HEY!, IT'S THAT GUY/GIRL: A question for the ThingThrowers (spurred partially by Felicia Day showing up on My Boys this week)--name a performer who you want to see anchoring their own TV show, especially someone who hasn't worked much in recent years, and pitch a show for them. I'll offer up one to get things started:
  • Sigourney Weaver--Women of Weaver's generation have had quite a bit of difficulty finding solid film roles of late, but there's been a lot of good work for them on TV--see, e.g., Sally Field, Holly Hunter, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Glenn Close, et al. I can see her as a softer version of Glenn Close's character on Damages, maybe dealing with getting laid off and finding a new way in the world? Alternatively, she'd make an interesting lead on a procedural show.
Let's also assume that a substantial part of our population wants to see Josh Charles working again.
