Working for her law firm Elle Woods has become a champion of the people very much like Erin Brockovich.

Because of her good looks and sunny outlook on life she is always underestimated by her legal opponents (much to their grief when she demolishes them every week with her expertise and logic.)

Bay City Blues centers on a Bay City, California minor league baseball team, the Bluebirds. Players varied from young hopefuls to once-great players who were sent to the minors before retirement. Storylines revolve around the players' lives, loves, and problems. Bay City Blues features an ensemble cast of regulars including a then-unknown Sharon Stone and Dennis Franz.

but "Mulholland Drive" was originally the pilot for a TV series.

I would totally watch that show.

And I would certainly at least buy the DVDs. That is one of my ten favorite movies of all time.

would be perfect for an episodic series. You could have a corpse of the week like Six Feet Under but with a comic twist and hookers.

Chuck Lumley (Henry Winkler): As we sit here and idly chat, there are woman, female human beings, rolling around in strange beds with strange men, and we are making money from that.
Bill Blazejowski (Michael Keaton): Is this a great country, or what?
