fast
cars sprinkle in some beautiful women
this is your chases and explosions for
good measure and you’ve got a kick-ass
action blockbuster it don’t matter if
you win by an inch or a mile winnings
winning that’s pretty much all Universal
Studios would have to bring to the table
for a Fast and the Furious series to
work the franchise will feel right at
home on TV since so many shows Center on
heists automobiles and outlaws being
pursued by the police anyway number
eight inception is your first lesson in
two and a half hours Christopher Nolan
packed more exposition ideas and
philosophies into Inception than most
storytellers incorporate into the entire
run of a TV show with that said imagine
what Nolan and company might accomplish
with a series set in the Inception
universe
each week a team of dream stealers
ventures into a new targets mind and
implants an idea into their subconscious
you need the simplest version of the
idea in order for it to grow naturally
in your subjects mind that’s a very
settle out seeing how dreams have
unlimited possibilities so would the
story ideas and settings for inception
the series plus maybe will at last find
out if Cobbs top stopped spinning
number seven The Big Lebowski
okay when FX adapted Fargo into a series
audiences were shocked by how faithfully
the showrunners recreated the film’s
tone writing and dark humor yeah just
like your opinion man since they managed
to do one Coen Brothers masterpiece
justice a Big Lebowski TV drama isn’t
out of the question either The Big
Lebowski series could work as a prequel
concerning how Jeff Lebowski became the
dude I’m the dude so that’s what you
call me you know that or his dude miss
or Deuter or you know el duderino if
you’re not into the whole brevity thing
and Walter Sobchak Vietnam days he died
as so many young men of his generation
before his time then there was the Lord
you took him as you took so many bright
flowering young men at Khe Sanh that
Languedoc at Hill 364 of course we’d
also abide a sequel series about the
dude getting acquainted with a little
Lebowski and replacing his valued rug
there rug really tied the room together
did it not number six the Alien
franchise
the Alien franchise has already been
further explored in sequels prequels
crossovers video games and comics
goddamnit
that’s not all a TV show just seems like
a foregone conclusion as for the plot
how about we finally get a proper origin
story that reveals where the xenomorph
species came from what happened on the
derelict spacecraft carrying all those
alien eggs and what the deal with
Prometheus was or just show us cool
spaceships and aliens attacking people
as long as Winona Ryder is not involved
will tune in to watch if there’s party
that’s human I’m just look at me I’m
disgusting number 5 the Harry Potter
franchise with eight movies in the Canon
and a spin-off trilogy in development we
should be content with Harry Potter this
boy will be famous there won’t be a
trial to that rattle – doesn’t know his
name exactly on the other hand you can
never have too much of the Boy Who Lived
don’t tell me now did you grow into care
for the boy the Potter verse is open to
numerous TV concepts from a drama about
an underdog Quidditch team going for the
World Cup
to a sitcom about Dean Thomas and Seamus
Finnigan sharing a flat in London to a
reality show starring the Dursley family
dedicate an entire channel to original
potter-themed content while you’re at it
recipe Gryffindor number for Mean Girls
so who is a lady problem that they’d
like to talk about yes somebody wrote in
that book that I’m lying about being a
virgin cuz I use super jumbo tampons but
I can’t help it if I’ve got a heavy flow
and a wide-set vagina it’s probably too
late for the original Mean Girls to
reprise their roles for a TV
continuation along the lines of clueless
I could put my whole fist in my mouth or
a seat yeah okay since high school
hasn’t changed much since 2004 though a
sitcom can always follow a new class of
plastics check it out junior plastics
the only person who must return is Tina
Fey whose screenplay so hilariously
captured the teen lingo
with one-liners people still quote to
this day so fetch
what is fetch oh it’s like slang England
if the project is left in anyone else’s
hands we’ll just get another ABC family
sequel whoever wrote it probably didn’t
think anyone would ever see it come on
Tina let’s make fetch happen already so
fetch Gretchen stop trying to make fetch
happen it’s not going to happen number
three The Goonies first you gotta do the
truffle shuffle the cast of this
nostalgic classic might be more ancient
than one-eyed Willy himself but that
doesn’t mean the Goonies can’t still
make a small screen comeback piece the
series could follow The Adventures of
the grown-up Goonies and their children
as proposed for the long-awaited
theatrical sequel or the gang could
return in animated form your dream
there’s no way the latter would benefit
from never having to age the kids and
being able to send them on exploits too
costly for live action don’t lie to me
honestly we went over to my keys dad’s
place oh we found a map it’s underneath
this place there we threader either way
we’d be guaranteed more exciting
treasure hunts and truffle shuffles
number two The Matrix franchise
The Matrix Reloaded didn’t quite live up
to expectations and Matrix Revolutions
was flat-out garbage
even if the Wachowskis alienated some
fans with the matrix equals the universe
they created still has an immensely
alluring lore unfortunately no one can
be told what the matrix is you have to
see it for yourself
television might be the ideal venue for
the franchise to redeem itself allowing
more time to flesh out characters and
ideas have you ever had a dream neo that
you were so sure was real what if you
were able to wake from that dream how
would you know the difference between
the dream world and the real be it
live-action or in the spirit of the
Animatrix it’d be great to see the
series cover anything from the creation
of the matrix to Morpheus as origins to
the machine wars aftermath
before we pitch our top pick to the TV
networks here are a few honorable
mentions walk down the right back alley
in Sin City and you can find anything I
don’t even have to floss number one The
Incredibles Elastigirl mr. incredible of
all the standalone movies that have come
out in the past decade none has left
audiences pining for more more than the
Incredibles generally said their powers
are nothing to be ashamed of
our powers made a special Brad Birds
instant classic was tailor-made for
further adventures in movies comics and
television the potential for an
Incredibles animated series is endless
pinning the superhero family against
villains like bon voyage and the
Underminer every week with Birds
masterful creativity at the show’s helm
an Incredibles cartoon would surely
deliver the comedic wit of The Simpsons
meets the colorful action of the
Avengers
