View Full Version : Prequels
treky 04-30-2021, 02:24 AM are there any sitcoms you'd like to see a prequel to? I wouldn't mind seeing one to THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW showing Andys wife and what happened to her,when he became sheriff, Opie being born, how Barney got to be his deputy, etc.
Gilligan's Island - What were the lives of the castaways like before they landed on the island and how did they all end up on the 3 hour tour that put them there together?

And where they loaded all the extra stuff they happened to have with them. And maybe we could get a glimpse of Gilligan being a "mighty sailing man."
Bonniegirl 04-30-2021, 10:16 PM I would like to see Ann and Ed together young married and Julie and Barbara as little girls before the divorce and move to Indianapolis on One day at a time !:)

That might get a little creepy, didn't Ann marry Ed right out of high school, Ann still a teenager with Ed already in his late 30's!

I think he was probably just in his late 20's ! ;)
treky 05-01-2021, 01:46 AM Randolph Blake is the key to everything.?

yea, I'd like to see that.
Bonniegirl 05-01-2021, 02:04 AM ?
That was from an episode where they heard on the radio that they were still trying to find the killer of a guy named Randolph Blake .All the castaways had a beef with him before the " 3 hour tour" . They did a reenactment of what happened with each castaway's encounter with Randolph Blake , and it turned out it was an accidental death, not a homicide ! ;)

Thanks, Bonniegirl! I didn't get it, either.
But I still want to see Gilligan being a "mighty sailing man!"

Me too . I'd love to also meet Skinny Mulligan , the friend Gilligan always talked about .Go back long before they all went on the vacation in Hawaii .See the Howell's in rich high society, Mary Ann on the farm in Kansas , Ginger as a Hollywood actress. The professor teaching at a University . And of course Skipper's and Gilligan's life before they knew each other than as Gilligan became the first mate , the mighty sailor man .:D
Wouldn't this make a fun mini series ? ;):)
stevea 05-01-2021, 01:17 PM Yes it would. They ought to do it. It'd take awhile to find the right actors.
I'm glad you liked my "Gilligan's Island" idea. Here's another one I thought of. It would be from "Happy Days" and it would be based on Fonzie's childhood, which was hardly mentioned by him on the show but that only helped add to his mysterious and somewhat dark personality which only seemed to make him look cooler. I think it would be interesting to see how he grew up, from being left alone by his parents at 5, to living as a nerdy child looking to be noticed and accepted, to becoming the gang leader of the Falcons, to eventually becoming the coolest man in Milwaukee and possibly all of America! In the supporting cast, you can include Rocky Baruffi, his best friend as a teenager, and even Carmine Ragusa from "Laverne & Shirley".

Would this be called "Young Fonzie?"
merlinjones 05-07-2021, 12:59 PM I like the Gilligan's Island idea -- just The Howells alone could be a funny show (but not without the original cast, sadly).
"Prewitched" - How about the past lives of Samantha before she met Darrin? -- Her unbridled witchly adventures might be entertaining and help us understand why the quiet life would ultimately appeal to her. She might have been as naughty as Serena in past times. And you'd have all her relatives to work with too.

I LOVE the name Prewitched! I'd watch based on the name alone! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
treky 05-08-2021, 02:00 AM I wouldn't mind seeing one for GET SMART
treky 05-08-2021, 02:12 AM I'd also like to see one for THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES...showing Jeds late wife Rose-Ellen, how they met, show when Jed proposed to her (Jed and Granny talked about it in an early episode), show them getting married, show Elly being born etc.....and end it by showing Jed "shootin' at some food...an' up from th' ground comes a'bubblin' crude" (and don't anyone say they showed that in that AWFUL movie-that thing was SOOOO bad I just ignore it and pretend it do-doesn't exist)
