SUPER SIX LIST - "FOREVER" CROSSOVER POZZ'BILITIES

Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I think crossovers (or at least a one-sided visit from a TV character from another show) would boost a show's standings in the ratings.

'Forever' could use such a boost. I've got a bad feeling it won't get to broadcast its full order of episodes because of its weekly drop in the ratings.

So here is a list of TV characters who could boost the show through pre-broadcast publicity.

SUPER SIX LIST

TV Characters Who Should Be 'Forever' Guest Stars

1)  THE DOCTOR
'Doctor Who'
Well, duh.

2)  JOHN MUNCH
'Homicide: Life On The Street', 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit', et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.....
Now that he's retired, Munch still might keep his hand in and consult on a case that Dr. Morgan is working.  Besides, I don't think Belzer has ABC show in his tally as the Crossover King.  And I think a conspiracy theorist like Munch might find something about Dr. Henry Morgan to whet his appetite.....

3)  JOHN AMSTERDAM
'New Amsterdam'
In the unseen history of 'Forever', I would not be surprised if Henry Morgan had not already crossed paths with the 400 year old Dutchman in New York City.  But if not, it may be too late - I believe John Amsterdam has met his true love and fulfilled his destiny/curse.

4)  DUNCAN MACLEOD
'Highlander'

Henry Morgan is a different sort of immortal than depicted in this TV series which was based on a movie franchise.  I think if one of those immortals sliced off Dr. Morgan's head, there would be no energies to be absorbed.  Henry would just disappear and reappear in water.  MacLeod could come to the medical examiner's defense when another Immortal decided to hunt Henry down to verify that.....

5)  RAYNA JAMES & JULIET BARNES

'Nashville'

This is the only "crossover" which would be with a current ABC series.  And we needed an appearance representing the ladies.  It's easy enough to get Rayna and Juliet to New York City - a concert at Madison Square Garden or perhaps a recording session.  Perhaps the NYPD would be needed to protect the singers because of deadly stalker who already killed once.  And it would be up to Henry to figure out who the killer is from clues left behind at his last murder scene.

6)  ALEX REIGER
'Taxi'

This would work if it was no more than a quick cameo in which Henry grabs a cab and thinks that his cabbie is his adopted son Abe.  But it would be worth a lot in publicity!

Do you have any suggestions for crossovers that might have helped 'Forever'?

BCnU!
