frustratedpilotJust awoke from a nap.
Premise for a television series...the setting looks like our contemporary world, but something's strange. Like how sorcerors and mages are walking around in public and nobody seems to think it's wrong. The central character is a magic-using private detective, who is capable of time-travel and other useful feats. (Crossbreed Doctor Who with Charmed, Men In Black, Harry Potter, and Sliders and I think I come close to the idea.)
The pilot's plot is set in Washington DC and involves the President of the U.S.' favorite brand of chewing gum. Why is this important? Tell you the truth...I can't figure that part out myself.
In the series, Eddie Murphy would play a recurring role, as a mage who often helps out the hero but just as often is out for himself and in competition with the hero...kind of like Doctor Who's The Master but not as nasty and much more unpredictable. All the episodes with him in the cast, the Nielsen ratings go into orbit and there are rumors of him getting his own series...but he never does.
What do you think?
