You could make the Prancing Pony an Inn/Whorehouse and show some gratuitous happenings there
Bombadil and Goldberry

And that's just off the top of my head. Give me a week and it will be ready for HBO.

I think you prove the point, albeit sarcastically, for never having any of Tolkien's work presented in a serialized format. Artistic integrity is never a priority when bosoms, buttocks and bollocks sell.
