TV Spinoffs I Would Like to See

 So, I just found this on my computer from a while back. Thought it was funny. Some of the stuff might be a little dated and I don't feel like going back and changing it. Enjoy.

Barney and Friends
Who: Neil Patrick Harris and rotating cast of kids.
What: Barney Stinson is forced into hiding after his numerous exploits around New York (and the world) reach critical mass and he can no longer hide from it. So, he takes refuge in the most unlikely of places: a day care center. To further conceal himself, he runs this day care center disguised as a happy-go-lucky purple dinosaur.
Why: Barney Stinson is the runaway star of How I Met Your Mother, which has been on a decline ever since people got wind of the fact the show is just buying time until it inevitably introduces the Mother from the title (By my estimate, there's only a couple more years till those kids need to be born and I see Ted's bride having a white wedding). It is time for Barney to take over his own show, and this vehicle offers everything NPH (and Barney) could want including numerous singing numbers and plenty of lessons to make up for his blog being shut down.

Untitled 30 Rock Spinoff
Who: Lonny Ross, just about all the current cast except for Tina Fey (after the Pilot), and maybe bring in a big gun like Matthew Perry or Bradley Whitford to give it legitimacy. Head writer: Aaron Sorkin.
What: Liz Lemon, tired of the corporate control of her live comedy show, has a meltdown on a live broadcast, forcing her out of the position on the long running TGS. The network brings in former prized employee Josh Girard, and his production partner (Perry or Whitford) to be the new lead writer and producer respectively. Josh is only willing to do this because the movie production companies blacklisted him after he tested positive on a drug screening (yeah, like  Hollywood really cares).
Why: Think of this as a hour long dramatic version of 30 Rock. I could see someone like Aaron Sorkin writing it. How could this not work? It sounds like ratings gold compared to the moderate ratings success 30 Rock has had.

<Formal Retraction: Apologies. This is actually the plot to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It seemed like a good idea. Who would've known it would fail?>

Now I Met You MotherWho: Josh Radnor (Ted), Allison Hannigan (Lily), Jason Segal (Marshall), Kristen Wiig or Bell, or any comedic actress named Kristen who has played Jason Bateman's wife in a movie (the Mother)
What: More of a continuation and renaming of the flagship show, this is the story of Ted's life after meeting the girl of his dreams. Barney's gone into hiding (See Barney and Friends), and Robin finally ditches New York for Japan or France, or wherever she goes.
Why: Even the casual fan is tired of wondering who the mother is. By making this change, new blood is brought into the cast. Some of Ted's annoying qualities can get underplayed. And, the new couple/old couple dynamic can be played on more.

Law & Order: Ice City
Who: Ice T, Ice Cube, and hell, find a way to throw Richard Belzar in the mix.
What: Fin gets thrown back into Narcotics when he transfers to the mean streets of Anchorage (or Minneapolis. The location is secondary, especially after LOLA proved there is so much life in the franchise going to new locations). His new partner, played by Ice Cube, plays compliment to Fin as they solve the case in classic Law & Order fashion.
Why: Chris Meloni is left SVU and Mariska Hagirtay has one foot out the door. Might as well tear things down and add another show to the Law & Order umbrella. I think Ice Cube, though he is best known for his comedic roles in movies like "Are We There Yet?" and "Friday", could somehow find a way to channel a badass. The only risk here is that it may need to be picked up by HBO due to profanity restraints.

DeCoupling
Who: The cast of the original [British] version, except possibly Gina Bellman
What: Where Coupling was the show of everyone coming together, DeCoupling is the show of it all falling apart. Watch as Steve and Susan go through a painful divorce and Patrick and Sally finally confront the issues behind why they have had a 6 year engagement. Also, Jeff is back, still as single as ever to play compliment to them.
Why: First of all, Coupling did not seem bittersweet enough when it ended for being a British comedy. Here's how they can make up for it. Just about all the actors are without major scheduling commitments. The important part is getting writer Steven Moffat to pull himself away from Dr. Who. This would prove easier said than done.

Breaking Dawn
Who: Michelle Trachtenberg and any other Whedon-approved actor.
What: A few years have pass from where "Buffy the Vampire Slayer left off". Buffy's dead and Dawn is left to pick up the pieces, only there's a catch. Dawn is not the slayer. Follow as Dawn tries to carry on where her sister left off, without the benefit of having slayer strength and instincts.
Why: If it is possible to ignore what has happened in the "Buffy-verse" via comics since the series ended seven years ago, it would be nice to see Joss Whedon pick back up on the series that made him famous (also, his most successful endeavour to date). Harriet the Spy has not found much success post-Buffy and this would just require singing anyone else from Buffy or Angel who is still willing and getting Whedon to pull himself away from writing and directing those Marvel movies.

Ellen and Bob
Who: Ellen DeGeneras and Bob Newhart
What: A father-daughter comedy about...anything you want. We have two powerhouse stars here who could be dynamite with their dry humor.
Why: Ellen (from shows like "Ellen", "The Ellen Show" and more recently "The Ellen DeGeneres Show") and Bob (from shows like "Bob", "Newhart" and two different shows called "The Bob Newhart Show") are both heavyweights in sitcoms who also have some of the least original show titles in all of TV. Let's try to bring them together and see if we can strike gold.

Bitch Hunter
Who: Will Ferrell as "The Bitch Hunter" and some faceless improv comedians.
What: Follow "The Bitch Hunter" in this mockumentary style show, similar to something like Reno 911 as he hunts down bitches for 30 minutes of hilarity.
Why: The hurdles for this show seem great, but this running gag from 30 Rock's 4th season could be feasible. The show is not a complex one: follow Will Ferrell as he victimizes people during his hunt for bitches. In terms of time commitment, Ferrell could knock this out in a few weekends, barely impeding his movie career. I say, NBC should make a half season order and play it on off weeks on Thursdays. Besides, I really want to see why that bitch had to put down that Mimosa.

There's more, but second drafts are hard so I stopped here (my English grades make so much sense now).
