TV series I'd love to watch

[Sal]

The main reason why I love to watch classic TV series from the 50s to the 70s is because I feel that they're better than anything that can be found in prime time today. There are a some good drama series out there and a couple of great game shows like "Deal or No Deal" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?", but overall, there are way too many reality series and not enough sitcoms to get excited about that you can watch every week. When "Two and a Half Men" can get the highest ratings among all sitcoms week after week, with little competition from other comedies, you know the industry is in trouble.

With the May Network Upfronts only a few days away, when the networks try to promise us with new and improved series for the fall TV season that they are sure we'll want to watch (yeah, right!), I would like to give you my own list of new series that I've made up that I would positively watch if somehow they were placed on the fall primetime schedule. They might not sound great to you, but for me, they sure beat "Andy Barker PI". Here they are.



THE AMAZING GRACE

A group of nuns race around the world for large cash prizes to see who will be the first one to break all of the Ten Commandments. Hosted by Sally Field.

RAY'S ANATOMY

Ray Romano stars as a doctor who just can't seem to score with his nurses, no matter how hard he tries.

TOAST WHISPERER

Jennifer Love Hewitt finds out that she can communicate with evil spirits who are trapped inside her toaster.

SEAL OR NO SEAL

Howie Mandel gets a job working at Marineland.


Mid-season replacements:

SURVIVOR: BUFFALO

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A SUPERMODEL?

HOW I MET YOUR PROCTOLOGIST



I dare the networks to come up with better stuff than this. It can't be possible.

With past events, these are my show. I love the shows you created. I'd love to see Ray play a doctor:

How Marcia got her Groove back (god bless her )

House: the Suzanne Somers edition (god bless her, too)

Danny Partridge: C'mon get alimony! (I feel so bad for him)
