If you had to present a pitch to a TV network for a series about Asheville, what would it be? Would you go with a reality TV series about the trials and tribulations of a group of hippies, yuppies, Trustafarians, NIMBY locals and hipsters all forced to live in a crowded downtown condo together? Or would you go the sitcom route? Or police drama?

Let’s hear some ideas!

i am currently developing a teevee reality/talk show based on these very Forums and the conversations therein.

It’d just be me following people around with a megaphone like early Tom Green.

David Attenborough presents “The Life of Mumpower.” It’s an in-depth zoological examination of all of Carl Mumpower’s daily life and his role in the context of the greater ecosystem. A six-part series, each episode featuring a different aspect of this fascinating subject, all shot in hi-def for the eventual IMAX release. If it does well enough, “Peck Planet” will be the follow-up project.

I think you might be onto something. It definitely has potential. Is there any way you could incorporate a big climax in which Stewart David gets eaten by travelah in a bear suit?

TV networks are dead.

Internet killed the TV star.

Only if he lectures the travelbear about the moral failures of all carnivores and omnivores, and then compares himself to Jesus again.

agreed on the first one, by far. the second i may agree with, but its a matter of degrees. the nun is mildly entertaining at times, but stewart is a self-righteous idiot with a handful of half-truths a typical western jesus complex.

How about a show set at the Grove Park? I don’t know, maybe the long-standing lounge act singer there discovers that she has two pre-teen boys that she didn’t know about or something and they move in with her at the GPI and cause all sorts of havoc and have zany antics and madcap mayhem! There could be a character who is an heir to the Grove Estate and super attractive concierge or something, plus a stuffy-yet-secretly-has-a-heart-of-gold General Manager who tries each episode to head off the boys’ plans, yet in the end joins in the fun or, at least, comes to understand what the boys were up to.

It could be a blast!

Perfect, just replace the GPI with City Council, “long-standing lounge act singer” with Terry Bellamy, “two pre-teen boys” with Brownie Newman and Gordon Smith, and “stuffy-yet-secretly-has-a-heart-of-gold General Manager” with Carl Mumpower and you got a show!
