Supernatural...on HBO?

[big_pink]

I swear to god, one day soon, I'll post chapter four of the fic, but in the meantime (seriously, I'm working on it), IN THE MEANTIME, I have a diversion (don't I always? I'm like the pusher in the high school parking lot). I was having a discussion with catdancerz about what Supernatural would look like if it was an HBO product instead of a CW one, and we

I'd be thrilled to see Teenchesters on Nickelodeon (sandwiched between Drake & Josh and Spongebob, perhaps) as it would be adorable to see what happens when Dean has to break a date with the cute drummer in the best rock band in the new town they're living in, so he can help Dad and his little brother deal with a poltergeist that's making a mess of the theater where the talent contest is happening that night! Or (plot gacked from an actual D&J ep) Sam and Dean both get a job at the movie theater. Sam does a bunch of work, but Dean slacks off and gets all the credit. When Dean becomes Sam's boss, Sam is fed up, because he was doing all of Dean's work for him.

Or a Dora the Explorer-style show on Nick Jr or The Disney Channel, where the brothers have to team up and find three things and rescue one creature/person/anthropomorphized item in each 24 minute episode - and there's at least one song per ep, too! The one where they go past the Troll Bridge (and tie up the Grumpy Old Troll for Daddy to Deal With later), then over the Crocodile Swamp (where they sedate each croc via tranq darts) and around (never through!) the Vampire Nest to bring the Charm of Smiling Goodness back to the Tree of Happiness is a favorite among children 18 months to five years.

You guys are killing me here. I'd like to see Dean pump rocksalt into the singing knapsack after about the third time it burst into song. Dora: Just say 'Swiper, no swiping!" Dean: blama-ty-blam-blam!!!

Actually, that might work quite well on Bela, too.

ETA: I do realize that Swiper and the Knapsack are two different entities in Doraland. I do. I get the shivers imagining the boys on Zoe 101. They could do some serious damage there, too.

Like show up 10 years later so Dean can do some maths and wonder if he's the one who knocked up the lead.

Erm. I can't write that any way that doesn't sound like a bizarre mixture of real and fictional, and it's making my head spin already, and not in a good way.

And that would work well on Bela! If we say it three times, she'll say, "Oh, man!" and walk off in a huff.

But a Weechesters+Dora show would have more Latin than Spanish. Hey, a Weechesters cartoon for the ickle set would be a great way to teach kids how to avoid Scary Creatures and the intricate facets of Latin. Of course, a Schoolhouse Rock version of the standard exorcism would also be handy in the SPN-verse, at least as useful as memorizing the Preamble of the Constitution was for me back in the 70s.

I probably shouldn't tell you that I'm going to drive past the real Miami Ink store tomorrow en route to seeing Jamie Oliver at Jungle Island for a presentation on kids and eating healthy foods, and then going over to Big Pink restaurant for a salad and a giant chocolate chip cookie...

There is no way to make that Zoe 101 joke in any way palatable (and believe me, my children know that I keep trying!!! Nitgirl: Mummy, could you please stop rolling your eyes and making hacking noises everytime Jamie-Lynn comes on screen? Chas: Mum, the teacher says that word you used when Zoe came on is a bad word and that I shouldn't use it.)

Next time Bela's on screen, I'm officially yelling Swiper, no swiping. Three times. And then poof! She will go away in a sulk.

As for all that other fantasy stuff that happens to you in the fantasy land that is Florida? *waves hands around vaguely* Yeah, whatever. I'm totally trying not to hate you too much as I battle snow and go to a neighbour's daughter's BRIDAL SHOWER.

(on a separate note: Why were bridal showers not banned years ago along with witch burnings? It seems reasonable and perhaps not unrelated).

Sweet! That would so rock.
