Are there any shows you would like to see the network television version of or a prestige television version of?

I've always wondered what it would be like to take a tv show like the West Wing and have a version of it on AMC/FX/Streaming Service/Premium cable.

On another note I'd like to see a water down version of Mr. Robot on network television. Ironically, the pilot could be used as the template. It would be a hacker that went around and did good deeds. In the pilot, Elliot alerts the authorities to the bad coffee shop owner.

I would love a prestige version of Law & Order that was more gritty like the original seasons, and tried to bring back the 'realism' (it was never realistic, but y'know what I mean).

Why the hell would you want to see a watered-down version of Mr Robot? I understand wanting to see network stuff upgraded but not the other way around.

That watered down shit makes for great entertainment while I have to do work or clean a room or something. There’s definitely a place for it.

So if you are not going to watch the show, why do you need a watered down version to do that?

Because if it’s too good of show all I’ll end up doing is watching the show and not get anything done. A procedural adds nice light-hearted ambiance to a room when you’re not in the mood for a podcast or music.

"The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd" with Blair Brown as the mother.

Oh, and "My Talk Show" with Jennifer Bass and her best friend Angela Davenport.

I would say "Homicide: Life on the Streets" but they already kind of did that with "The Wire".

The Newsroom is the premium cable version of The West Wing.

I would love to see a prestige TV version of Rings of Power. Rather than the CW offering we got on streaming.

That's the one. They must have needed $2B to do it right.
