Shiny!
Here's to the greedy bastage moving to Vegas and opening a private detective firm with Jim Wright and Dan Rostenkowski. Now THAT would be a tee-vee show I would make an appointment to watch. (The key, of course, would be to get Abe Vigoda to play Jim Wright and the guy who played Rick on Magnum to play DeLay. The hard part would be Rosty---you'd have to get the ghost of Walter Matthau).
Posted by Steve at April 4, 2006 01:54 PM | TrackBackI'm thinking CSI:Houston. Delay as the Gil Grissom/Caruso/Sinise head CSI, and with former mayor Henry Cisneros joining the cast as one of the lab guys. Rosty is the tough-talking homicide detective with a heart -- and a slush fund -- of gold. And a daughter who's a hooker.
First episode involves some Mexican decomps found locked in an abandoned van in a canyon near the border -- the timeline on their decomposition solved, as always, by the reproduction cycle of bugs. Like Gil Grissom, Delay (a former exterminator) knows all about bugs.
Good selection, just get Al Sharpton to fill the Rosty role. Perfect!
