I thought this would be a fun thread. Awhile back, on a Little House on the Prairie board on another forum, I had started a thread on potential spin-offs of that series. (Such titles included "Ruth Foster The People", etc) and it was a pretty fun thread. I thought I would do the same here. What could be some potential television series based on people on UM? Extra points for punny titles. I'll start:

How To Live With Your Parents For The Rest Of Your Life ~ Rebooted version of a real show from last year. More than 20 years later, Alan Mann and his wife Linda are still living with his parents and have no intention of ever leaving, much to the father's chagrin. They now have 2 children, adding to the family of flakes. With occasional apperances by Isabella Kramer.

Get The Heck Out Of Dodge ~ The surviving Mealbachs came to a settlement with the Dodges and inherited a mansion, but it turns out to be haunted by the ghost of Pat.

Something Wilder - "Bonnie Wilder" is still on the loose after all these years. Each week she tries to scam another establishment/business while wearing a variety of cheesy wigs and getups.

Currently the producers are wooing Roseanne Barr for the role!

In an early episode that is being planned, Bonnie goes head to head with her glamorous younger, sister, Liza Montgomery! Who will survive, the scamming sister showdown!?

Clean House with Paul Pollis - it's a tough contest as contenders living in the Clean House show just how much they like to live in it. Challenge events include floor-mopping, car packing, and dealing with people who are "just coming by to look."

Crash and Dash - practitioners compete for the chance to steal thousands of dollars in prizes, but watch out for the video camera!

Nice.

UnREsolved Mysteries ~ Hosted by Tim McClure, recounting paranormal events and unexplained phenomenon. At the end of each segment, Tim looks directly into the camera and says "I have no idea how that could have happened!"

The Wacky Wackers ~ Surviving members of the Wacker family are prone to weird phone calls and notes. A kook, Dorothy and Bill getting revenge in the afterlife, or something else entirely?

ooh, I have one.

The Tony Alamo Comedy-Variety Hour ~ Weekly, hour long program filled with Tony's gospel singing and testimony, and comedy skits. Also features his insane, incoherent ramblings and pleas for financial assistance.

Wiseguy , are you a fan of Keeping up appearances ? :D

Yes. I find the show to be dumb, stupid, corny, repetitive and completely implausible, and at the same time, I find it to be charming and completely hysterical. I have no explanation for it really.

I love this post. It summarizes the MacDonald case in less than a paragraph! Hopefully Netflix won't pick up the case and make a biased tv show about the former doctor that will cause an online petition to pardon him.
