charliesmumMy husband totally likes the TV show idea I came up with, and we had an enjoyable time coming up with plot points. Husband said that the owner guy should have been the Bassist in the famous band, not the lead, and then we decided that the former lead will have gone on to have a wildy successful solo career, and is still famous now, causing bitter feelings in our hero. (Think Sting)
Husband also said, regarding the wildly talented son who doesn't want to be in show business, there could be times where he's playing his guitar while a Wall Street Journal or similar is on his music stand. And I added a younger daughter who really wants to be a singer, but the dad doesn't want her to, because he is super protective of her, and is afraid she'd wind up parading around half naked like Brittany Spears.
And the opening titles could be clips of videos from his heyday - parodies of some of the videos I remember from the 80's, which would be fun.
And finally, the title of the show will be the name of the store, and the name of the store is the name of the fictional band's most famous song. What it is, I don't know yet.
The pilot episode would have the former lead singer coming to town to do a big concert, and everyone is all excited and asking our hero if he will get them tickets, but he hasn't spoken toSting the guy in decades, and is really annoyed that people are so excited to see this guy, when they take him for granted. Lots of exposition can get out of the way here, I think.
So now all I have to do is write it, find someone in Hollywood who thinks it is brilliant, get it greenlighted, and I'm in. Easy, right?
