Fortunately, that boosted up the ratings and the Fellowship were able to catch an episode on a palantir (because they only show the finest albeit most violent programming). So they set off to get the Ring back.

Unfortunately, our world (jet airplanes et al) and the fantasy world of Middle-earth completely separated just as mysteriously as they had merged. The One Ring was assigned a new position in space by a rather embarrassed Eru, and the Fellowship, Ringwraiths and Gollum were all utterly confused and bewildered by the loss of the Ring. Sauron wasn't too chuffed either.

Fortunately, Sam had packed a spare for just this sort of occasion.

Unfortunately, Galadriel had just leased it out to him, and was missing it terribly so she traded it for a box of dirt (Not just ANY dirt mind you, elven dirt!!!)

And fortunately Sam, being a brilliant gardener, was
able to use mulch, manure, etc. to make a mountain
of semi-elvish dirt from the little bit of magic soil
he got from Galadriel in return for the ring.
Thereby amassing a huge fortune
(Rosie being a brilliant entrepreneur,
opening a chain of SamRos Supersoil Stores).

Unfortunately, the company went into liquidation after Sam was seen dancing insanely after drinking some of the Gaffer's home brew and sam had to sell the ring off.

Fortunately the Kay Jewelers rep. who bought it ran into Gandalf at the pub the next town over and was advised to "Give that here. Now."
