What do you think about this idea:
I have been a fan of the “Benson” TV series since 2006, and I have been working on a screenplay based on the show for some time. The screenplay is titled *Benson: A Family Reunion*. It includes all the main original characters, except for Marcy, whom I decided not to include, since Caroline McWilliams died in February 2010. (In the screenplay, Marcy has also died, in February 2010.) (The screenplay is dedicated to Caroline McWilliams, and there will also be several homages/tributes to her and Marcy.) Six new major characters, Rachel DuBois (Benson’s daughter), Anne Downey (Pete and Denise’s daughter), Clayton Endicott IV (Clayton’s son), Kate Endicott (Clayton IV’s wife), and Jenny and Molly Slater (Marcy’s daughters) join the original characters. Rachel, Anne, Clayton IV, Kate, Jenny, and Molly are all fans of the original characters, referring to them as a “group of legends”. There is a scene where Rachel, Clayton IV, Kate, Anne, Jenny, and Molly find a photo album with pictures from the series and additional pictures of the cast. There are (or will be) many homages to the show, flashbacks and references to classic moments, and in-jokes. One surprise cameo in the screenplay is an appearance by Jessica Tate from Soap, who is introduced when Gene Gatling says to Benson, "You want me to get that?" (after the doorbell rings), and Benson replies, "If you don't mind." Also, it includes the creators, Susan Harris, Paul Junger Witt, and Tony Thomas, as a group of historians, who come to interview Benson, Gene Gatling, and their friends. Another cameo in the screenplay is from Frankie (Jerry Seinfeld). |

Personally, I would be very interested in this. Sounds like it could be promising.
