What if??? TV Shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi Y'all

A while back we had a thread that speculated what kinds of movies Freddie might have done.

I was at the check out of our supermarket and saw the new issue of TV Guide celebrating 50 years of TV

It got me to thinking.....

What if Freddie were here today and the age he would be (47)

So many famous people are doing guest appearances and even recurring roles on some of the hottest TV shows on the tube.

What shows could you see Freddie doing.. ..please be specific as to the role he would play. You can invent a role on a current show for him, you don't have to cast him in a preexisting role. This can be any show; dramas, sitcoms, etc. Be creative!

I don't watch much current TV (I'm on the internet 24-7 these days ) But one of my favorites is Law and Order. I would love to see him as a guest playing the part of a grieving jilted husband who's wife is murdered and he is the main suspect.... But they get him off in the end cause he didn't do it!

OK...any other ideas? (BTW Don't limit yourselves...if you can hear him doing a voice on one of the current animated series...go for that too!)

I could see him on a crime/lawyer drama such as NYPD Blue or Law & Order. He would look so hot as a prosecuting lawyer in one of those pin-striped Armani suits.
And I could also see him hosting the Oscars. Billy Crystal and Whoopie Goldberg have nothin' on him.
I could imagine him on so many shows...he was so diverse. Maybe Friends...or Who's Line Is It Anyway?

That sounds like a great idea for a Freddie fan fiction!

I am a big fan of "Law and Order" too, and I can see Freddie as a new assistant district attorney flirting with the pretty blonde ADA (can't think of the actress's name) on the original show, or playing a man Det. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is involved with on "SVU". Either of those actresses would look good with him, and both are so serious they could use someone to lighten them up LOL!

Since my new favorite show is "NYPD Blue", I have to say I could also see him on there. He did a bit of the "master of disguise" thing in the TV movie he made, so I could imagine him playing an undercover cop, using his gift for accents and disguises to catch criminals. Or he could play a member of the new lieutenant's family, maybe one who gets into some trouble with the law and turns to Lt. Rodriguez (Esai Morales) for help.

Oops, my post came up twice!

I can see him in his own detective series something like Columbo or Kojak. He would be the lead character and he would be so cool.

I would definitely have been tuning in.

though i don't watch them any more i could see Freddie as a sexy,steamy love interest in a soap opera.
or a dramady where he plays a cherecter similar to himeslf that made some bad choices but got things turned around and now runs a boys/girls club where he is the kids' guardian,mentor.
he helps them make it through the tough times and they all together help other people and the community

I could see him as the new neighbor on Everybody Loves Raymond,and all the women swoon over him. What a stretch huh?

Joy · 04-02-2002, 05:21 PM

That would be good anna.Raymond's brother Robert could bug him for tips on how to woo the ladies

Although I never watched or cared much for the show, I can see him as one of the hunks on "Miami Vice" that was popular 15 years ago.
He would have been in his early 30's and probably at his most gorgeous (if that's possible)
