        Better Call Saul and the Opportunity for More Spin-Off Series

        With Better Call Saul wrapping up its first series to critical acclaim and already being confirmed for a second, it's clear to everyone that spin-off series are starting to become popular once more. With the Walking Dead already working one, what other favourite series would you like to see receive the spin-off treatment? You could analyse why Better Call Saul was a success, in its differences and similarities to Breaking Bad and suggest potential other series from TV's current crop. For an added bit of fun, you could also talk about ones you'd have to loved to have seen in the past that may have just missed the boat.

        • I love Breaking Bad, but I have never seen Better Call Saul. I hear that it is really good, and would love to read an article about the show. – Amanda 9 years ago

        • How I Met Your Mother had a cancelled pilot for How I Met Your Dad and apparently news just broke that Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D is getting a spin off. Also Arrow is getting another spinoff adding to the DC universe on TV- this is as well as the animated series Vixen which also ties into this universe. – Tyler McPherson 9 years ago

        Where Next for Louis Theroux?

        After his recently aired new documentaries about criminals pleading insanity and transgender kids, what area should Louis investigate next? After a shift in style over the last couple of years to more serious documentaries, do you want to see him continue in that vein? Or revert slightly? What areas do you think could be interesting for him to explore? Or do you think a return to a subject, like he did with the Westboro Baptist Church would be more interesting?

          The Conflicts of Directors and Production Companies

          With Twin Peak's 2016 revival currently hanging in the balance following David Lynch's decision to leave contract negotiations, just how difficult is it for Directors to protect their creative vision against reservations of financial implications ?

          • Another example is that movie studious were reluctant to let Steven Spielberg make Lincoln. Steven Spielberg, the guy who has made some of the most greatest and iconic film of all time is having a hard time getting a movie made, now a days. Thats sad to thing about. – Aaron Hatch 9 years ago

          • It would be interesting to discuss the rise of comic book movies, Marvel's relationship with their directors compared to those of Fox and Sony (spider-man etc.). – Thomas Munday 9 years ago

          • It could be a greed thing, and perhaps a more complex concept that involves politics, money, and public imaging. It would be nice to see something new and original, but if it's too "risky" and won't guarantee any cash, they're not going to make a film. – Travis Kane 9 years ago

          Jane The Virgin and Other Series That Have Transcended Their Restrictive Titles

          Having only seen a handful of episodes and being acutely aware of the critical adulation it has received from many sources, Jane The Virgin is a much better show than any show called Jane The Virgin had any right to be. It got me thinking of more shows that had restrictive names and ended up being much better than their titles would have suggested, another example that came to mind was last years Trophy Wife and Bill Lawrence's Scrubs follow up Cougar Town, which even wanted to change its name in Season 3. Also for a little fun aside, you could have a brief look at shows that didn't transcend their titles and were just bad all round like Baby Daddy and Gary Unmarried.

          • This could become a kind of "How to" op-ed piece about how to create a cracking Fall season show. – Thomas Munday 9 years ago

          Life After Reality

          There have been a number of ' where are they now ' type articles about reality shows stars that focus on the careers (or not) of reality show contestants like American Idol or America's Next Top Model. Did their careers succeed, etc. A more interesting question would be to look at a wide cross-section of reality show participants from many different kinds of shows and ask how the experience affected their lives in a broader sense. Are they comfortable in the long run with the exposure? How did the process of filming disrupt their lives? What (if any) were the long-term consequences of being on tv? What would they change or do over? A good version of this article will require sorting through published interviews, but would be even better with original interviews if they could be obtained.

          • Cool article, you could focus on exploring the varying types of reality TV shows (cooking, acting, modeling etc.) and how their contestants could move further into their respected industries. – Thomas Munday 9 years ago

          • Usually those shows are obsessed with people who chased fame relentlessly, whether through talent shows like X Factor or American Idol or through a pop act that never quite lasted, but it would definitely be far more interesting to talk to the ones who fame was sort of just a by-product. In England we have shows like The Great British Bake Off and The Apprentice where by and large, people partake not to get famous but to have fun or secure a job and an article that is more interested in that side of accidental fame would definitely be one I'd read with interest. – Marcus Dean 9 years ago

          • I think you also might want to consider the fact that a lot of reality show contestants or stars end up getting a reality show dedicated to just themselves. What sparked that show? Why did they end up going from one show to the other? Did they get adjusted to a certain lifestyle? Did they just want fame? You also might want to consider that people like "Honey Boo Boo's" mother supposedly had the young girl on her own show so she could put money away for her college fund. – rzalmonds 9 years ago
