Okay, for many years I've had ideas for TV shows. I don't know if I can remember all of them, but I'll try to tell you about any that come to mind.

Hard Time on Planet Ondarius
This was an Idea I had for a spin-off from "Hard Time on Planet Earth." I think I once heard Jesse say his homeworld was called Ondarius, but I may have misheard. In any event, the idea was to follow what was going on back on his homeworld, with his followers in their ongoing rebellion against the Council. There would have to be episodes dealing with things that happened on HToPE, like Jesse trying to send a message back that his vice-commander had betrayed them, or an assassin from his homeworld, who failed to kill him, delivering a message that he was still alive. Or this one guy he met once, who returned home, could contact them. But mostly the stories would have nothing to do with Jesse, except occasionally characters might mention him, or there could be flashbacks to before he was exiled. Of course... this series would be impossible, because HToPE itself didn't last very long.

One idea I had was for a cartoon set maybe between ten and twenty years after Inspector Gadget, in which Penny was all grown up, now a hotshot inspector herself. Not, of course, with the kind of built-in gadgets her uncle had, but she would be far more brilliant than he ever was, and have her external technology, computers and stuff. And maybe a descendant of Brain's would help her, I dunno. I don't have much of a better idea about what would happen in the show. But it occurs to me now her uncle might have some role in it. Maybe he could be retired, or maybe he could even be the new Chief. Just as clueless as ever, of course.

Another idea I had, which is pretty stupid, would be a show where the main characters, a family... just sort of, remember things about their lives as... the things come up. They all wake up one day not knowing anything about themselves. But right away, the husband and wife look at each other and suddenly remember being married. Then they go out in the hall, and the kids come out, and when everyone sees each other, they remember each other. Things have to trigger their memories. Like they don't remember where they work until they get calls wondering why they haven't shown up. None of them remember friends or more distant family or coworkers until they see them again. They don't even remember their likes or dislikes, interests, or anything about their lives, until something triggers their memory. Maybe in one episode a relative would come for a visit and they'd be like "Oh, I have a (whatever the relation is)." It's a pretty lame concept and couldn't be stretched very far I suppose. But it's an idea I had. So, I list it here.

One idea I always quite liked, but which would be practically impossible, would be a show that didn't really have its own time slot or network. It might get its own special episode every once in a while, particularly the pilot episode. It actually taps into another idea I had that wasn't about TV at all, and is part of something larger, a book idea I had once that involved... various groups of people who each had... a different... thing I can't really go into, but eventually all the groups would have to come together to like, save the world from alien invaders, or something. But that has nothing to do with this show. This show is about one of those groups, who call themselves sci-magicians. Long before I ever heard of technomages or anything like that, or the quote about all sufficiently advanced science looking like magic, it had occurred to me, myself. That science and magic are pretty similar. So, I thought up this group of people who do magical sort of things through science... or a combination of science and magic. They have serious uses for this ability, and real adventurers and stuff... but one thing they can do with their power, to relax and just have some fun, is to sort of leap into different TV shows. Not to appear on a studio set or anything, surrounded by actors, but to actually appear within the fictional worlds of these shows, and have them appear... have them actually be real. And all the characters believe they themselves are real, and their world is real, and everything. The sci-magicians might sometimes just blend into the show without revealing the truth, but sometimes they would tell characters that all this was fiction. Some might believe them, some might not. The main idea for this, is that I often find myself wishing I could be on a show and talk to the characters, influence what happens. Because the people who write shows don't always write them the way I would. Of course, some shows will occasionall have their own characters reference the fact that they're on a show. I always love that. Some do it once in the entire run of the series, or very rarely, and others do it fairly frequently. Anyway... the sci-magicians would leap into any show on any network. Which is why they wouldn't need their own slot, their show's episodes would just be whichever episodes of real shows they leapt into. The biggest problem would be getting different networks to agree to this. As well as the creators of the shows, who might not want their shows messed up with my stupid idea. But I think it'd be a symbiotic relationship: fans of my show would follow the characters to the other shows, and might become fans of those shows because of it. Fans of the other shows might see an episode of my show and start following the characters to other shows.
