Let's have a little fun here and pretend we are development hacks pitching to the networks. Pitch the idea, the stars you have in mind and what network you might pitch it to. Comments are, of course, welcome and encouraged! I will go first:

"Mom and Me"
Joyce Dewitt, in her return to network tv following a far to long absence, plays mom to her skinny twenty something son. (a Jason Biggs type.) They live in a penthouse in NYC and live the good life. Dad died when the boy was small or so he has been told by mama. Sonny boy decides to take a college trip to Paris and needs his birth certificate to get his passport. Mama tries to talk him out if it and after some hilarious hide and seek, sonny boy finds it in mom's hiding place. It has his name on it and lists the birth place as Hope, Arkansas. "I thought I was born in New York?" He says directly into the camera perplexed. The space for father is left blank and after sonny boy digs around, he finds a picture of mom and a man who looks like, could it be, it is, President Clinton! They are smooching. Could it be? Will Mom finally fess up? How will he tell his sexy hot young girlfriend? (A Liv Tyler type.) What will his snobbish pal Robert (a cross between Chandler from Friends and a younger version of Niles from Frasier) think?

Perfect to pitch to ABC as a mid season replacement/possible companion piece to John Ritter's new show. Think of the cross over potential!

Cheers Spinoff: Welcome To La La Land

One of Cheers most beloved bit characters is back with his own show! Nuerotic, psychotic Andy Andy is back with a vengeance! After finally being released from a Boston psychiatric ward, Andy Andy decides to get a fresh start in LA. It's there where Andy will pursue his life long dream of acting. While living above a brothel(where he works part time as a towel boy) Andy sets out to land a gig in acting. Immediately, we discover that in Hollywood Andy isn't the craziest person after all. In the pilot, special guest star Shelley Long (Diane Chambers) who Andy meets while going to an audition.

Title: "Author, Author"

This one hour comedy/drama, based on the film starring Al Pacino, follows the trials and tribulations of Ivan Trevalian, a brilliant playwright who can't decide which is crazier - his home life or his professional life.
His second wife Gloria recently divorced him, leaving him with the kids, a rambunctious group made up mostly of Gloria's children from her multiple marriages.
There's precocious Geraldo, preteen hustler Spike, the twins Bonnie (the shy one) and Debbie (the troublemaker) and Igor, Ivan's 16 year old son from his first marriage.
Ivan tries his best to play referee, counselor and Father with his family, which he has dubbed "The Brady Bunch from Hell" while overseeing production of his latest play, a surefire blockbuster starring one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Alice Detroit, who beneath her facade of America's sweetheart (think Meg Ryan), she's actually a flaky, neurotic mess. Despite a rough start when he meets Alice, Ivan finds himself attracted to the beautiful diva, and thier secret affair will be one of the recurring storylines.
Also rounding out the cast are Arnold Kreplich, Ivan's old friend and Producer of the play, Carl, the untalented, obnoxious Director, and Shelly, Ivan's efficient assistant.

Frasier Spinoff: Fool Moon

From the creators of Cheers and Frasier comes a show about a guy with the ultimate American dream. Simon Moon, the brother of Frasier's housekeeper/father's physical therapist Daphne Moon, is on the road looking for adventure.(At this point in the preview, we hear the song, Born to be Wild) Simon Moon is an illegal alien who's looking for work and or fun with a merry band of misfits. Anthony La Paglia stars as Simon Moon.
