If you could write for one episode of W&G, what would the basic plot be? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

If you haven’t given this any thought before, it’s a lot harder than you think. Believe me. Seems like almost everything under the sun has been done already. Sometimes two different shows or movies will come out with the same plot at approximately the same time ~ Has anyone seen the ads for "I Want to Marry Ryan Banks” and "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton"? They're almost the exact same story line. Even a plot that interesting was thought of by two different people at the same time (either that or one of them stole it from the other)

Here are the links to the two movies I was referring to: http://marryryanbanks.com = "I Want To Marry Ryan Banks", www.winadatewithtadhamilton.com = "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton"…. Read the plot lines on these and see if you don't think the writers were both hit on the head by the same apple.

That's easy for me.

I'd love to see a episode that involves a dream sequence or fantsasy with the characters playing complete opposite parts.

For example - the Will and Grace theme music comes on but the words "Jack and Karen" run accross the screen.

Showing Karen walk into her interior design office while Grace sits at her desk doing her nails and talking with the nasal voice. Jack in the suit as the lawyer giving the wisecracks while Will playing extra flamboyant makes fun of Jack's weight and shouts things like "JUST WILL!!!!" Something along those lines.

I know each cast member is perfectly suited to their parts, but I always thought that would be kind of fun to see.
