I'd laugh, but then I think to the first season of "Enterprise", when they kept finding reasons to get the crew in the "decontamination rubdown" chamber, where they stripped down to their skivvies and rubbed decontaminant on each other like some Playboy video. And of course, there was Seven of Nine in the skintight suits and high heels...
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Daryle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So it looks like what you WANT to do is produce a series of Sci Fi original movies, because THAT fund never dries up and you're obviously not held to a standard of, oh, I don't know...being any good. Companies are trying to deliver hour-long series to Skiffy/USA, and it ain't working. And so I begin my pitch of "Topless Wealthy Soccer Wives", which will actually be about a group of Black folks who run a Shaolin style monastery in the hood, and go out battling evil with various styles of kung fu mastery and mysticism. But it will STAR Chase Masterson, and the promo image for the show will be of Chase in a metallic sports bra. And since Skiffy suits obviously only watch the first 3 minutes of anything they put on air, the first 3 minutes of every 2 hour episode (I will produce 12 2 hour episodes, 11 disguised as "sequels") will show Chase being doused in water from a huge bucket. You are all welcome to do walk on roles, and if you have any children under 12, we will get Skiffy to pay for their college by crediting them as "special effects" staff.
