JUST WHAT AMERICA HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.

Yet another show about cops. And doctors. And lawyers. But this time there’s a twist!

Meet Dr. Jack Newsome. He’s a fully certified brain surgeon. But he’s also a federal prosecutor who just happens to be the Chief of Police in Pleasantville, California.

We all know America loves doctors, right? Especially TV doctors. From PERRY MASON to General Hospital to ER to that show with the bald guy, up to the present day…with virtually the same plots from sixty years ago, updated and dumbed-down for the current generation of viewers.

But recent studies indicate that the American viewing public also loves to watch tedious, contrived courtroom dramas about “edgy” lawyers who are “mavericks” that live by their own rules.

Bingo!

DR. COP. LAW is all these things. And more.

[Maybe we can even throw in a cute pet of some sort. Perhaps a talking dog! Or a parakeet. Discuss…]

But above all: Americans love cops. I mean we really, really love cops and police brutality and law and order administered with an iron fist [at least white folks do, anyway…]!

And like the proverbial battered wife, the traumatized population loves watching TV shows about cops even more! Hours and hours of endless rehashes of the same old, tired genre, one after the other: CSI Miami, CSI New Orleans, CSI Chicago, CSI Las Vegas, CSI here, there, and everywhere..!

Americans are obsessed with violence and death and killing people. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

The pilot episode of DR. COP. LAW sees Dr. Jack involved in a shootout with Mexican gang members in the operating room of Pleasantville Hospital…while he’s in the middle of a delicate surgical procedure!

A tense hostage situation ensues. Thanks to Jack’s negotiating skills, the gang bangers surrender peacefully.

Then, by an amazing twist of fate, DR. COP. LAW must prosecute his own case against the would-be hospital assailants! It’s an example of small-town justice gone awry.

Polling suggests that the viewing public just can’t get enough of these mawkish programs, which are designed to appeal to the absolute lowest common denominator [i.e., the average American]. The numbers bear this out.

Logic, reason and any semblance of character development or storyline goes right out the window when Dr. Jack Newsome is on the scene. The plot could have been written by a 12-year-old…and guess what? It was! The studio contracted out to a local grade school [LaBrea Prep] and asked Mrs. Gimmel’s 6^th grade English class to come up with ideas for the show. It was a resounding success! Sure, we still had to dumb it down a bit to get it past the censors, but it was well worth it.

And, as an added bonus: no royalties to pay! Kids don’t know from royalties…we bought them new phones…they were happy as clams.

Future episodes of DR. COP. LAW can also be cobbled together from old Murder She Wrote, Streets of San Franciso, ER and Matlock episodes [except for the old MATLOCK episodes that have already been rehashed for the new MATLOCK…]

Finally, Americans love quality and originality. They can feel the brilliance oozing off the screen. That’s why DR. COP. LAW is bound to be a sure fire hit this fall!
