What to expect from your favorite shows, through the eyes of The Daily Show’s writers
By fred | February 5, 2008
We’re all wondering when the strike is going to end. But our real question is not there, but lies onto the heart of our favorite shows. Selfish as it may be, we all want to know what’s going to happen next for our beloved characters, we want the strike to end, and our series to return so we can - finally - found out.
What the Hell is that Island, who is the mother, will Jim & Pam be happy ever after, those are the question we’re all dying to find out, and thanks the writers from The Daily Show you can find out, now !
New York Magazine has a little piece where they asked writers from one show to writer for another show, like The Simpsons writers pinning some twisted future for The Office. But the best of it all, if you ask me, came from writers from The Daily Show, who went over 13 shows in a way that, I suspect, no one else could. And it is freaking hilarious !!
Here you go, 13 shows explained by J. R. Havlan, Steve Bodow, Rob Kutner, Tim Carvell, Jason Ross, Kevin Bleyer, Rachel Axler, Sam Means, Scott Jacobson, and Rich Blomquist, writers from The Daily Show.
Lost
It turns out the island is actually a peninsula. Boy, are they embarrassed.
Heroes
The power to keep track of all the new heroes becomes way rarer than invisibility or time travel. Seeking to scrimp on budgets, NBC rolls out an entirely special-effects-free spinoff called Bystanders.
House
In order to prove a housewife’s flulike symptoms are actually a rare bronchial infection contracted from giraffe dung, House must kill and dissect the housewife. His colleagues protest this grave Hippocratic breach until—guess what? Turns out he was right about the giraffe-crap thing.
How I Met Your Mother
The show takes a dark and unexpected turn when Ted’s children are conceived, but then aborted.
Pushing Daisies
Attempting to revive his strike-threatened show, Ned decides to “touch himself.” Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much he touches himself again, killing the series for good.
