    The turkey in the Heroes special really should be able to paint the future....

    If Heroes gave the power of real flight to that turkey, then Les Nessman would have been correct when he exclaimed: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly..."


    (That's a WKRP reference, for you youngin's.)


    "... they're hitting the ground like bags of wet cement! Oh, the horror!"

    @Burke: "The Palmdale Shopping Center has just been bombed with live turkeys!"


    God I love that episode.


    It was Mr. Carlson who had the classic "god as my witness" line.

    @Queen_of_Bitternia: That ep (which is THE BEST THING EVAR) is on Hulu. The whole show might be. The title is "Turkeys Away".

    It's not really sci-fi (sci-fi friendly, at least, though), but HIMYM had the Slapsgiving episode last year, with actual internet-based interactivity.

    lol. I love the photoshop there. It made me giggle.


    Unfortunately, I'm working on Thanksgiving, so Thanksgiving can take its holiday parades and tv specials and shove it.


    On the plus side, I get a nice, fat turkey full of holiday pay. :D

    Day after, for me, but I volunteered for it. I'll be pulling 7.5 days worth of pay this week...

    Just like Heroes; create an awesome new character just to have them killed off in the same episode.


    Dont forget the Chuck special. Chuck must protect the governments secret turkey recipe from falling into the hands of a shadowy figure: Chuck's long thought dead, secret agent Grandma.

    "Who wouldn't want to see Summer Glau ride up on a horse to save Connor's ancestor by saying "Come with me if thee wants to live"?"


    If thou wantest to live.


    If thou wouldst live.


    "Thou" is a subject. "Thee" is an object. (Sorry...nerdosity kicked in,)


    But if it's Summer Glau, I could forgive the bad grammar.


    The "Heroes" special I would bankroll, if not for the lack of a bankroll.

    @TheAardvark: Thank you. I was just coming here to say that unto thee.


    I think the Lost one could actually work.

    Hmmm...I was expecting some sort of cyborg turkey from the future for Sarah Connor Chronichles, but then I vaguely remember something like that appearing in an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I can't remember what that particular episode was about though, because I only vaguely remember Aqua Teen Hunger Force...for reasons I won't go into...


    Anyway, funny pitches, especially the one for Heroes.
