Daniel ... better make that three attempts. Three was a '99 attempt starring John Larroquette called Payne. [link]

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

The second one ("Amanda's") only lasted for 6 episodes in 1983.
With Bea Arthur in for John Cleese. Ponder that one for a second.
I recall hearing that way back before the series changed considerably (i.e. during development), CHEERS was supposed to be an attempt at doing FAWLTY TOWERS. But I may be conflating the other failed attempts with Cleese's actual appearence(s?) on CHEERS.

All is well that ends in pizza.
With Bea Arthur in for John Cleese. Ponder that one for a second.
Actually that was the one where they wrote out Basil. Bea Arthur was supposed to be Polly.

More so, actually. I could see her doing a distaff Basil type. She'd also make a good Sybil, but Polly? Does not compute.

Yes I have! And you know who continues to be blindingly hot! And Rodney continues to be the princess he has to rescue, which always pleases me.

Right? With the arms? I love the arms.
Also, Rodney? He loves Batman. Batman is his hero. Will you write me an AU where Rodney is a very grumpy Batman and John is his Dick? You know, after Amish!Rodney.

With the arms, and the slouch, and the sunglasses, and the SLOUCHING.
And an AU where Rodney is Batman is making my brain hurt. Oh god. I'm trying to map John and Rodney on DC characters and eventually my coworkers will want to know why I'm crying with laughter.

John would make a good Blue Beetle.

You just know, when Ronon was telling the story about his superhero, Rodney was thinking "Batman could rip people's entrails out if he wanted to."
Seriously, I bet there's a fic in there. John is a Superman-type, Rodney's a Batman-type. They could have a whole debate! And then sex.
