The Eye If you could makeTV programmes related to Middle Earth?....

if you could make tv programmes related to ME what would they be?

would you make a holiday programme with ME destinations or would you make spoof tv programmes eg 24 starring Legolas Greenleaf... or instead of 'Friends'- Fellowship- the story of 9 friends....

your ideas please [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm counting down to the Two Towers!
And that's a pretty good question, 'cause I really don't know! I'm a TV freak, so you'd think I'd know about that sort of thing! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] But your Friends idea wasn't too bad. . . though some people might think you'd run out of story too quickly. But I don't! You COULD elaborate on what Tolkien wrote, just as long as you don't besmirch him in the process!

Anywhoo, this one doesn't make any sense, but I keep thinking of it:

"Merry in the Middle-earth" (Malcolm in the Middle).

You would have Bilbo Baggins and Lobelia Sackville Baggins (Hal and Lois) and the four young hobbits, Frodo (Francis) Sam (Reese) Merry (Malcolm) and Pippin (Dewey).

The only problem is that though the age order is right for the hobbits, none of the personailites match up right. Sigh.

I loved Alf when I was young. How about the same basic show, but instead of Alf- Gollum!!
And it would also fit Gollum's personality when he always tries to eat Lucky, the cat.

Or how about a show featuring Legolas and Gimli as roomates.

Or maybe, Eowyn, Warrior Princess.

Or how about this advertisement.
"See the show that's got everyone talking, even the dead. Crossing Over, with Sauron. Talk to wraiths and ghosts from beyond the grave with the baddest Maia on the planet, every night, tune to ABC on your palantir."

I could quite imagine Pippin as that little kid! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I think Merry would be better as Francis, and Frodo as Malcolm, though then the name wouldnt fit. Never mind...

How about Frodo, Sam and Pippin as the Powerpuff Girls? Aragorn would be so good as the professor!

Coming to Fox this May...


Legolas: You guyyyyyyyyyyys! Somebody used the last of my shampooooo!

Gimli: Quit whinin' yeh bloody elf!

Legolas: That's... not nice... *pouts*

NINE MEMBERS


Boromir: Come on, Frodie, lemme see the ring!

Frodo: You stay away or I'll take your immortality sign away!

Boromir: Just let me see it...

ONE MISSION


Aragorn: Where's the ketchup?

NO KETCHUP

Arwen: I just know Aragorn will be faithful. I mean, we've known each other for a while, and I gave up my immortality for him- no, I mean my actual immortality. He better be greatful.

Éowyn: They locked me in this room with Aragorn. You never know what will happen. All I can say is that little Elf ***** better watch her back or she'll be getting it full throttle!

GIRL ON GIRL FULL THROTTLE

Legolas: I knew it would be hard living with so many people in such a small amount of space, but I had no idea how dirty everyone else's hair would be... I mean, if they want to survive they could at least wash their hair... and... feet, ugh.

HE DOESN'T LIKE DIRT

Sam: This morning we had another challenge. Then a lot of girls in bikinis came over and tried to seduce us. I was told something about having to sing in the finals tomorrow. I tell you, this reality television has to stop!

THE RULES DON'T MAKE SENSE...

Pippin: It was hard goin' without Merry... but I've been making a lot of new friends. And tomorrow, we go challenge the cast of Road Rules. Elrond better watch his back!

THE FIGHTS ARE PREDICTABLE:

Aragorn: I am the rightful king of Gondor!

Legolas: You owe him your allegience! And taxes!

Boromir: You can't make me pay taxes! Never!

Frodo: Come on, this is the tenth time you've had this conversation!

Boromir: Can it, midget!

Sam: He's not a midget you scum!

Merry: Don't call him scum!

THE SHOW GETS BORING...

Pippin: Let me get this straight. I go out with 20 women, then get to pick who I want to marry?

ONE OF THEM IS GAY...

Aragorn: "Who wants to marry the heir of Isildur"? But I don't want to get married!

Legolas: I know everybody thinks it's me, but it's not... I mean

Merry: Quit hogging the camera, elf!

IN A BRAND NEW POINTLESS REALITY SHOW...

LEGOLAS. MERRY. PIPPIN. FRODO. SAM. BOROMIR. GIMLI. ARAGORN.

AND...

Boromir: Oh my god! When I went in to take my bath, Gandalf was in their showering... all these wrinkles and freckles and that hair...

Legolas: Gray hair clogging my drain!

GANDALF.

LORD OF THE SURVIVING BIG BROTHERS IN TEMPTATION ISLAND THAT MARRY A MILLIONAIRE BACHELOR FROM AMERICAN IDOL

COMING THIS MAY, DON'T MISS IT!

Orc # 25: I just feel like nobody understands me...

That was hilarious, Nari! LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes, I would love to see what would happen if the fellowship were on reality TV.
I can just see all the girls sucking up to Legolas, then having their hearts broken on "The Bachelor." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I actually wrote a pilot episode of a Middle-earth spoof of 'The Osbournes' over the Christmas holidays when I was bored. It was based around Aragorn, Arwen and their kids (Eldarion and a few daughters I don't think we learn the names of). Now that would be quite funny, non?"

Legolas Bachelor *wickedly evil grin*

Let's meet our contestants:

Nizhkanaz Bloody-fisted- This young woman is a hip young Orc from Moria. Backed by Flaming Demon records, she recorded her first album, 'Drums in the Deep.' when only twenty. She enjoys screeching and eating man-flesh.

Eluiala Laurelin- This lovely young elf hails from Mirkwood, and her talents include archery, horsemanship, singing, dancing, nancing, quoting mysterious and random euphomisms while nancing, looking mysterious and fiesty while nancing, and tracing her bloodlines to every canon character in the book. Her hobbies include wielding her ring of power, Lilybuttercup, helping the orphans in Harad, and seducing Legolas.

Marigold Prescott: This lovely young hobbit is fresh from her tweens and a prominent baker in hobbiton. As a child she was aclaimed as the 'cute gasping hobbit child.' Her talents include cooking, eating, and being undeniably hobbitish.

Vanessa Brandon: A twenty five year woman from this universe who 'really just wants to find the right guy' and thinks that 'this might just be it.' Her only assets to the show are her inane stupidity and barbieness which makes us all laugh. And its so funny to see Nizhkanaz eating her hair extentions.

Also, on Relality TV Middle Earth, coming this June...

VC: I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!

A camera pans around in zooms in on various faces. Unfortunately we must note that Thingol, Barliman Butterbur, Goldberry, Melian, Brandir the Lame, Drogo Baggins, Aerin, and Pallando aren't really that big of celebrities Nope nope.

Varda: Hi everyone, and welcome to "Becoming"! Today we“re gonna turn one lucky Istari into Gandalf the white. And the choice fell on... Mithrandir, 18 years, from Middle-Earth. Let“s go take a visit!

MITHRANDIRS BEDROOM
V: Hello
M: Balrog, if that“s you, get your stinking self out of my bedroom.
V: Hello...this is VTV (Valinor TV)...and you“re becoming Gandalf the White!
M: What? Oh my... I feel so honoured... *cries*

To be continued....


Some more good ones:
Becoming Gollum
Becoming Sharkey
