Listen, this is no set of rules. I'm not tellin' you what to do, all I'm saying is I'm bringin' up three things that are, like, so important to the whole world, I don't happen to find much importance in.

This is a li'l toy I made a while back to share on, I think, the Forge forums, and I thought I'd share it with the Geekdo folks...

Just keep hitting "refresh" until you've found your perfect series idea! It's good for a laugh, and every once in a while, it comes up with a combination that makes you step back and go, "Y'know, that would be a cool idea for a TV show!"

If you've got other movies/TV shows you'd like to see added to the mix, post 'em here and I'll throw 'em on the pile!

Well worth a chuckle, or a "Hmmmm" .

"The Shield" crossed with "Thelma & Louise" was one it showed . . . that's a scary thought!

On my first roll I scored "Highway to Heaven" meets "Alien".

Woah. Now all I need is to get my hands on a copy of Primetime Adventures...

Oh, and I love the "in space" tag. I'd like to see a couple more of those, like "...in the 1960s!", "...in the Old West!" or even "...but with British accents!" It reminds me a lot of The Big Idea in a truly excellent way.

"Felicity" meets "The Bridge Over The River Kwai"...

Holmes? We gotta make this happen. Even if it's just a one-shot.

It's like "Life on Mars" meets "The Shining"!

... because it's a genuinely cool idea.

It's like "How I Met Your Mother" meets "All Quiet on The Western Front"!

...because most sit coms need a trench.

Wow! I created this one originally, but other people added to it over time. laugh Yeah, you can get a few stinkers, because it's not that smart. That's why you get 10 to a page.
