LMAO...I knew I could count on you all to come up with some good ideas!

Fib, no need for it to be sitcom...right after I posted, I knew I should have just said, Mudcat..the TV Show.:-)Right now, we watch so much BBC America, that I think I'd do a better job of writing dialogue for what you've described, than any of the others, yeah? LOL

Gnu, now that my old dog has been gone for a couple of years, you can have the moose part, but just know you are carrying on a great tradition. He was half Dobie/half Shephard/Alsatian and looked exactly like that moose...gangly, mangy, huge ears...there is a black and white of his face on my Photoloft Page in the Mudcatter's Photo Album linked through the Mudcat FAQs Permathread.

So...opening scenes, anyone? Episode storylines? Oh, the othr thing I was thinking, which may not be that farfetched and which someone else has mentioned...we sell it as a Reality Show...Survivors of Paltalk could be one of the subplots...who stayed up the latest in the UK to meet those in Oz for song sharing...then cut to the NYCFTTS for a live vignette ala Cuckoo's Nest where Mash meets Northern Exposure...to UK pagans tramping through the woods to sing up the sun over Stonehenge...to Max shuts down the bar under Mudcat Central...broadcasting live for a straight 24 hours with Bert hanging in there..all the while we've got Our Brothers and Sisters to the North looking for the Northwest Passage and happening up on Skarpi (I know technically it's the other way, but it's not that real) who is tracking down an old Irish ditty up north among the Laplanders...and our Brother to the South, Andres/Escamillo leads a team of toreadors bullfight protest songs (he doesn't like them, he said)....well...you get the drift, yeah?
