ArkhamGlobe 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 Yeah, Caprice is good, but I think he should have a longer first name. Alexander? Wilhelm? Anthony? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArkhamGlobe 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 I was thinking that TJ's wife got murdered by Diablos or Tyron, which is why he holds a grudge. As for Caprice, he should be an aged playboy who's never settled down. Perhaps he could be making moves on Lola, making The Dark Prince jealous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 TJ's wife should have been murdered by an underling, whom TJ kills in his debut episode... but then gets a taste of the power and works his wa up the system in hopes of bringing it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Back again for the Monday Tradition. I've come up with a pseudocom (you know, kinda like a dramady but a little funnier) called Lost Profit. It's about the group of people who work behind the scenes at those Evangelist shows. It's in the tradition of Larry Sanders, Sports Night, etc. and meets Leap of Faith, Benny Hinn... Characters: Paul Lyte - brought over by the parent corporation "LLG" - a major media firm - from their hollywood division, Paul is in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly and profitably. Simply put, he doesn't want to be there and sees this as a temporary thing. He got caught possessing drugs by the police, served a few months jail time, and is on thin ice with his bosses. He hopes that in a few months they will see he has suffered enough and bring him back into the fold. He, of course, is an atheist. Played by Nathan Fillion. Mary St. John - a deeply religious gal who is naive to the seedy-side of the Evangalism game. She is head of Public Relations so that whenever Pastor Mike gets drunk or ends up with a dead hooker in his trunk, she can say "it was the holy ghost" or "he was trying to save her" so he doesn't look bad. And since she doesn't know any better, it comes off sounding like the truth. Played by Molly Parker. Pastor Michael G. Miracle III - real name: Peter Buckswithe Jr. Former lead singer for The Who (for a day), used car salesman, and (has yet to be confirmed) Male Escort. A Charismatic Evangelist, "Pastor Mike" is the face of "Miracle Ministries", a travelling Evangelism show that goes town-to-town spreading the word of god and healing the sick and injured. He is an Alcoholic, womanizer, bigot and hypocrite, but believes that he truly is a vessel for gods good word. Played by Stacy Keach. Martin James - webmaster of www.MiracleMinistries.com, he makes sure the good word is spread over cyberspace. He takes interviews, digital photographs, and some video stuff too. He doesn't like Pastor Mike, so he also runs the anti-MM.com site. Played by Jason Weaver. ... I'm looking for 3 or 4 more characters to add. I'm thinking there's Pauls personal assistant, Pastor Mikes mic man, and some other people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArkhamGlobe 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 You should probably add a boss from LLG for Paul to converse with at times. He could be played by Robert Goulet. Perhaps you could also bring in a pissed off ex-wife of pastor Mike later on, or perhaps an illegitimate child? That could be interesting. As for Paul's assistant, one could go two different directions; either with a toadying suck-up or some laconic überprofessional who's not too happy to be working with Paul.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Devin Bishop-Minister Mike's mic man, has a quite the relationship with the minister due to his being African American and the minister being a bigot. Was hired to quell the rumors (fact?) that Mike is a bigot. Will throw out the occasional zinger, or purposely feed Mike bad info in order to get back at the minister. Played by Orlando Jones.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 BRILLIANT~! Orlando Jones in that role = ratings. *smacks head* I forgot all about the illegitimate child whom Pastor Mike keeps employed to hush up his former mistress! His name will be Gregory Deville and he will be played by ... RIDER STRONG~! of Boy Meets World fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Maybe have Bishop also be the guy who collects the information from the audience members at the televised healing cermonies. You could have him interacting with all the nutjobs that attend those events. That's exactly it... Pastor Mike: Now, now... Brother Bishop, tell me, TELL ME, who is this young lady right here? Bishop: This right here is Mrs. Clementine Sweet, she's 94 years young today Pastor Mike. Pastor Mike: 94 YEARS YOUNG! Oh my! And why is she here toDAY Brother Bishop? Bishop: Well Pastor Mike, it's the athritis.. it's in her knees and she can't walk because of it... instead, she has to be wheeled around in this chair all day... Pastor Mike: Ah.. I see... well then... I ask again.. why is she here? Why are you here mam? *Bishop puts the mic down to her* Lady: I'm here to have Jesus heal me. Bishop: SHE'S HERE TO HAVE JESUS HEAL HER! *crowd pops* Pastor Mike: OOOOH JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JEEEESUS... he heals all who ask for him to heal them. Why, he healed me... yes... he healed me. Bishop: Oh, not you Pastor Mike... Pastor Mike: Oh yes, yes he did... you see, I once was much like you young mrs. Sweet. Except it wasn't the arthritis that had me down... oh no.. no no no... it was TEMPTATION! Bishop: Oh lord! TEMPTATION! Pastor Mike: YES! YES! YES! TEMPT-TATION~! And it had me by the throat, and it had me on my knees, and I was about to fall completely into the ground and into HELL! With SATAN! And it was at that moment that I looked up into the sky and said "SAVE ME! SAVE ME LORD JESUS!" and then temptation was gone and all that was left was Jesus, and the power of god, and I rose up and I was at peace... AMEN~! Bishop: AMEN! AMEN TO THAT FATHER! Pastor Mike: Stand her up Brother Bishop, stand her up. *stands lady up* Pastor Mike: You see, both of us had the devil inside of us.. the devil was in me and it was temptation, and the devil is inside of you and it's down to the bone! So, you must do what I did and give yourself completely over to the lord and accept jesus into your heart and in that moment you will see that... *pause* you will see that *pause* Bishop: What is it Pastor Mike? What's wrong? Pastor Mike: YOU WILL SEE THAT THE LORD IS INSIDE OF YOU! FIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!! *Pastor Mike throws his hand up to the lady's head and she falls back and everyone cheers* Pastor Mike: Amen. Bishop: Amen. Crowd: Amen. *Lady gets dragged away and ignored for a while* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Bishop should also speak to the audience members looking to be healed individually before the show. That is how these things really work. A guy (or group of people) ask the audience members question. The answers are then fed to the Pastor. I think it would be funny to see Bishop getting inundated with ridiculous requests and comments from these fanatics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2004 Indeed. Like, put an attractive women in the audience. She catches the pastor's eye, and he goes over to her and starts doing his schtick, until Devin (knowing what Mike is up to) feeds him that "she's here in hopes of having her herpes cured" or something like that. Cut to Mike's jaw dropping and slowly backing away from her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He mumbles something as he turns over from his side to his back.* Paul: "Yeah baby... yeah... *yawn*.. was it good for you too?". *The camera shifts over to see a giant foam crucifix with a cartoonish expression on it's face (large ballish eyes, big eye lashes, no nose, big mouth), pearls around the cross-section (indicating that it is female) and a blanket covering half.* Cross: "Yeah sweetpea, it's all good, you tha man" Paul: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2004 Here's what I'm thinkin... A buddy-cop show, but this is set in the 80's and modelled after all those 80's buddy cop movies (48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, Turner and Hooch, Red Heat, Police Academy to-an-extent etc. etc.). This is just in the formative stages, I don't really have any ideas other than "Buddy Cop Show" and "Set in the 1980's, ripping off movies like.." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
