I grabbed Frank Reynolds in the 8th.  Funny person.

[Lucky17]

Lucky17
Lead: Sam Axe
Love Interest: CJ Cregg
Funny Person:
Best Friend: David Addison, Jr.
Badass: Sydney Bristow
Mentor: Thomas Magnum
Wildcard: Buffy Summers
Primary Antagonist: Skeletor
Secondary Antagonist:
Theme Song: "Hair of the Dog," Nazareth

It's all coming together. Can't see anyone taking my secondary antagonist, and I still have two guys on the board for Funny Person.

Could potentially slide Addison over to Funny Person, and take someone else for Best Friend. Bruce Willis is versatile enough, I think.

Edit: I think I may just do that. The two Bruces can handle most of the comic duties, with some snarkasm from the ladies to fill in.

[KCattheStripe]

For the role of love interest, I cast Kate Morgan from 24.

[Lucky17]

She's not even a doctor!

[D.o.s.]

Actually it looks like I'm up, and I have a minute, so I'm taking David Bowie - Venture Brothers, as Mentor.

And there's the first penciled in pick of mine to get sniped. By a latecomer, no less.

All of the fists. I shake all of the fists at you.

All I can say is that Hula Rock probably would've still been on the board 

It's ok -- my original idea would've had Ali G in thrall to David Bowie, but I like him better in the Badass (?) role.

[bdm860]

I take Daniel Desario (James Franco) from Freaks & Geeks.



Going against your "mainstream" casting and show structure forms, I'm casting him as Walter White's son and love interest, but not in an "Alf-and-his-lover" perverted way (*cough* Champkind *cough*).  This is the go-to-the-ends-of-the-earth love that a father has for his son.

So college dropout Daniel Desario ends up making a deal with Tony Soprano and the mob to make drugs.  The police, led by Vic Mackey (The Shield) bust the lab and confiscate all the supplies and money, and now the mob holds Daniel Desario responsible, since he's now incarcerated, the mob visits his father, Walter White who very reluctantly agrees to make the drugs to pay his sons debts.

With a new, top quality drug supply, the Soprano crime family wars with the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle gang (led by Clay Morrow) and The New Life Gospel Church criminal organization (led by Clay Davis from the Wire) for control of the black markets, while those other organizations also try to recruit Walter White away from the Sopranos.

[D.o.s.]

IMO, the Walter White incest would've given this show the twisted edge to stand out from the more typical antihero crop.

Think about how much crazier Ray Donovan would be if they'd all been banging each other back in Boston?

This is a family show.

About drug dealers, corrupt police officers, the mob, and other violent gangs.

Only wholesome American values here.

[D.o.s.]

... but you could've titled it "all in the family."

Anyway, am I good to take my second pick? Lots of people are still MIA...

[StartOrien]

OK, I'm going to announce my two picks and the name of my show very shortly.

Next time we do this draft, there will be multiple characters taken from "The Peaky Blinders"
