My New TV Show Idea!

I am hereby pitching the following television series. I think it will be a complete smash, so please send checks to me, care of me.

We have seen the adventures of Henry "Indiana" Jones as he battles Nazis, mad cultists, Communists and Nazis. He has crossed oceans and fought bad guys everywhere from here to there and Nepal (which is neither here nor there) leading to 5 movies and a show about his childhood, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. But what about that other element of his life? How did he grow into the polished academic we all know and love?

It is time for a show that explores Dr. Jones, the archeaologist, and his Quest for Tenure. Episodes follow department meetings, political infighting and the constant fear of publish or perish. We will have to cast a young Marcus Brody and even Salah can be part of the action as we first meet him when he is still an international student in the B School. Imagine the wild chases through the stacks as Indy fights a deadline while trying to track down an elusive footnote. Dreaded confrontations with students during office hours, students who ask for extensions due to laziness. Poisoned apples, constant papercuts and ink blotches and complaints about grades haunt the young Prof as he negotiates the tenure track, keeping lunch meetings and rescheduling review sessions because he has a podiatrist appointment.

A sure fire hit. I figure Ryan Gosling as Dr. Jones. Send me my money.
