You’ve spent the last six months storyboarding a video for Weezer. After you’ve made your presentation to the band, you notice Rivers Cuomo sulking and unimpressed. “We kind of wanted to be in a TV show again,” he says, while playing with his shoelace and daydreaming of skateboarding as a child. You have to think fast. Which vintage show do you suggest, who will play what role, and which original cast member will you track down for the cameo?

Mork and Mindy…I’m sure Robin Williams would be down to do it.

Daria.They could play students that are successful and straightforward in their personal and social lives,just like Daria.That would be a good comeback for the both of them.

Besides,those are two similarities they do have.Or why not a take on a movie-specifically from Woody Allen?Not only because of Rivers’ and Woody’s signature mod glasses(well,Rivers’ frames are better looking than Woody’s)but the quiet,thoughtful,and creative personalities(despite that triflin’ daughter marrying controversy-WOODY!)and talents.Just goes to show they’re like two peas in a pod.

Freaks and Geeks. Not that old, but still a classic. Rivers would play Bill. And, uh, maybe get Seth Rogan or something to appear for a few seconds.

Quantam Leap. They could bounce around in time putting right what was wrong and having fun in the process.

Gilligan’s Island….why not? Sure, some would have to be girls, but it’s fun to dress up sometimes!!
