Re:Convention Geeks on TV?

I had an idea for a show some time ago called “Typecast” starring William Shatner and Adam West as two actors trying to put a show together but being stymied at every turn by fans of their former roles. Each guest star for the week could inspire a story based on the cult show they had been on.

Mostly improv with those two, mind you. It would be more hilarious than anything a writer beaten down by standards could come up with.

I think it would be nice to have an episode in which Patrick McGoohan guest stars as the Director of an actor’s retreat where they are doing all those horrible workshops on how to pretend to Be the Tree, and Shatner and West keep trying to escape. It could be called “Hotel California”, and all the tea would be Long Island Iced Tea so they would get more and more wasted until they think they meet themselves, then they each wake up at home and find a note saying they weren’t Hotel California material. . 😉

Wayne Alexander could show up in another episode called “Eyes without a Face” and just as you thought you were going to see his real face, something would pass by the screen. Or he’d have a different face on every time. [size=9](*Yes, I know Sebastian was his real face, but most of his B5 roles weren’t.)[/size]
