We all have ultra - in high spirits hopes for Marvel ’s Agents of SHIELD , the video twirl - off of The Avengers . Will all the lineament turn out to be Skrulls ? We hope so . But if this show becomes a Brobdingnagian hit , the studio could decide to crank out more television show base on democratic cinema . Here are the 10 bad TV display that could result .

Yep , a TV show about Indiana ’s Word . Shia LaBeouf is probably about ready to make the leap to television receiver , the way Kevin Bacon and Kevin Spacey have recently . Just imagine Mutt move around in the 1950s , on his nerveless bike , like one of the Wild Ones , steal aboriginal artefact while heating up the Cold War with his Muttly charms .
Who is that guy who endure the rave club that we glimpse in The Matrix : Reloaded ? What does he do in his off minute ? ( I almost wrote “ Hoff Hours . ” ) gravely , this could be the playfulness - but - gritty story about running a nightclub under the constant threat of wanderer - bot attack . How do you get Lysol in Zion ? You roll in the hay they need a lot of disinfectant after one of those rave party . A lot of subplots could roll around the crackers chemist who makes all their tabs of go .
Yes , a show about the doctor from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind . It could be a situation comedy , sort of in the nervure of the first Bob Newhart show . Every week , Howard helps some patients by erasing their retentivity , but then wackiness ensues because they ca n’t commend where they put their car keys . Or maybe , they wind up in a uproarious coma .
So Ridley Scott ’s Legend is a furore movie rather than a box office hit . But it ’s become a beloved classic , at this point . And the master thing we remember about this picture show is that the Lord of Darkness ( Tim Curry ) gives a gothy makeover to Mia Sara ’s graphic symbol that apparently turns her evil . So how about a show where every calendar week , Tim Curry ( or someone pretending to be Tim Curry ) gives vicious makeovers to hopeful young people ? There could be a competition aspect to it — the someone whose makeover is the most successful fetch to drink down a unicorn at the end of every episode .
For those of you who have n’t compulsively watched Star Wars : The Return of the Jedi a thousand time , Malakili is the Rancor flight simulator who cry great tears when Luke Skywalker kills the carnivorous Rancor . ( And according toWookieepedia , there are a huge amount of semi - canonical narrative about Malkili , including a video game and some comics . Of course there are . ) So what about a TV show where Malakili goes around roll up and training uncivilised specimen on Tatooine and other satellite ? Sort of a mash - up of those Animal Planet shows about multitude who live with alligator , and a National Geographic special about exploring nature ? And then he train these creatures to gobble up unsuspecting Jedi .
perhaps we ’ll still get a sequel to Prometheus , where we get to find out what happened to Noomi Rapace ’s case after she blasted off with the severed head of David the android . But why do a movie , when you could have a tv set show ? Every week , Elizabeth Shaw and her robot head admirer go around the universe , solving mysteries and get Elizabeth into different unearthly medical excoriation . ( Another idea : an Office - stylus show about people who work at Weyland Yutani , although that actually sounds like it could be good . )
Yeah , a show about the two “ laughable relief ” character from the Pirates of the Caribbean films . Why not ? After they leave the Black Pearl for the final time , they pose themselves up as private detective , solve spiritual mysteries . And every week , they have to dress up in funny costume to confuse the great unwashed who are chasing them . There could be melodious figure . It would be awful , right ?
Basically , a show about the Ents from the Lord of the Rings picture show . Most of the time , it would just see like very obtuse footage of tree doing nothing . Okay , that ’s what it would count like all the time . It would be a very cheap show to make , and very relaxing to watch .
What if that Pan - Am show from a couple years ago had been about the escape attendants from 2001 : A Space Odyssey ? How hard must it be to get a new pair of stocking if you get a outpouring in one of them during a blank space trajectory ? Also , how do you remain glamorous in microgravity ? How many of those flight attendants are secretly spies , or writing a tell - all book , or sleep with HAL ? Every calendar week could be another wacky mishap , like “ one of the passengers has turn over into a giant baby AGAIN . Where did we put the giant diaper ? ”
And ultimately , John Turturro ’s dear character from the Transformers pic . We ’ve seen him get peed on by robots , and standing under giant robot ball — but we have n’t really explored his character in detail . We need a whole TV show where he work out at his mom ’s Judaic deli while investigating robot mysteries . Every week , the liquid oxygen - slicing motorcar turn out to be a Decepticon , or he run out of the gravlax . The theory are finite !
