What would it be?

A Drama or

Comedy or

Talk Show or

Variety Show?

Movie Of The Week? Or what?

I don't mean your life really (although that is okay, as it is your show) but what would you like to see next or return to television?

Remember "On the Road with Charles Kuralt"? He travelled the US in his big RV covering interesting people, odd characters, small towns,etc. Since Mr. Kuralt is no longer with us, it would have to be "On the Road with Mollyblythe". I also like PBS travel shows like "California's Gold with Huell Howser", "California Heartland" and "America's Heartland" and "Rick Steve's Europe".

Would also bring back the good old TV classic sitcoms like Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke;variety shows like Carol Burnet, Sonny and Cher,Red Skelton, Jack Benny and others too numerous to mention. Remember "Crazy Like A Fox", "Hart to Hart". They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Also, have to bring back the old Saturday and Sunday Matinees with the old classic movies and maybe some of the newer good indie movies thrown in.

Me too. Like Miami Vice, Kojack and Frank Cannon which are playing over here right now in the Re-Runs catagory.

But I also liked Coach & Home Improvement for comedies.

A movie of the week, except it would be funny. Go out and recruit the B-list of Hollywood to go carte blanche and produce really funny, really great and experimental stuff. Don't get in the way of their script development and your only condition would be the run time and not falling afoul of the FCC.

it'd be like prison break, lost, heroes, look-a-like but different enough not to be cancelled or accused in stealing the flow. It's a new generation and I am willing to work my ass off to get it out in the TV.
Bad thing is, it won't happen before 2015 for sure
