REVERSE I SURRENDER MEME

- YOU: comment to this post with a TV show concept. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...) Be as detailed as you like.
- I: will create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them, and add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that I like.

Please give me some ideas? I'm in the mood. No more this round, apologies.
ar: Kay and Julius Eaton reading a manuscript. (ds9 - farverse reading)

Oh, this sounds fun!

All right, it's a Cheers-style comedy set in a bar...in a fantasy world. A regular cast of oddballs and the long-suffering bartender(s) come together to discuss their lives in [fantasyland], presumably skewering second-world fantasy tropes on occasion. Maybe there's some political satire, too, idk. There's at least one romance, and there's one or two characters the show is ostensibly "about," but everyone gets pretty equal billing. (Cheers, for example, had Sam and Diane for a couple and Sam as something approaching a "main" character.) The writing is sharp and funny, so even though it's made up mostly of bottle episodes, it never feels boring.

...And then Fox cancels it after four episodes, probably, but if you'd prefer, you can imagine it as a runaway hit. o/
