I think Drive will probably be difficult to spec, in the same way that Lost, 24 and Desperate Housewives are difficult to spec.
Prequel.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want,
But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?
I´d also take something character based, with humor and of course lots of drama. But since I hardly know anything about Drive it would be hard to do that. There are not many dramas out there which one could take, but I then I hardly know everything on US TV. Hm, maybe a Battlestar Galactica with a out of character plotline, since they aren´t exactly much jokes in show, I think? Honestly I have no idea. As for Lost, 24, DH I think you are right. For 24, for example, I can only think of starting a new day for a spec, which would be, lets face it, lame.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So just saw "Gem"
If you would like to heart me, you know the drill.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'd just spec Knight Rider. Just for fun. Getting KIT's voice right, though, that could be tricky.

As long as it doesn´t have David Hasselhoff I´m all for it. You could replace him with ... how about a beagle? Cause beagles are always good aren´t they?

Awwwww, a beagle poking at KIT's buttons with its wee nose and pawing the steering wheel. I'd watch.

A beagle with a "wee nose"? Mine are all proboscides.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's fiction. You can do that.

I've never been able to tell with the local beagles because they're always yapping too fast to see what their noses look like.
