Here's a sampling of high-tech action/adventure shows we'd like to see.
Even though "eBaywatch" didn't make the final cut, we'd be proud to
produce any of these other New Economy small-screen series:
1. Modem, She Wrote: Each week, our intrepid detective tries to
solve the ultimate mystery: why her modem won't ever connect
at 56k.
2. Micro-CHiPs: Ponch and Jon now patrol the Information
Superhighway.
3. Carly's Angels: Chief exec Carly Fiorina instructs her team
of three vixen market analysts on how to prop up HP's sagging
stock price.
4. Hawaii 6.0: An upgraded version of the classic series. Steve
McGarrett goes surfing for bad guys online.
5. T. J. Hacker: A retired cop, with an uncanny resemblance to
James T. Kirk, takes up computer hacking to track down the
miscreants who canceled his TV show.
6. The Excel Files: Inexplicable things are happening to the
data in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Can this puzzle be
solved? The truth is out there.
7. The AOL-Team: Each week, AOL, Time Warner, Netscape, and
Mr. T unite to promote corporate mergers and make the world
safe for capitalism.
8. Magnum, PC: This series about a crime-solving personal
computer that goes by the code name Deep Blue is based in
beautiful Hawaii. Season finale cliff-hanger: Will Deep Blue
be seduced by the wily charms of the Texas Instruments Speak
'n' Spell?
9. The Incredible Bulk: The exciting adventures of Windows,
which just keeps growing and growing.
10. Buffy the Virus Slayer: Buffy and her fearless gang of
antivirus definitions stalk and kill VBS files -- no small feat
while wearing a halter top and high-heeled boots.
