I always wished Carrie had been adapted into a primetime teen soap. If you take everything that happens up until the prom tragedy, some really, really soapy sh!t was set up. Sue feels bad for picking on Carrie, so she insists her boyfriend Tommy take her to the prom. Tommy is reluctant, but he ends up enjoying the prom with Carrie, so much so that maybe he starts to have feelings for ol' Carrie White, and Carrie has feelings for him, and Sue is left wondering WTF. Then you have Chris, who was quite clearly a slut, and you also have Carrie's mom, who still had unfinished business with Carrie's dad. All the while, the telekinesis would play a small part through the series.

Give The CW a few more years, and then trust me: Carrie: the Series will happen. :)

Gone With the Wind

Boys in the Band (albeit a horribly cast cheapie burned off on Logo)

The threat of LoGo aside, I wish some cable network would do a sort of gay, male version of "Sex and the City," but only as long as their characters represented more than one aspect of the gay spectrum ( which is why I don't count "Queer as Folk" as a series fitting that bill).

LOST, without Kate...lol Some viewers did considered LOST a prime time soap because of the Jack/Sawyer/Kate triangle.

Am I the only one who thought Sawyer and Jack had the best chemistry?

Maybe "Roots" because they never did a soap that took place in the past. They did DS, which was supernatural. EON, which was supposed to be the first Perry Mason adaption for Television, was mainly crime drama. Why not have a Soap that took place in the past.

Another good one would be "All quiet on the Western Front" were they could emphasis on families during WWI.

I think Civil War era would work perfectly as a soap. Especially if the the soap have past and present playing off each other. Of course, groups like the NAACP probably wouldn't agree with me (I'm black, BTW.)

I know they get offended by things too easily. Get over it, NAACP!

I'd be fine with that, as long as Tyler Perry's appearances as Madea were kept to a bare minimum. Anytime he, or the guy who portrays Brown, shows up, it always ruins the mood for me.

I agree, two appearances a year would be fine from each, they could be the Doug and Julie for the show. I had made out a castlist a few years ago for a madea family soap.

L.A. Confidential. But instead of it focusing on 3 cops in the 1950's, I'd have it be something more current and focusing on the personal/professional lives of 6 cops instead. The men battle crime and corruption while their personal lives, for better or for worse, also becomes intertwined with each other.
