TIME TO PLAY..."MAD MEN" SPIN-OFFS!"

I can hear it now--Sal Romano starts a new life as the owner-manager of an art gallery in Sausalito. All goes well till his new housemate gets a new job...as a homicide detective. Laughs ensue a crooks and murderers are lured into Sals gallery! Andy Dick, as "Andy" the housemate.

Or: "I'm the Queen of France" starring, Bettes! Our number one whacko housewife/divorcee snaps completely in the farcical adventure through Europe, that has Bettes telling everyone she's Eleanor of Acquitaine! Laughs ensue as Bettes meets another psycho who believes he's Henry II!!! Herbert Marshall as the ersatz Henry II. Anne B. Davis as Bettes chambermaid.

Or, "Rumsen, P.I." -- Failed ad exec Fred Rumsen begins anew as a private Dick in Guadalajara during the Revolution. It's laughs galore as a zany group of misfits try to help Rumsen solve crimes! Zazu Pitts, Phil Silvers, James Gleason, and Monty Woolley, as the Chief Inspector.

I have never read anything so clever. You two should get together with Polar Bear and take over the universe, unless you are already one and the same!

Sandy,

Thank you soooo much for your "mature" point of view. I'm sure that the "facility" offers you a lot of opportunities to express YOUR humor which must be so superior that it gives you the right to slam others! How wonderfully lucky we are to have a woman of such "experience," to share her thoughts with us.

I, for one, feel blessed.

NYCguy.

PS - New Show Idea: "Sandy Breaks Out!"- Starring Bea Arthur. (oh, she's dead. Perfect!) Sandy, everyone's favorite curmudgeon, breaks out of her nursing home to experience celebrity and fame from a world that just can't LIVE without her pretentious, self-congratulatory criticisms.

Um, NYCGuy. Sandy was being sincere in her praise. She appreciates a wicked and brilliant mind, as do most of us here.

Ken meets a beautiful blonde named Samantha and goes over to work for McMann Tate.

Paul Kinsey gets offered account work at DDA, working with Michael and Elliot, whose wives are Hope and Nancy. They're all thirtysomething.

We find Sal doing photography work for Blush Magazine and sparring with Nina VanHorne and Dennis Finch. He often thinks "Just Shoot Me!"

NYCGuy: Sandy is as sweet as can be and never criticizes anyone. You should apologize to her, big time!

Oy!

Sandy,

How can I express how sorry I am for misunderstanding your praise?

May I now, in front of all the Mad Men looney's offer my sincerest apologies and regrets.

I will be more careful in the future.

Thank you.

NYCguy.

(I suggest you be more careful as well).

I can see it now, Joan's Drawer, its a show about a professional woman who gets tired of the 9 to 5 and feels she can best help her fellow women by providing them with the best in womens lingerie and advice. At Joan's Drawer, she will fit you in a bra and panty set, or a teddy for that special occasion along with hose and heels. In addition to boudoir fashions she carries a complete selection to outfit the working girl. Joan, becomes known for her insight into how to deal with men and writes an advice column for the Times called WWJD, What Would Joan Do!

Pete's Place, its a town filled with folks with passive aggressive disorder. They dont have the stomach to do anything about anything until they are backed in a corner, then they over do everything. This show becomes an instant hit with americans as they cant do anything until they are provoked, and then only just before they are beaten. The story begins when one neighbor takes advantage of the neighbors sexy young au pair and the father doesnt know how to handle the situation. Drama insues when she becomes pregnant and the neighbors wife suspect the father. If you love a good power struggle coupled with violence this show is for you!
